Dancer Kameron Saunders falls on stage during Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’

Dancer Kameron Saunders is joining in on the viral “demure” TikTok trend after a recent fall on stage during one of Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” concerts. 

Saunders, who has been busy dancing alongside the pop star for her series of shows at London’s Wembley Stadium, took a spill while Swift performed “The Tortured Poets Department” section of her set. 

The dancer, whose brother is former Kansas City Chiefs player Khalen Saunders, poked fun at his gaffe in a funny Instagram post Aug. 17. He uploaded a clip of him slipping and added an audio recording of record scratch and a voiceover that said, “Yep, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.”

His stumble then played in slow motion before Saunders stood up and caught up to Swift, who didn’t seem to notice his fall as she sang “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” 

In the caption, Saunders continued to laugh at himself and referenced the latest TikTok trend from creator Jools Lebron about being “very demure” and “very mindful.”

“You see how I didn’t trip boss lady when I ate s— last night?” he said, referring to the “Fortnight” singer. 

He playfully added, “Veryyyy MINDFUL veryyyy Demure,” with a few sparkles emoji. 

Saunders assured concerned fans that he was OK after the stumble. “I saw all of your kind ‘he’s such a professional. jumped right back into the choreography’ comments. I’m fine. Promise,” he wrote. 

He included a few crying-laughing emoji and said, “Just a bit of an ego check falling in front of 92,000 people! BUT this deserved a laugh. Enjoy!”

Swifties teased him in the comments by altering a few of Swift’s song titles to fit the occasion. 

“Kam can do it with a broken hip,” one joked. 

Another said, “thanK you AMiee,” adjusting spelling and capitalization to align with the dancer’s name. 

A third commented, “Miss Americana and the Hip Break Prince,” a play on “Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince.”

One Swiftie complimented Saunders’ professionalism while using the lyrics to “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” She said, “But he was hitting his marks…..You are amazing,” and added a red heart. 

Saunders’ most recent post wasn’t the first time he participated in the “very demure” trend. For each of the “Eras Tour” concerts, Saunders says a funny phrase when Swift turns to him during the bridge of “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” 

At one London show, Saunders put on his best British accent to say “Are you mad?” before Swift belted out the chorus. 

He shared a video of the moment on Instagram and wrote in the caption, “You see how I ask ‘are you mad?’ in my posh British accent….verrrryyyyyyyy demure.”

The “very demure” trend has taken over the internet this month thanks to Lebron’s TikTok posts about being “modest and respectful” in the workplace. One of Lebron’s videos has reached over 3 million likes on the social media platform. 

In an update on Aug. 14, Lebron, who is transgender and uses she/her pronouns, revealed in a TikTok video that the success of the “very demure” trend has changed her life.
