Taylor Swift is clearly enthralled by Dancing with the Stars' decision to theme an entire week after her extensive and beloved catalog of music.

The pop sensation, 33, shared a special video message for the contestants of the ABC competition ahead of the night's first celebrity performances.

After an introductory routine from the show's pro dancers and a message from Mandy Moore, Taylor's personal choreographer for the Eras Tour and tonight's guest judge, the singer herself chimed in with a short and sweet clip.
