Taylor Swift looks stunning in a bikini. No surprise.
In early December 2024, Taylor played the final concert of the Eras Tour.
The monumental success of the tour's concerts around the world is not solely due to the singer. Her entire crew participated in this effort and reaped the rewards.
Turns out they hung out a lot too. That's why a photo of Taylor in a bikini surfaced.
Behind-the-scenes photos of Taylor Swift are rare
Aside from Taylor's official videos, BTS photos of her are rare. And yet, here we see her lounging on a boat while wearing a multi-colored bikini. It appears to have been during a brief respite during the Eras World Tour.
Some might not recognize the billionaire with her white baseball cap and sunglasses. But Taylor's face is famous and distinct. And, at the risk of sounding crude, so are his legs.
Taylor is not alone in the photo. As you can see, she is with others on the yacht. She leans against backing vocalist Melanie Nyema. Also in attendance is backup singer Jeslyn Gorman – who shared the photo (and others) with Instagram the first Saturday of 2025.
As you can see, Taylor Swift appears in another photo in the carousel. There, she poses with Gorman and Nyema and fellow singers Eliotte Nicole and Kamilah Marshall. Oh, and pianist Karina DePiano. (This appears to be a stage name)
Gorman was sure to score those involved, including Taylor.
However, she didn't share the photos just to show off her summer fun. This was a broader post to recap “some things” she had “learned in 2024.”
Taylor Swift's tour felt like a 'chosen family'
“The family I chose is truly awesome,” Gorman reflected in his Instagram caption.
It's no surprise to see Taylor Swift spending quality time with her backup singers (and pianist).
Taylor enjoys a close working relationship with her singers, dancers and more. Taylor herself frequently posted photos of her talented tour mates as Eras defined two years of their lives together.
During the Eras World Tour, Taylor Swift broke records time and time again as she traveled to five continents, sold more than $2 billion in tickets, entertained 10.1 million fans, and performed 149 shows.
From the singers to the dancers to the countless other “invisible” team members who helped make this project happen, she didn’t do it alone.
And Taylor knows it. She paid out nearly $200 million in bonuses. It's not a total salary, just bonuses. Taylor knows that without her talented and dedicated team, she's just another very famous woman singing on stage. It's good, but it's not a concert.
What sets these photos apart?
Most of the Taylor Swift photos we see are either official releases – of her, her tour or her team – or professional photos taken of her at Travis Kelce's football games or on stage.
Photos of Taylor's friends, from her touring family to her A-list celebrity friends, offer a different insight into her life.
We're sure the people who care about her aren't posting anything she wouldn't want made public. But fans still enjoy these behind-the-scenes looks.
