Does Taylor Swift lip sync in her Eras Tour?
For the majority of her performance, Taylor Swift does not lip sync during the Eras Tour. She is very much singing live, as you can tell when in attendance at one of her shows.
However, many of Swift’s songs incorporate a backing track and/or backing singers, which may play during moments of intense dancing and other choreography. Taylor’s live feed drown out this backing track when she sings but, if she stops, the track can be heard momentarily while she performs a dance move.
