Taylor Swift’s New Orleans concert stage malfunction explained
During Taylor Swift’s concert on October 27, as part of her Eras Tour in New Orleans, an unexpected stage malfunction occurred. This created a challenging situation for the performer and her dancers. While singing “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” Swift found herself on a small platform that was supposed to move around the stage.
As Swift began her performance, everything appeared to be going well until the platform failed to function as intended. It was designed to glide forward toward her backup dancers while she sang. When Swift confidently stomped her foot during the lyrics, “But what if it did,” the platform remained still, leaving her stuck.
However, Swift quickly adapted to the situation. Footage from the concert shows her maintaining her performance, gracefully stepping off the platform and joining her dancers at the center of the stage. As Swift continued singing, she navigated the large stage with ease. When her backup dancers moved the malfunctioning platform closer, she took a seat on it while seamlessly singing.
As it became evident that the platform would not cooperate for the remainder of the performance, Swift confidently walked down the long runway. She executed the choreography without missing a beat. Her backup dancers also adapted to the situation. They joined her at the top of the runway to continue the dance. At the conclusion of the song, Swift returned to the spot where she had sat earlier. Meanwhile, the malfunctioning platform was lowered beneath the stage.
