Taylor Swift faced an unexpected challenge during her concert in Dublin when a platform malfunction left her stranded in mid-air. The incident happened on Saturday at Aviva Stadium while she was performing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” on a raised platform that failed to descend. In a video clip, Taylor is seen standing and then sitting on the edge of the platform, contemplating a potentially risky jump.
Fortunately, one of her dancers, dressed in a matching all-white outfit, came to her rescue. With some impressive improvisation, the dancer helped her down safely, ensuring she avoided any injuries. Despite this “Eras” tour mishap, the show continued without further issues.
The incident highlights that even Taylor Swift’s meticulously planned performances can encounter technical glitches, offering a contrast to Dave Grohl’s recent remarks. Last week, Grohl suggested that Taylor doesn’t always sing live, a comment that stirred up her fanbase.
Taylor is scheduled to perform her third show in Dublin tonight, a city that served as inspiration for her album “Folklore.” Following her Dublin concerts, she will head to Amsterdam for a series of shows next weekend. Fans are undoubtedly hoping for smooth sailing and no more mechanical issues for the remainder of her tour.
