The Agency

Here are the profiles of all the members of The Agency. The band’s name came up during the filming of the video for Picture to Burn, since all of them dressed up in suits, chucks and dark glasses, pretending to be secret agents. They adopted that look briefly during some appearances.

The Dance Crew

Contrary to The Agency, the Dance Crew is assembled for the tour and disbanded later. During the Speak Now Tour, the dancers called themselves The Residents. The RED Tour dancers don’t have an official name, although I’ve heard “the RED Troupe” a couple of times in Twitter. Not everyone here has a profile yet, so for now it points to their Twitter or Facebook page.

The RED Tour Dancers (2013-)

The  Residents from the Speak Now World Tour (2011-2012)


The Fearless Tour Dancers (2009-2010)
