Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> had some assistance from her dancer Jan Ravnik<\/strong> after the Eras tour stage malfunctioned in Dublin, Ireland. During the singer\u2019s Saturday, June 29, concert, the raised portion of the stage that she was standing on didn\u2019t lower to the ground correctly amid The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> set.<\/p>\n

The malfunction happened<\/a> after Taylor, 34, finished performing \u201cFortnight,\u201d with she and Jan, 29, facing each other on raised platforms. As the set transitioned into \u201cThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,\u201d Jan\u2019s platform lowered to the ground, while Taylor\u2019s did not. Luckily, Jan quickly realized what was going on and raced over to help the Grammy winner to the ground, lifting her up and placing her where she needed to be.<\/p>\n

Fans on social media applauded the dancer for his quick thinking and for helping Taylor out. Of course, Taylor handled the malfunction like a pro<\/a> and didn\u2019t miss a beat, as she continued singing the lyrics to \u201cThe Smallest Man Who Ever Lived\u201d amid the transition.<\/p>\n

Jan is one of the fan-favorite dancers on the tour and fans were thrilled to see him featured so prominently during \u201cFortnight\u201d when Taylor added TTPD<\/em> to the setlist in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last few days were a roller coaster of emotions,\u201d Jan wrote on Instagram when the tour resumed for its European leg following a two-month hiatus. \u201cMy family came to see the opening show in Paris and my mom saw me performing live after almost 10 years! I have never felt so nervous to perform in Paris, even more so than for our 1st show back in Glendale, AZ! Paris shows will always be remembered!\u201d<\/p>\n

When the tour hit London, Jan also got to interact with Taylor\u2019s boyfriend, Travis Kelce<\/strong>, as he took the stage<\/a> for a surprise appearance on June 23. Travis, 34, joined Jan, Kam Saunders<\/strong> and Taylor in a skit ahead of her \u201cI Can Do It With a Broken Heart\u201d performance. The bit features the dancers dressing Taylor up and forcing her to perform, and Travis showed off his acting skills by jumping in and doing the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still cracking up\/swooning<\/a> over @killatrav\u2019s Eras Tour debut,\u201d the \u201cBlank Space\u201d singer wrote on Instagram after the concert. \u201cNever going to forget these shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Travis wasn\u2019t in attendance at Taylor\u2019s Dublin shows on June 28 and June 29, as he was back in the United States at a friend\u2019s wedding. Taylor will hit the stage in Ireland for one final show on Sunday, June 30, before the tour moves on to Amsterdam for three back-to-back shows beginning on Thursday, July 4. The tour continues in Europe throughout the summer. Then, Taylor and her crew will return to the United States and Canada for more shows from October to December, which is when the Eras tour will conclude for good.<\/p>\n

Jan has been slaying it on stage at the Eras tour since opening night in Arizona in March 2023. \u201cI\u2019m beyond grateful to be part of Taylor Swift\u2019s Eras Tour,\u201d he wrote on Instagram at the time. \u201cStill can\u2019t put into words how I feel after yesterday\u2019s opening night! I never thought that small town boy from Slovenia could come so far, but here we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
