Taylor Swift's generosity aside, her production team deserved a huge 
bonus because they allowed her to do stunts I have never seen in a live 
performance such as glow brightly like a literal star

and diving into the stage, swimming across the stage, and emerging from 
the other side dry and in different clothes.

I myself am not a fan of Taylor's music, but I am very impressed with 
her as a performer and think she is beautiful inside and out.
