Taylor Swift suffers mechanical glitch, carried off the platform at Dublin concert
Taylor Swift kept calm and collected during a mechanical glitch at Saturday night’s Eras show in Dublin, Ireland.
The 14-time Grammy winner, 34, was performing her hit song “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” off her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” when she got stuck on a raised platform mid-song.
In fan-recorded video footage shared on X, the platform Swift stood on did not retract when it was supposed to, leaving the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker stuck in the middle of the stage.
Meanwhile, her dancer Jan Ravnik’s platform lowered, leaving him not leveled with the singer.
After realizing the mishap, Ravnik rushed over to the “Fortnight” singer to help by carrying her down and placing her safely on the ground — with neither of them missing a beat.
It wasn’t long before fans rushed to social media to praise the pair for remaining calm during the glitch.
“They are the ultimate professionals! and I mean the entire cast, band and crew,” one fan wrote on X.
“Not all heroes wear capes…,” another added, while a third wrote, “Actually so professional you wouldnt even know it was an error.”
Elsewhere during her Dublin shows over the weekend, Swift’s boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce managed to pull off the ultimate surprise.
The NFL star rushed from his teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s wedding in California to be in the crowd for his girlfriend’s concert Sunday.
Fans spotted the athlete in a VIP tent as the pop star took the stage for her third night at Aviva Stadium.
The 3-time Super Bowl champ, 34, was seen rubbing elbows with several A-listers at the show, including Julia Roberts and Stevie Nicks. “Bridgerton” actress Florence Hunt was also in attendance.
The “Pretty Woman” star, 56, was spotted getting touchy-feely with the NFL hunk, per a fan video, as the pair exchanged some friendly laughs during the concert.
