Taylor Swift’s ‘I Can Do It With A Broken Heart’ Music Video Clears Up Two 'Eras' Tour Mysteries
Taylor Alison Swift, you trickster. After seemingly dropping Easter eggs for Reputation (Taylor’s Version) throughout her 'Eras' tour’s Wembley Stadium shows, the star instead premiered a music video for 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' at the end of the European leg in London.
The track, which is the most recent single from The Tortured Poets Department, details Swift’s experience performing on a global stage while going through a breakup. The music video splices together behind-the-scenes clips from the Eras tour, showing an inside look at Swift’s monumental performances. It also finally shows fans that she does, in fact, ride into each concert via cleaning cart, and she dives onto a puffy plastic mattress at the end of the acoustic set, finally clearing up two Eras tour mysteries.

Prior to the drop, fans were buzzing about what might happen to celebrate the European section of the tour. The most advanced Swifties noted countless Easter eggs, claiming Reputation (Taylor’s Version) was all but certain to be released.
How’d Swift trick us exactly? Here are the Easter eggs fans pointed out:
The bracelets worn by fans during her show flashed green during a song from Fearless (Taylor’s Version), a colour typically only reserved for songs from reputation.
As she’s exited the stage the last few shows, she has made a snake gesture with her hands.
She debuted a new, all-black bodysuit during the Midnights set of her Eras tour, which many believed to be a subtle nod to her darkest album.
Swift made a 20 gesture with her hands during her song '22,' which many fans believe referenced the announcement happening on August 20.
Swift had one last song from Reputation to perform on the Eras tour ('I Did Something Bad'), and she finally did so during her August 17 Wembley show. Swift originally blacked out all of her socials when promoting the album on Aug. 18, 2017, once again causing Reputation-mania at the end of the summer.
After the final song of Monday's show played, all hope for a special announcement seemed lost. However, when Swift descended into the stage, the music video for 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart' played, giving London fans a first look.
Last night's show also featured surprise appearances from Florence Welch, who performed 'Florida!!!' with Swift for the first time, and Jack Antonoff, who came out during the acoustic set to play a medley of their hits.
