Taylor Swift He demonstrated his professionalism and ability to solve problems on stage during his last stop on the Eras Tour in New Orleans, last Sunday at the Caesars Superdome.
The incident happened while he was performing “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?”, one of his 2024 hits, when the floating stage, nicknamed the “Tayoomba,” suddenly stopped working. This device, designed to move to the rhythm of the song, stopped right at the verse “So tell me everything is not about me,” leaving the star in a difficult position.
Taylor Swift cleverly handled a stage breakdown at the Eras Tour in New Orleans
Far from being fazed, Swift, 34, handled the situation with her trademark grace and calm. Instead of stopping, she continued singing and dancing, accompanied by her dancers, who also continued the choreography around the broken stage. Without missing a beat, Taylor jumped off the “Tayoomba” and continued her performance down the catwalk, while her dancers removed the defective stage. In an improvised twist, he had to perform his hit “Down Bad” without the platform, something that surprised fans, who had never before seen that song without the floating element that usually accompanies it.
The show in New Orleans was the last of three consecutive nights in the city, held on October 25, 26 and 27, and although her partner, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, was unable to attend due to his season in NFL, Taylor was accompanied by her friends and colleagues Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The couple, married since 2012, enjoyed two of the three shows, showing their unconditional support and getting emotional as they sang and danced to Swift’s hits.
A special moment came on Friday, when Taylor appeared to throw a dig at Kelce during their performance of “Midnight Rain.” At the end of the song, the singer made a gesture that simulated throwing a soccer ball, which caused screams of excitement among her followers, who assumed it was a reference to her American football star boyfriend.
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will continue next Friday in Indianapolis, where she will offer three more nights of her successful show, which continues to captivate fans of all ages and establish Swift as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
