He knew she was (in) trouble.
Taylor Swift dealt with a mechanical mishap that was solved by one of her backup dancers during her second concert in Dublin, Ireland, on her Eras Tour .
At Saturday night’s show, the 34-year-old pop star was performing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” from her new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” when she got stuck on a raised platform.
The part of the platform that Swift was standing on didn’t retract as it was supposed to, so she was stuck there in the middle of the stage.
Luckily, her backup dancer Jan Ravnik came to her rescue.
Ravnik rushed towards Swift and carried her off the platform.
Another person joked , “Where is Travis [Kelce] when you need him?”
Swift performed in Dublin for three nights over the weekend.
At the third show, she performed “Clara Bow” as a surprise song and dedicated it to Stevie Nicks who was in the audience. Nicks, 76, is name-checked in the song .
“She’s a hero of mine and also someone that I can tell her any secret and she’d never tell anybody,” Swift said to the crowd before performing the song. “She’s really helped me through so much over the years. I’m talking about Stevie Nicks.”
Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was also at Sunday night’s show in Ireland’s capital.
The NFL star, 34, flew to Ireland after attending his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s wedding in Calabasas, California, on Saturday night.
Kelce enjoyed the show in the VIP tent alongside other celebrities including Nicks, Julia Roberts and “Bridgerton” actress Florence Hunt.
The athlete, who had on a tuxedo and a top hat, carried Swift to a couch in between songs and put make-up on her.
Fans went wild when they realized Kelce made his first Eras Tour onstage appearance.
The record-breaking Eras Tour started in Arizona on March 17, 2023. It has since become the highest-grossing tour of all time after surpassing $1 billion in revenue.
