Taylor Swift fans admire her stage dive but can't help remember her epic fail

Taylor Swift’s impressive stage dive has captured lots of attention, but fans aren’t about to forget the moment it failed.

When music lovers head to a concert, they want to be immersed in a spectacle that transcends the experience of listening to the songs at home. Right now, the hottest ticket in the world has ‘Eras Tour‘ written on it. Taylor Swift is, without doubt, the biggest pop star on the planet, her latest becoming the highest-grossing concert tour of all time and making over $1 billion. The show is made up of so many magical moments, including a daring stage dive that has made for so many great videos—apart from one, that is…

Taylor Swift fans remember Eras Tour stage dive fail

A Tay fan on TikTok recently shared a compilation of the singer dramatically jumping into an opening on the floor of the stage. “Never have I ever seen anyone jump into the stage like Taylor does,” they captioned the post.

Over the video, they hilariously wrote: “I feel like we normalize Taylor Swift jumping into a stage… it’s not normal.” Although all the examples shown go smoothly, the top commenter reminds us that the elaborate stage theatrics haven’t exactly had a 100% success rate.

“Remember that one time that the doors didn’t open so she just stood there as a thing with a yellow dress went,” one commented, and judging from the 21.4k reactions, Swifties do indeed remember.

Fortunately, those who don’t remember can either jog their memory or experience it for the first time. A fan shared the immortal moment to TikTok, writing: “Didn’t even realize I had this iconic shot of the dive malfunction… [Tay] yelling “f**k” is my new favorite thing ever.”

It’s an unforgettable Eras Tour snapshot, and one that people are glad didn’t pan out any worse. “Good thing she looked before trusting the door and diving,” one reacted.

Fans video reveals much more about Taylor’s stage dive

The popular Swiftie fan page The Swift Society shared a video showing the recurring stage dive movie from a different angle, shedding insight into how it’s pulled off.

Shot from above, you can vaguely see something expanding below the stage. Fans have pointed out that it’s an inflatable bag, the apparatus inflating to safely catch her when she falls.

When she’s waiting to fall, you can see that the lights underneath the stage are red, signaling danger. However, when they turn green to show her it’s safe, she falls below the stage.

It’s an intriguing bit of behind-the-scenes footage to illustrate how much thought and stagecraft goes into the shows, if that wasn’t crystal clear already from, well, everything else the crew orchestrates to make the Eras Tour the most in-demand show around.
