During her “Eras” tour concert at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Taylor Swift experienced a platform malfunction while performing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
The raised platform failed to descend, leaving her stranded in the air. A video clip shows Taylor contemplating a risky jump from the platform before one of her dancers, dressed in all white, assisted her down safely.
Despite the technical glitch, the concert continued without further issues. This incident underscores that even high-profile performances like Taylor’s can face unexpected challenges, providing a real-life counterpoint to recent remarks by Dave Grohl. Grohl implied that Taylor doesn’t always sing live, sparking a reaction from her fans.
Taylor’s Dublin performance is part of her ongoing “Eras” tour, which includes another show in Dublin and subsequent concerts in Amsterdam next weekend. The Dublin venue holds special significance for Taylor, as the city inspired her album “Folklore.” Fans hope that the rest of the tour proceeds without any further mechanical problems.
