Did Taylor Swift make a surprise appearance at Lovin’ Life Music Fest in Charlotte?

Dozens of rap, pop and rock artists are hitting the stage this weekend for the inaugural Lovin’ Life Music Fest — and potentially Taylor Swift?

The beloved superstar is infamously known for dropping hints and there has been a lot of speculation that she was teasing a special appearance at the new three-day music festival in uptown, CharlotteFive previously reported.

But unfortunately for Swifties, she did not take the stage at Lovin’ Life on Friday night. There was still a theory she could show up on Saturday to perform with Stevie Nicks, but flight data on Saturday morning didn’t look so good for that idea, either.

To catch you up, here’s how the theory started:

• As explained in a viral Tik Tok video, fans were hoping that she’d perform her new song “Fortnight” with headliner Post Malone on Friday, which marked two weeks — or a fortnight — since the release of her latest album.

• Fans have also picked up on other Easter eggs on the Lovin’ Life and the Taylor Nation social-media accounts.

Although she didn’t show up on the first day of the festival, some Swifties believed she could perform with Stevie Nicks on Saturday, “which is 15 days from the TPD release and the 15th lyric line in ‘Clara Bow’ is when she says ‘You look like Stevie Nicks.’”

According to a “Taylor Swift Jet’s (Tracking)” account on Bluesky, she flew last weekend to Nashville, about 400 miles west of Charlotte. However, on Saturday morning, the same account reported her plane landing in London , making the Stevie Nicks performance theory seem unlikely.

Lovin’ Life organizers haven’t confirmed or denied whether or not Swift will be making it out to the festival, but only time will tell.
