Fans of Taylor Swift have commended the pop superstar for so deftly dealing with a stage malfunction during one of her recent performances. Under the mantle of her ongoing Eras Tour, Swift was belting out her hit “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me“ at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Sunday night when a mobile platform, affectionately known among fans as the ”Tayoomba," suddenly jammed. Unfazed by the hitch, she promptly climbed down and danced off along the catwalk with her backers in tow. “The way she killed that, I wouldn’t mind if it breaks again,” as one person wrote online. “Taylor Swift is such a seasoned professional.”
