Taylor Swift<\/b><\/a> avoided a major mishap when recovered after almost falling off stage during her concert in Tokyo, Japan, during the <\/span>Eras tour<\/span><\/a> on Friday, February 9.<\/p>\n While performing her third show at Tokyo Dome, Taylor, 34, lost her footing when she walked down a set of stairs on her Folklore cabin. She visibly stumbled in her long dress and managed to catch herself before she potentially took a serious fall, which was captured in videos shared via social media.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cMy life flashed before my eyes,\u201d the \u201cAugust\u201d singer told the crowd with a laugh while acknowledging the incident. \u201cIt\u2019s all good, everything\u2019s fine, everything\u2019s great. I\u2019m just so happy that I didn\u2019t fall.\u201d<\/p>\n Shortly after the clip started circulating online<\/a>, several Swifties took to X to express how happy they were that she didn\u2019t fall and credited her safety harness for keeping her safe. \u201cI\u2019m really glad that she wears that safety harness strap because if she didn\u2019t have it and she lost her balance just a little more that could [have] ended in a nasty fall,\u201d one person commented. Another chimed in, \u201cLaugh aside but that\u2019s actually so dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n The first few shows of the tour in 2024 have included other mishaps, including Taylor confusing fans when she shared her plans to perform new tracks<\/a> during the surprise song section of the concert on Thursday. February 8.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is something that I love about the Eras tour so much<\/a>,\u201d the \u201cKarma\u201d singer told the crowd while introducing the surprise song portion of the night. \u201cI really have been trying to challenge myself to play songs that I\u2019ve either never performed live or definitely haven\u2019t done on this tour, so I have selected two brand new songs I\u2019ve never performed.\u201d<\/p>\n The audience quickly burst into loud cheers, and many people seemingly assumed that Taylor was going to perform songs<\/span><\/a> off of her upcoming album, <\/span>The Tortured Poets Department<\/span><\/i><\/a>. However, she quickly clarified the comment and revealed she would not be singing songs from the new album.<\/p>\n \u201cNot on a new album! Not brand new,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI am so sorry that you \u2026 I just realized what you thought I said. Like, I haven\u2019t performed them live. They\u2019re brand new live. They are not on the new album. Oh my god. I am so sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor noted that the confusion was her \u201cfault,\u201d and said she hoped her fans would be \u201cas excited\u201d by the surprise songs she selected for the evening before she performed \u201cEyes Open\u201d and \u201cElectric Touch.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Her shows in Japan come just days after she attended the Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 4. Not only did Taylor make history as the first artist to win Album of the Year four times<\/a>, but she also left fans in shock when she announced her new album will be released in April.<\/p>\n \u201cOK. This is my 13th grammy. Which is my lucky number, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever told you that,\u201d she told the crowd while accepting the Best Pop Vocal Album award for her 2022 album, Midnights. \u201cI wanna say thank you to the fans by telling you a secret that I\u2019ve been keeping from you for the last two years, which is that my brand new album comes out April 19. It\u2019s called The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
