Taylor Swift doesn’t mind a minor stage glitch. On Saturday at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, the 34-year-old pop artist shook off an Eras Tour accident when the platform she was standing on during “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” became stuck in an elevated position.
Dancer Jan Ravnik wasted no time rushing to assist Swift in carrying her back down to the stage while she kept singing the moving song from The Tortured Poets Department album. Swift seemed unconcerned with the incident, flashing a large smile and continuing with the performance.
This is hardly the first time Swift has had to act fast in middle of show. Over the past year, the star has brilliantly embraced some unplanned show moments, naming them “The Errors Tour.”
Swift arrived in Dublin for three evenings with her Eras Tour, welcomed warmly by U2 before Friday’s concert.
The vocalist of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” posted a beautiful note and bouquet of flowers the band brought her on her social media. The 34-year-old singer said on her Instagram Story that she was “already feeling that Irish hospitality” and thanked the venerable Irish rock band “for always being the classiest & coolest.”
The message that was turned over, “Dear Taylor,” Welcome back to our hometown. Leave some of it standing? Your Irish fans group. Headstage Bono signed the note; guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton, drummer Larry Mullen Jr.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Swift’s boyfriend, even made an appearance on Sunday’s programme; fans speculated that his visit would surprise Swift personally.
The singer brightens in Swiftie-shared footage on social media when she seems to see Kelce in the VIP tent.
The duo was all smiles as they were seen leaving the stage together and waving to fans after concluding the event.
Swift is currently having a few days break before returning to perform on July 4 in Amsterdam.
Following his on-stage debut in London, where he joined Swift’s dancers to perform a bit ahead of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” Kelce’s most recent performance at the Eras Tour concert follows.
A source told ET last Friday, “It was so much fun for Taylor and Travis to be on stage together at her show. It was definitely a new, defining point in their relationship and they had a blast getting the chance to show a personal side of themselves with the world. They are so happy with how everything turned out and loved seeing all the fan reactions.”
The source continued, “They also had a great time practicing together behind the scenes and were so cute and sweet with each other. They are a naturally bonded pair. It was a very special experience for them and also hints at what their future might hold together.”
