An Unlikely Taylor Swift Attribute Stood Out To JJ Watt
Watt revealed he was at the show that kicked the Eras Tour off in Glendale, Arizona, last March. The singer’s stamina is what impressed him the most.
“Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, shocking,” the former Pro Bowler remarked.
“I am truly impressed by the physical stamina and ability of it. I don’t think people give that anywhere near enough credit. I don’t think they understand how difficult that has to be to get up there for that long every night.”
Having gone to a recent performance, McAfee could only agree.
“I didn’t know you could be that electric for that long,” he said. “Stamina. We’re talking stamina.”
Taylor Swift is the REAL DEAL

The Eras Tour Is Coming To A Close
Taylor Swift has wowed plenty of fans with her insane work ethic, and lots of people have wondered how she’s been able to string that many performances together over a period nearing two years.
The Eras Tour has been the highest-grossing tour of all time, which is not that surprising given who we’re talking about. It’s about to come to an end, however, with shows in Toronto and Vancouver to cap it off.
