The singer was towards the end of singing her hit song « Delicate » when she realized she was stuck.
When you’re a pop-star singing sensation performing a sold-out concert, technical glitches are not something you want to experience in front of thousands of adoring fans. Alas, this was exactly the case for Taylor Swift who was performing in Philadelphia on Saturday night as part of her “Reputation” Stadium Tour at Lincoln Financial Field.
While some performers might start to freak out, as would be natural, the “Sparks Fly” singer handled the situation like the pro she is. Many videos of the incident were taken and uploaded onto Twitter. In some of the videos, one can see the exact moment when Swift realizes she is in fact stuck as the confusion is written all over her face.
In one particular video, the audience can clearly hear the “Love Story” singer say, “I’m pretty sure I’m stuck up here.” However, she maintains her cool and follows up with, “It’s a really nice view though.”
So in the middle of #Delicate, #TaylorSwift noticed that she was kind of stuck in mid air… @taylorswift13 #ReputationTour pic.twitter.com/Nym50Wy7Vp

Her stage crew was finally able to get down on the stage, however, it was not the stage she was originally hoping to fly over to. In another video, Swift engages in an open conversation with her audience and her stage crew, who were talking in her ear. At one point she even contemplates just walking through the audience to get to stage B and once the crowd realizes she hints at doing so, they go wild.
Taylor getting stuck and not knowing how to get to B stage (AKA being the cutest human ever) more clips to follow! #reptourPhilly @taylorswift13 pic.twitter.com/v3COq68RuG

She then followed up with an a cappella rendition of her hit song, “Wildest Dreams.”
So part of @taylorswift13 ’s #RepTourPhiladelphia set malfunctioned, so she improvised with an impromptu performance of #WildestDreams ! @taylornation13 pic.twitter.com/wN3tSpcAfe

It was an eventful two days in Philadelphia for Swift as Friday night’s concert saw a couple get engaged. Anthony and Stephanie, who met in 2013 while attending Swift’s “Red Tour” in Philly, were granted backstage passes where they officially got to meet the woman who they credit for bringing them together. The “Enchanted” singer was completely taken by surprise when Anthony proposed to Stephanie right in front of her.
