Taylor Swift handles Eras Tour stage malfunction like a pro during New Orleans show

She’s shaking it off.

Taylor Swift handled a stage malfunction like a pro during her third and final Eras Tour stop in New Orleans on Sunday night.

According to videos shared online, while the Grammy winner performed the first verse of her 2024 hit “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” the reflective silver platform — dubbed the “Tayoomba” — suddenly stopped working in the Caesars Superdome.

As she sang, “So tell me everything is not about me,” the floating device didn’t move to the beat.

Swift, 34, played it off, dancing and singing while her dancers swayed around the platform.

The “Bad Blood” singer then jumped off the “Tayoomba” and danced down the catwalk as her dancers moved the platform off the stage.

Swift was then forced to perform to hit “Down Bad” without the platform for the first time ever.

The pop star held three shows in the Big Easy on Oct. 25, 26 and 27.

Though her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was not at her concerts due to his ongoing NFL season, her pals Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds attended not one, but two of the three shows.

The couple — who tied the knot in 2012 — packed on the PDA as they danced and sang along to Swift’s chart-topping songs.

The billionaire singer seemingly had the Kansas City Chiefs star, 35, on her brain during her show Friday night when she gave a sweet nod to him while singing the outro to “Midnight Rain.”

Swift appeared to act as if she was throwing a football, which prompted excitement from her crowd of fans who believed the move was a gesture to Kelce.

The “Cruel Summer” singer’s Eras Tour will continue on Friday with three consecutive shows in Indianapolis.
