Dublin, Ireland – Taylor Swift faced a minor stage malfunction during her “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” performance in Dublin over the weekend. As the pop icon began singing the first lines of the song from her album “The Tortured Poets Department,” the elevated section she was standing on failed to lower as intended, leaving her momentarily stranded. Despite the glitch, Swift remained composed and was quickly assisted by one of her dancers, Jan Ravnik.
A fan’s close-up video from the concert captured the moment, showing Swift trying to contain her laughter as Ravnik helped her down from the malfunctioning stage. The show continued without further interruptions, with Swift delivering a three-and-a-half-hour performance as part of her international Eras Tour at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
Following the Dublin concerts, Swift’s tour is set to move to Amsterdam for a series of shows at the Johan Cruijff Arena from July 4-6. Meanwhile, Billboard announced that Swift’s album “The Tortured Poets Department” has maintained its No. 1 position on the Billboard 200 chart for a 10th consecutive week.
Swift has been performing a significant portion of the 31-track album live during The Eras Tour, including hits like “But Daddy I Love Him,” “So High School,” and “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” The show also features surprise acoustic performances, with this weekend’s additions being “The Albatross” on Saturday and “Clara Bow” on Sunday, the latter dedicated to Stevie Nicks, who was in attendance.
Throughout Swift’s tour, she has showcased her versatility and stage presence, captivating audiences with both her larger-than-life performances and intimate acoustic sets. Despite the occasional technical glitch, Swift continues to prove her professionalism and dedication to her craft.
