Once again,Taylor Swiftis proving she knows how to “Shake It Off” during stage malfunctions.

With the piece still malfunctioning, Swift then performed “Down Bad” for the first time on the tour without the use of the moving platform. Her quick thinking in the face of the surprise scenario landed the kudos of fans on social media, who commended Swift’s seamless transition despite the malfunction.

“The sheer talent and quick thinking of Taylor and her dancers to navigate the tayroomba malfunctioning at such a pivotal moment in the show is just unbelievable — they didn’t miss a beat and figured it out so seamlessly,” wrote user Brittany Conk onX(formerly Twitter).

In another instance, fan footage shared onTikTokfrom the singer’s performance of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” during her Dublin shows in June showed the elevated stage portion she was standing on failing to lower when it was supposed to, leaving her stranded for a moment.

Swift is currently wrapping up her multi-year Eras Tour run, which heads to Indianapolis next before closing out with performances in Toronto and Vancouver.
