Errors tour: Taylor Swift carried off platform at Dublin concert after stage malfunction
Taylor Swift dealt with a mechanical mishap that was solved by one of her backup dancers during her second concert in Dublin, Ireland on her Eras Tour.
At Saturday night’s show, the 34-year-old pop star was performing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” from her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” when she got stuck on a raised platform.
The part of the platform that Swift was standing on didn’t retract as it was supposed to, so she was stuck there in the middle of the stage.
The “Anti-Hero” singer continued singing like a pro as she held onto Ravnik and escaped from the platform.
The moment was captured on video and shared on social media by fans at the concert at Aviva Stadium.
“He was so graceful, like it was supposed to be part of the show,” one fan said about Ravnik in the TikTok comments.
“Her face switching back to serious after lmao😭,” another person wrote about Swift.
A different person tweeted, “And Taylor does not miss a beat!”
“Actually so professional you wouldn’t even know it was an error,” a fourth fan wrote.
Another person joked, “Where is Travis [Kelce] when you need him?”
Swift performed in Dublin for three nights over the weekend.
At the third show, she performed “Clara Bow” as a surprise song and dedicated it to Stevie Nicks who was in the audience. Nicks, 76, is name-checked in the song.
“She’s a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secret and she’d never tell anybody,” Swift said to the crowd before performing the song. “She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks.”
Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was also at Sunday night’s show in Dublin.
The NFL star, 34, flew to Ireland after attending his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s wedding in Calabasas, Calif., on Saturday night.
Kelce enjoyed the show in the VIP tent alongside other celebrities including Nicks, Julia Roberts and “Bridgerton” actress Florence Hunt.
He didn’t join his girlfriend on stage like he did last week during one of her shows in London.
On June 23, Swift brought Kelce out before she performed “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” at Wembley Stadium.
The athlete, who had on a tuxedo and a top hat, carried Swift to a couch in between songs and put make-up on her.
Fans went wild when they realized Kelce made his first on-stage appearance at Swift’s tour.
