Swift’s fans, who call themselves Swifties, cheered her on and praised her professionalism on social media. Some even joked that the stumble was part of her choreography, as she sang the lyrics “I keep cruising, can’t stop, won’t stop moving” right after the incident.
This was not the first time that Swift encountered a challenge during her Tokyo concerts. On Wednesday, February 7, 2024, the opening night of her tour, she nearly fell off a chair while singing “You Belong With Me”. She managed to catch herself and laugh it off, saying “That was a close one” to the audience.
