Taylor Swift is praised by a burlesque legend for her unique approach to a sexy routine

Taylor Swift was just lauded for her burlesque performance in her October 2022 Bejeweled music video.

Swift, 35, directed the visual for the two-year-old track — featured on her Midnights album — which included cameos from Laura Dern, Haim, and Pat McGrath.

Dita Von Teese also made an appearance in the sensual clip, and she reflected on the moment while promoting her upcoming London show Diamonds and Dust.

The 52-year-old professional dancer appeared alongside media personality Lorraine on her eponymous talk show on Wednesday, where she praised Swift's talents.

She credited the Tortured Poets Department music artist with the idea for them to perform side-by-side, mentioning that other entertainers don't bother consulting with her and instead steal her signature moves.

'The approach that she gave me was a side-by-side. Certainly, people approach me all the time like, "Oh, can I use your glass?" — or they don't even ask me, they just copy as best they can,' the show business vet explained.

'She knew everything about burlesque and what I do, which is really amazing. And she's so smart, and professional, and funny,' Dita gushed about the Eras artist. 

She also described Taylor as 'amazing,' noting, 'I just love that she [was] like, "I wanna showcase what you do."'

The video sees the pop star transform from Cinderella to a dancer clad in a stone-covered corset and red lipstick.

Von Teese is widely credited with giving burlesque — which originated in the 1800s — a modern refresh.

Her appearance on Lorraine comes ahead of her new burlesque show, Diamonds and Dust, which she announced in 2023.

Dita began teasing out information on Instagram as early as March 2023.

It wasn't until this month that she began reaching out to talent with casting call alerts to perform in London's West End.

And finally, on Wednesday, it was announced that the sexy show will begin this summer on June 16, 2025.

The production is described as 'a tale of the Good, the Bad and the Lucky' on the show's website.

Dita will star as Lady Luck and will don her trademark glitzy and skimpy outfits, plus her notable props.

The theatrical production will take place at the Emerald Theatre in the heart of the West End.

Previews for the show start on June 16 and the show will officially open on July 3, according to the site.
