In a video originally released on TikTok and now circulating across social media platforms, an eerie figure can be seen standing alone at the top of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium rafters as Taylor Swift performed for a crowd of 65,000 people.

The mysterious figure also made it to the top end of the stadium, where no other attendees were seated, and remained unknown at the time of writing this article.
