Fearlessly Taylor, the UK’s most popular tribute act for the American singer, was performing for a crowd of young kids and their parents.
The event took place on Monday (10 Jun) at the shop in Liverpool City Centre.
In the video captured by Lauren, you can see Fearlessly Taylor perform the hit song 22 to the crowd.
In an attempt to engage them, the performer opened up the song to the fans to sing back.
The performance was put on as part of Waterstones Little People Big Dreams event where kids from ages five to nine came down to watch Taylor’s doppelganger.

Lauren, a student from the Wirral, Merseyside, told What’s The Jam: “It was a ticketed event but we were sitting in the café having a coffee when it started so we didn’t pay for tickets ourselves, just observed from the café.
“In person it was very unexpected and so we were taken by surprise during our coffee when this all started happening.
“It was an event intended for children so from an adult perspective it was slightly awkward and funny to watch but the tribute act did really well and the kids were made up.

“It was fairly busy, lots of kids coming straight from school with their parents.
“The tribute act herself was really impressive and engaged the kids really well, it was a wholesome and age-appropriate show for the kids.”
Other Swifties were left in stitches by the video.
Scott Bryan added: “It’s the sound of the teacups that does it for me.”
Another said: “I cannot believe this is real.”
One other joked: “It’s my dream to play Waterstones one day.”
Cameron Clark said: “Taylor Swift from Temu.”
Emily said: “Close enough, how do you get tickets?”
Fearlessly Taylor said: “It was two, 45 minute sets.
“I had already performed an encore.”
Waterstones has been approached for comment.
The real Taylor, 34, is currently on the UK leg of her Eras world tour.
