Because "gaffer" tape is used (I should say, by now, *was* used) to edit
recording tape.  It is *Splicing tape*, not *Duct tape* (of course, to
some people it might be duct tape, but to recording engineers it is
splicing tape).

Therefore, Kate and all other recording artists are "Suspended in (Gaffer Tape)"(At least, their voices are!)
