Kevin Winter/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management The Eras Tour might belong to Taylor Swift - but the pop star's bejeweled dancers, backup vocalists and band members help the whole place shimmer. Kicking off in April 2023, Swift's career-spanning stadium concert consists of a three-and-a-half-hour journey that takes fans through 44 songs grouped into 10 acts, with each one portraying a different album conceptually. On stage alongside Swift are sixteen dancers, three backup vocalists and a live band of six instrumentalists, many of whom have toured with the singer for more than a decade. "Something of that magnitude, you just hope that it's going to be a match when you're working with somebody and it really was. I dig her music and I dig her and I love her vision," Swift's Eras Tour choreographer, Mandy Moore, told Page Six in November 2023 of the massive undertaking. "It's so nice to be on a team with somebody." While Moore admitted that bringing the project to life was anything but "easy," she praised Swift for her professionalism and down-to-earth nature. Celebrities Who Had the Time of Their Lives at Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' "It was a ton of numbers in a very short amount of time, but I have to say, every day I went to work, I was just like, 'This is amazing,'" she gushed. "We're in this massive stadium, putting it up, rehearsing it, and [Taylor] just walks in, just normal, like, sits on the stage and wants to practice whatever. I just love that that's who she is!" Keep scrolling for a full guide to Swift's Eras Tour backup dancers and vocalists: Kameron Saunders The University of Missouri-Kansas City graduate has gone viral online for his performance during "Bejeweled." Prior to his time with Swift, Saunders has toured with several prominent dance companies including Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Saint Louis Ballet and Missouri Contemporary Ballet. He also appeared in 2023's The Color Purple and the Ryan Reynolds-led Christmas movie Spirited. Off stage, Kameron has a deeper connection to Swift as his brother, Khalen Saunders, used to play for the Kansas City Chiefs alongside her then-boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Kameron detailed learning he got the gig in Swift's End of an Era docuseries. "Spaces like space that Taylor is curating on a night-to-night basis, I wish we had more of that, even outside of entertaining," Kameron said. "It's so important to be heard, to be understood. My background as a dancer, I had a lot of dancers and professors who were not-so-kind, mostly around my size and if I wanted to be a professional dancer." Kameron initially planned to teach dance until getting a "confidential" audition opportunity for a then-unnamed artist and choreographer Mandy Moore. "I didn't have a dollar to my name, and I called my brother [Khalen], like, 'Listen, I don't know what this is, but something is telling me I have to be in this room,'" he said. Moore revealed in a separate interview that Kameron was "magnetic" in his initial audition. "He's a great dancer, his smile is like the thousand-watt smile," she added. "He just embodies what I felt the spirit of what these people need to be." Swift, for her part, gushed that Kameron "lights up" the stage and the "entire vibe as a tour."

Kevin has worked at events like Paula Abdul's White Party, Coachella with 88Rising and various music videos. He previously appeared in Disney's Zombies 2, The Next Step, Rookie Blue and Backstage.
