Taylor Swift knew she was in trouble when she couldn’t walk off.
While performing in Dublin, the singer’s mechanical platform got stuck, stranding her during her performance of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Thinking fast, Swift’s backup dancer Jon Ravnik assisted her off the platform.

As in previous performances, the platform was supposed to lower and disappear into the stage, but fan-captured video shows Ravnik’s platform descending while Swift’s stays in place. Swift kept singing though looked visibly confused, but smiled as Ravnik came over and scooped her off the structure.
Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce briefly took over chivalrous duties from Swift’s backup dancers while in London, carrying her to the fainting couch during her performance of “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
The Eras Tour has been going on since last year and has had its fair share of mishaps, including a broken heel that left Swift walking around like Barbie.
