As the 34-year-old pop star sang the opening verse of Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me during the Tortured Poets Department segment, her mirrored silver platform, which Swifties affectionately call “Toyomba,” suddenly stopped working.

The pop star chose to sing on the floor before dancing on the catwalk. His backup dancers eventually removed the broken prop from the stage of the stadium hosting 83 thousand people.

The event marked the first time the 14-time Grammy winner performed her song “Down Bad” without “Tayomba”.

Netizens praise Taylor Swift for handling the situation like a professional

Meanwhile, netizens praised Swift’s stellar performance, with one on X writing: “She pulled it off so well, I’m surprised it’s the first time LOL!”

While some of her fans labeled her a “seasoned professional”, others praised her, saying: “Not a beat missed, it’s amazing!”

“I think her walking instead of getting up makes it even more raw and dramatic. But either way it’s powerful,” one user wrote on X.

Another wrote: “The way he hit her, I wouldn’t mind if he broke again.”

Describing his improvement as “incredible”, one fan commented that his “performance was almost better this way.”

“Last minute issues resolved like real professionals! Tai and everyone!” Another noted.

Her last song of the evening was “Karma,” and she gave a shoutout to her boyfriend Travis Kelce after the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 in Nevada on Sunday.

“Karma’s the guy coming straight to my house on Chiefs!” He sang.

This week, Swift will visit Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis as a part of her 149-date, $1.93 billion tour, The Eras Tour.

The Pennsylvania-born musician, who attracts 91.6 million Spotify subscribers each month, will conclude The Eras Tour in Vancouver on December 8.
