The Most Epic Surprises From Taylor Swift's Eras Tour
One of Taylor Swift's dancers just couldn't fight the alchemy.
Following the end of the Eras Tour, Taylor's backup dancer Jan Ravnik gave fans an update on the ladder he shared a steamy viral moment with during the show.
"I'd like to announce that the ladder and I have mutually decided to part ways professionally," Jan joked in a Dec. 12 Instagram post. "However, we remain on good terms."
In fact, Jan revealed that he still has the ladder—which he would grind on as part of his choreography while Taylor performed "Lavender Haze" during the Midnights era of the concert.
"It's currently in a quiet retirement community (a.k.a. my living room), helping me paint walls and hang shelves," Jan quipped. "We ask for privacy and understanding during this heartfelt transition."
And while the dancer was happy to laugh about his NSFW routine, he also had a heartfelt thank you for Taylor and the rest of the Eras Tour crew.
"I still can't find the words to fully describe what I'm feeling," he shared alongside a carousel of photos documenting the performances. "It's like there's this weight in my chest, a mix of gratitude, love and sadness, because saying ‘thank you' just doesn't seem enough."
Jan was also overwhelmed by the passion he felt from his fellow dancers and "everyone behind the scenes who made the magic happen."

"I am not [the] same person I was 2 years ago," he added, "and I can easily say these were the best years of my life."
Lastly, Jan thanked Taylor for "changing my life!!"
As for Taylor herself, the Grammy winner had just nine words at the end of her epic tour, quoting her song "All Too Well" on Instagram Dec. 11, "It was rare. I was there. I remember it."
The tour also proved to be life-changing in another way for Taylor's team—including the dancers, truck drivers, caterers, merch teams, band members, security, video teams, choreographers and many more—as she gave out $197 million to her crew over the show's two-year run, E! News confirmed.

Taylor's boyfriend Travis Kelce also praised her whole team on the success of the Eras Tour.
"Shoutout to everybody that was a part of that show," he gushed on his New Heights podcast Dec. 11. "Obviously, it's her music, her tour and everything but that was a full production, man. It was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people."
