WATCH: Taylor Swift improvises after Eras Tour stage malfunction


Taylor Swift can do it with a broken stage.

The Cruel Summer singer had to improvise one of her most dramatic performances after a major stage malfunction occurred mid-concert.

During her Eras Tour setlist, Swift performs her track Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department while singing atop a moving platform.

But in fan-captured footage from night three of her New Orleans stop at Caesars Superdome, the stage – or the ‘roomba’ as its been nicknamed by fans – stopped working altogether.

The stage suddenly came to a halt mid-song while Swift was still standing and singing on it.

The pop star was quick to shake it off, jumping from the malfunctioning platform to improvise completely new choreography for her performance.

In the background, Swift’s dancers continued as if nothing was amiss before pushing the platform down the stage themselves so the singer could hop back on.

Swift called pop star mid-show – then she appeared on stage

As a result, the superstar had to improvise for her next performance of her song Down Bad, which also uses the moving ‘roomba’ on stage.

Proving she’s ever the professional, the pop star sang from the floor as a giant UFO on the screen appeared behind her.

Since starting her hugely successful Eras Tour in March 2023, the singer has had a few stage and wardrobe mishaps – and has even been dubbed the ‘Errors Tour’. 

On one occasion during her show in Cincinnati, Swift had to improvise her exit from the stage when the automatic trap door used to take her below stage failed to work. 

Swift’s latest show marks her last stop in New Orleans after a star-studded three nights.

The duo sang a medley of Carpenter’s hit songs Espresso and Please Please Please as well as Swift’s track Is It Over Now?.
