Taylor Swift jokes she's 'still swift af' after sprinting off stage following a malfunction on the Eras Tour
A clip of Taylor Swift sprinting off stage at a recent Eras Tour show is going viral.
The video appeared to show Swift reacting to a stage door malfunction in an attempt to stay on cue.
Swift got in on the joke by commenting under a TikTok video: "Still swift af boi."
Taylor Swift is truly living up to her name.
During a recent Eras Tour concert in Cincinnati, Ohio, the "Midnights" singer seemingly relied on her quick feet to stay on cue after fans filmed her encountering a stage malfunction mid-show.
One clip of the incident, uploaded by user @jamIs888 on TikTok, showed how Swift was wrapping her performance of "Look What You Made Me Do" from her "Reputation" album when she noticed something wasn't quite right with the stage floor.

According to pop culture Twitter account Buzzing Pop, a discreet door on the floor that the pop star was going to use to quickly exit the stage malfunctioned and didn't open. Though she momentarily strutted forward, appearing to play it off, Swift quickly realized she had no other option but to sprint away, dodging her back up dancers who were also leaving the stage at the same time.
Swifties in the comment section of the TikTok, which has about 230,000 views as of Sunday, were full of praise for Swift's nimble reaction to the unexpected situation.
"This woman just slays on every level," one user wrote. "I would've fallen so hard on my face if I tried to run in those heels," one added.
What's more, Swift herself commented on the TikTok, poking fun at the situation: "still swift af boi."
After Swift weighed on her unplanned exit from the stage, the Duolingo TikTok account – whose mascot is a green owl – joked that it was "getting swift af boi tattooed on my wing."
Even though Swift's stage door exit didn't go so smoothly this time around, it's worked out perfectly at previous shows. One of the most viral moments from her Eras Tour concerts occurred at her first show in Glendale, Arizona in March.
After finishing a piano performance, Swift, who was wearing a green flowy dress, turned around and dove under the stage as a sound effect of water splashing was heard.
According to People, illusion graphics on the stage made it look like Swift was swimming underwater toward the main stage area, stunning the audience.
