Taylor Swift found herself in a scary situation as she got stuck on a malfunctioning platform during her concert in Dublin, Ireland.

The 34-year-old singer performed her Eras Tour concert at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday night, but things took a turn for the worse during her show when a technical difficulty left her stranded in mid-air. Luckily, she was rescued by one of her heroic backup dancers.

Fans caught the moment on video as Taylor, perched on the faulty platform, was stranded above the stage while performing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Thankfully dancer Jan Ravnik, who had no trouble with his own platform, swooped in to help Taylor back to solid ground.

Despite the glitch, Taylor didn’t miss a beat and carried on with her performance like a true pro. Fans were loving the sweet moment Jan rescued Taylor and took to X to share their thoughts.

“Aww see when you’re strong and kind king,” one person wrote. Another said: “Oh that’s so nice,” while a third praised: “And Taylor does not miss a beat!”

In a heart-to-heart with the crowd, Taylor shared insights into her Folklore album creation during the COVID-19 lockdown, mentioning how the lush landscapes and rich storytelling tradition of Ireland were her muses. She told the audience: “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.”

Adding a personal touch, she confessed: “Folklore in general, it just belongs in Ireland. 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 that I pretended to go to every single day while I was writing it, I gotta be honest, kinda seemed like Ireland. So we’re back to where we belong!”

She also paid tribute to the host country by performing in a sparkly orange crop top and green skirt – the colors of the Irish flag. Taylor previously revealed she’d been given a special welcome from Irish rockers U2 who sent her flowers and a sweet note ahead of her gigs in Dublin.

The note read: “Dear Taylor, welcome back to our hometown … leave some of it standing? ! ! ! !” It was signed: “Your Irish fan club, Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry.” Taylor posted a picture of the gift on Instagram and wrote: “Already feeling that Irish hospitality! ! @u2, thanks for always being the classiest and coolest.”
