The delightful “Errors Tour” continues! Taylor Swift played off an equipment malfunction during her Eras Tour performance in Milan, Italy, on Sunday.
Swift, 34, was joined on stage by a crew member during the acoustic surprise song segment of her concert at San Siro Stadium as her piano appeared to be on the fritz. As she and the crew member tinkered with the instrument, she joked, “You know what, we finally broke it. We have finally broken this thing.”
Swift continued to pound on the top of the piano as she attempted to close the lid.
She then jumped back a bit as it closed with a snap, declaring, “Oh! I did it!”
During the night two performance in Milan, Swift delivered a mashup of “Mr. Perfectly Fine” from Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and the title track off Red on her guitar. She followed it up with a medley of Reputation‘s “Getaway Car” and “Out of the Woods.”
Fans were quick to speculate on social media that a hissing sound could be heard coming from the piano during the unexpected break in her performance. However, many noted that the sound in question was simply Swift laughing quietly into the microphone.
The online chatter comes as Swifties continue to eagerly await any news surrounding the highly anticipated release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version). The singer’s original 2017 album and subsequent tour was well known for its use of snake imagery.
This isn’t the first time Swift’s flower-covered piano has gone haywire during a show. After performing a rain-drenched show in Foxborough, Massachusetts, last year, Swift was hilariously spooked when her piano began to play itself on stage.
It’s worth noting, fans theorized online, that Swift announced the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) shortly after that incident.
Swift is headed to Germany this week, where she’ll play in Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg and Munich through the end of July.
The European leg of Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour continues this summer before it will wrap with a return to London’s Wembley Stadium for an eye-popping five-night stint. Swift already performed a trio of star-studded shows there last month, which included an on-stage appearance from boyfriend Travis Kelce.
While in London, Swift was also joined by Travis’ brother and sister-in-law, Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce.
“It was tremendous,” Jason told ET on Thursday at the 2024 American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
“She’s so not only talented as a singer, everybody knows that, the performance, the writing, the production, like all of that she does is truly remarkable,” the former Philadelphia Eagles star said. “It’s gotta be pretty rare that an artist can really wear all of those hats and it’s impressive to watch it take place.”
He added, “She’s all over the place on that stage, so [it’s] very impressive.”
