Taylor Swift’s Lead Guitarist Makes Bold Declaration About 'Purest' Eras Tour Moment
While fans recover from recent Eras Tour concerts during Taylor Swift's short break, her lead guitarist, Paul Sidoti, used the downtime to spotlight what he believes to be the best moment of each Eras Tour show.
The musician took to Instagram to share a fan video originally posted by chichigirllol22 showing a young girl interacting with Swift at a concert during the song "22." Sidoti wrote in the caption, "I’m often asked what my favorite song is to play in our set and although I have many favorites, this tops them all."
"The '22' hat moment is the purest example of pure joy and love I think I’ve ever witnessed and I get a front row seat every night," he went on, raving about the earnest interaction Swift has with a special fan at each concert.
Sidoti continued, "My only wish in life is that every child in the world were able to experience this moment.. and every night I’m a puddle.. ????????," before concluding his statement with the note, "Counting down the days til Miami!"
Swifties appreciated Sidoti's sweet post and shared their own love for the "22" hat moment, with one writing, "There is not a single 22 hat moment I haven’t cried pure tears of joy during cause seeing that unfiltered joy those kids feel gives me life."
"It's the most heartfelt, incredible gesture which will last those children a lifetime x," said another fan, while a third declared, "Watching these NEVER gets old."
Throughout Swift's Eras Tour, fans both at the concert and catching up at home continually raved about the adorable moment during each concert when the singer handed over her "22" hat to an emotional fan, with many debating which was the cutest.
Luckily, there are a few more to come as Swift finishes up her Eras Tour at the end of the year, with several more concerts in the U.S. and Canada.
