This year, Taylor Swift has given her fans multiple reasons to stay enchanted with the Eras Tour and the release of 'The Tortured Poets Department.' Though her current global tour has encouraged fans to revisit the different phases of her music, in recent days, Swifties have been feeling nostalgic, with some even longing for the return of past eras. Not long ago, there was a surge of interest among fans wanting to relive the ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore’ phases, but more recently, a 6-year-old video from yet another era has been gaining traction on X.

Taylor Swift was already a superstar six years ago, much like she is today. The only difference is that she is currently on her Eras Tour, whereas back then in 2018, she was on her Reputation Stadium Tour, enjoying the second night in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During the show, the pop star faced a brief stage malfunction and technical difficulty while performing her hit ‘Delicate’ at Lincoln Financial Field, prompting her to break into an impromptu a cappella rendition of her tracks ‘Our Song’ and ‘Wildest Dreams’.

Taylor Swift reportedly got stuck mid-air in a sparkly basket that was supposed to carry her across the stadium. However, staying true to her superstar form, she handled the mishap like a pro, joking with the audience, and explaining the situation while waiting for the stagehands to fix the problem. Although the Golden Orb blunder did find Swift capitalizing on her funny bones, it did leave fans a scope to savor something they did not see coming.
