On Saturday, June 29, 2024, Taylor Swift got stuck on a raised platform during her performance. Luckily, a dancer came to her rescue.
The incident occurred while she was performing “The Smallest Men Who Ever Lived.” Swift, 34, the renowned singer, was left suspended in mid-air when the stage malfunctioned.
Instead of disappearing from the stage as the platform lowered, a backup dancer, who appeared to be firmly planted on the stage, stepped in to help. This moment was captured by a fan in concert footage.
The dancer, Ravnik, quickly moved to assist Taylor Swift, who smiled at him as he helped her. This part of the performance was also caught on camera.
Once they were both back on solid ground, Ravnik rejoined his crew of dancers for the rest of the performance of “The Smallest Men Who Ever Lived.”
During the same Eras Tour Show, Taylor Swift talked about how Ireland inspired the fantasy-themed pandemic-era album’s story development.
After performing “Cardigan” in 2021, Swift interacted with the audience, saying, “How I imagined the album world looking was like Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters. You guys have that on lock, too. That’s very Irish, the storytelling.”
She continued, “When I was making this album, it was two days into the pandemic that I started Folklore. I wasn’t in Ireland. So I had to create an album where the imaginary world I pretended to visit every day while writing it… honestly, seemed a lot like Ireland. So we’re back to where we belong.”
Swift’s first Dublin show, held on Friday, June 30, was filled with enthusiasm and Irish pride.
