There’s an old saying in show business: The show must go on.
And pop megastar Taylor Swift put that old saying to the test during a recent concert in New Orleans after a mishap on-stage.
During her Sunday night “Eras Tour” performance in the Big Easy, the stage malfunctioned during a very intricate, choreographed section of the show, forcing Swift and her dancers to improvise.

While singing her hit song, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” off her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” Swift typically stands upon a moving platform. However, the platform malfunctioned leaving Swift “stuck.”
The movements of the platform mirror the lyrics of Swift’s song. As she sings, “So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street,” the platform is supposed to glide her across the stage while a graphic projection simulates movement.
Once Swift recognized the platform was not going to work properly, she slid off and strutted down the stage.
This isn’t the first time a platform has malfunctioned for Swift during the middle of a show as it also happened this summer in Dublin.
Swift will continue her domestic “Eras Tour” heading to Indianapolis next month.
