Taylor Swift Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction, Pauses Concert
Taylor Swift had a scandalous wardrobe malfunction on her hands while performing overseas that led to an awkward pause in the music for fans.
Fan footage of the slip-up appeared online showing stage hands rushing to her side after a flowing blue dress unclasped itself from her front, revealing a golden bra underneath. Video of the 20-second delay obtained by the Daily Caller shows the superstar in good spirits as she dealt with the unexpected twist in her show, telling fans to “talk amongst yourselves” while she regained her composure.

Undeterred, the “Bad Blood” singer made her way to a piano across the stage for her next piece in the three-hour show. Fans covered up the moment with whoops and cheers while Swift flashed a smile and wiggled her hips to show that all would be fine.

Now over halfway through her two-year long “Eras” tour, the 34-year-old singer is journeying through the western Europe leg of her tour. She will perform in France next month before doing more than a dozen shows in July across the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, and the U.K., according to her website. She stands to generate more than $4 billion through the tour, averaging $27 million per three-hour show, which equates to $150,000 per minute or $2,500 per second.
In December, the singer unveiled her grueling workout regimen to stay fit while belting out more than 40 songs per night and rotating through a dazzling intaglio of outfits that keep her fans on the edge of their seats. Speaking with Time, Swift said her daily routine required fast-paced walking or even some jogging on the treadmill while singing her entire setlist, followed by a special plan for strength and cardio conditioning at her gym.
“I wanted to get it in my bones. I wanted to be so over-rehearsed that I could be silly with the fans, and not lose my train of thought,” she said. “Learning choreography is not my strong suit.” She described plans to see her shows imitate Broadway plays. “I wanted it to show people so many different types of dance and performance,” she says. “Em said, ‘Mandy’s your girl.’”
Still, fans are quick to point out any cause for concern by the world’s biggest pop star. A dark turn in the lyrics of her new album also included more references to alcohol, and she has been seen out in public, including at Kansas City Chiefs games, drinking beers while her boyfriend Travis Kelce was on the field.
Her journey, marked by an undercurrent of her battles with alcohol, took a notable turn as Swift prepared for her Eras Tour. She admitted to halting her drinking to maintain peak physical and vocal condition—a move paralleled by an intense training regimen that her trainer likened to that of a “frat guy.”
With the exception of Grammy night—which she described as “hilarious”—she had also stopped drinking. “Doing that show with a hangover,” she told Time in December, “I didn’t want to know that world.”
