Taylor Swift started the European leg of her Eras tour last night in Paris.

And let me tell you, my timeline is full of fans who have A LOT of feelings about the changes she has made to the show.

Because it's an "eras" tour, Taylor obviously added a new section for her The Tortured Poets Department album.

One song she added to the setlist from the new album is "Down Bad," and the performance features some pretty cool alien abduction imagery. You can see the video here.

It looks like she's being abducted by a UFO.

As this person said, "The spaceship following her around with that light is so insanely cool. She and the team put so much work into crafting this new set."

Other people pointed out that the alien abduction tour visual makes sense because the song features a bunch of alien abduction imagery.

Ultimately, I love a good optical illusion.

I'm personally still pissed I never got to see the stage dive live!
