After a fan shared a video of a stage malfunction at her concert in Cincinnati, Taylor Swift poked some fun at herself.
During her Eras Tour stop in Cincinnati over the weekend, the 33-year-old singer was lowered to the stage from a platform, and she was supposed to exit through another trap door on the floor, reportedly for a costume change.
However, the trap door didn’t work – as Swift is seen stomping her foot on the stage ground, though when she wasn’t lowered below the stage, she took off running past her dancers to another exit.
A fan on TikTok – Jamls888 – shared a video of her running past the dancers, set to the AWOLNATION song Run.
Swift took to TikTok to comment on the video in a humorous fashion, stating, ‘Still Swift af boi.’

The show was even affected by weather issues in Cincinnati, with Swift tweeting on Saturday, ‘Hey Cincinnati – Alas we’ve got another weather situation but this just means I get to see you sooner! I’ll be going on an hour early at 7pm – we’ll open doors at 4:30. See you then!’
She also took to Twitter and Instagram to share snaps from the weekend shows, expressing her love for The Queen City.
‘Cincinnati I couldn’t love you more. Had the best two nights with you!!’ Swift began in her post.
‘Last night was so special getting to sing ‘I miss you, I’m sorry’ with @gracieabrams in the acoustic set and bringing out @aaron_dessner to play ‘Ivy’ in his hometown,’ she added.
‘See you soon Kansas City, meanwhile I’ll be counting down the minutes til Speak Now (my version) comes out July 7th WHICH IS VERY SOON,’ Swift concluded.
Abrams was set to open for Swift though her set was ultimately scrapped due to the weather forcing an early start to the show.
‘She’s one of my favorite friends and I love her so much. We haven’t sung together before, so I wanted to bring Gracie out on stage,’ Swift told the crowd.
Swift kicked off the Eras tour in March, her first tour since 2018, which celebrates all of her previous albums.

The rotating set list also features two surprise songs, with the singer addressing her unusual set list during her stop in Arlington, Texas.
‘One thing we said about the Eras Tour: “You think you can just go online, you think you can just scroll and know the setlist?”‘ Swift said.
‘You think you can just come prepared with little flashcards [that list the song order and my outfits]?’ Let it be said about the Eras Tour, we’re tricksy. That’s what we are [and] we enjoy a good, healthy setlist hijinks,’ Swift joked.
The tour continues with two shows at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on July 7 and 8.
