Taylor Swifts Opening Act Maisie Peters Seemingly Responded After Her Eras Tour Performance Was Cruelly Mocked

Peters took to the stage before Swift's other support act, Paramore , on the seventh London date of her record-breaking Eras Tour.

When Peters' appearance was announced earlier this month, the 24-year-old star could not contain her joy as she wrote on Instagram: Supporting taylor swift has been my dream since i was 12 years old and watched the love story music video for the first time.

She added at the time: It is such an honour to be part of something so special and iconic and i already know im gonna have the time of my life :) thank u dr @taylorswift . SCREAM !!!!!

Sharing photos from the Eras Tour stage, she wrote : Eras ill see u at 4:55 if i dont pass out from excitement before then

And after the show, Peters posted two photos of herself with Swift alongside pictures of her performance, writing: Long live thank you @taylorswift for everything, forever

It was exactly as i hoped it would be except better, Peters added. I met my hero and i havent stopped smiling since. IDK HOW IT GETS BETTER THAN THIS FR

In the clip, Peters has slightly altered the lyrics to one of her biggest songs, Lost the Breakup, to: You say: Wow, hey, its been forever, you want to get a drink, like, together? / I say: Im kinda busy, like, Im with Taylor tonight! / No shit, I won the breakup .

The star captioned the video: I just performed at the eras tour if thats not winning the breakup idk what is, also adding: That was so surreal eras wow thank u sm ill never recover from how special that was :)))))

However, the video did not land as anticipated, and Peters' vocals faced incredibly harsh criticism in the comments of her posts on both Instagram and TikTok .

Somebody else then posted the clip to X alongside the shady caption : Is this serious?!? , where it quickly gained traction from people who were quick to join in with the ridicule.

Why is everyone so mean one person commented on Peters' Instagram post. We have seen Maisie live before and she sounds amazing! She clearly mustve been nervous and SO SHE DAMN SHOULD BE we would be too if we were singing in front of Taylor on her tour HELP!

To all the people hating...did YOU just play the eras tour? no. you didn't. SHE DID somebody else added.

For context, Swift is believed to have written this song in response to music critic Bob Lefsetz giving her February 2010 performance with Stevie Nicks a cruel review.

In the review, Lefsetz claimed that Swift couldnt sing and, in a quote that aged particularly badly, that the performance has shortened her career.

Writing on her website after Means release, Swift said: I get it that not everyone is going to like everything that you do, and I get that no matter what, youre going to be criticized for something. But I also get that there are different kinds of ways to criticize someone. There is constructive criticism. Theres professional criticism. And then, theres just being mean.

She later adds: I can see you years from now in a bar / Talking over a football game / With that same big loud opinion / But nobody's listening / Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things / Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing / But all you are is mean

Maisie posting mean to her story 24 hours after she had the biggest gig of her career because some of yall are rancid cretins who cant keep your mouths shut for 0.2 seconds is actually so upsetting, one popular tweet reads .

Maisie should not have to post mean on her story a day after the best day of her career i hate all of you, somebody else wrote .

Another added : I saw this story and feel so bad for maisie because she achieved her dream of opening for taylor only to have haters ruin it. my heart hurts so bad for her.

She wrote: Anyway birmingham see u in half an hour!!! so excited to be back on the noah tour w u all, whos gonna sing w me.

We love you, Maisie!
