Russian pop star Polina Gagarina, a vocal supporter of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, recently held a large-scale concert at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium. However, the show has stirred more than just musical excitement. Several fans and observers noted striking similarities between Gagarina’s performance and Taylor Swift’s iconic “The Eras Tour.”

From the stage design to costume changes and thematic elements, Gagarina’s concert seemed to echo the aesthetics of Swift’s globally successful tour. This has raised eyebrows among music enthusiasts, especially given the tense political climate surrounding Gagarina.

Adding to the controversy, Polina Gagarina was recently included in the EU sanctions list as a pro-war Russian artist, further complicating her standing in the international music community.

It calls for the necessary steps to be taken to bring Hungary back to Eurovision and, if possible, send a Hungarian artist to the next available edition of the contest.
