Taylor Swift’s Band & Dancers Share Loving Birthday Messages for the Star’s 35th Birthday

Taylor Swift is officially 35 years old, and her Eras Tour crew is celebrating her birthday on Friday (Dec. 13).

Her fan-favorite backup dancer, Kam Saunders, shared his final Eras “Bejeweled” solo via Instagram, and in the video, he and Swift share an adorable hug before he repeatedly tells the star, “I love you!” In the caption, he wrote, “I hope that today you experience tenfold the love you put out! To me, to the cast and crew, to your friends and family, and to your fans! Happy f—ing birthday, gorgeous!”

It’s been yet another landmark year for Swift, who wrapped her 149-show Eras Tour earlier this month. The trek grossed more than $2 billion in 2023-2024. She also didn’t slow down on music releases in 2024, unveiling her Billboard 200 chart-topping album The Tortured Poets Department and its expanded Anthology. The album led her to claim the top 14 spots on the Hot 100.

She notched one more accomplishment leading up to her birthday on Thursday night (Dec. 12), winning 10 Billboard Music Awards for Top Artist, Top Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Artist, Top Hot 100 Artist, Top Hot 100 Songwriter, Top Streaming Songs Artist, Top Radio Songs Artist, Top Billboard Global 200 Artist, Top Billboard Global (Excl. U.S.) Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album — raising her all-time wins to a record-breaking 49, surpassing her tie with Drake and making her the most celebrated artist in BBMA history.
