Taylor Swift experienced a set malfunction and was stuck in a floating basket during the Philadelphia stop of her Reputation stadium tour this weekend.
Taylor Swift Stuck In A Basket
On Saturday, July 14, the country pop diva was performing her hit single "Delicate" while she was being transported from one stage to another when her floating sparkly basket suddenly stopped moving. Fans were able to capture the moment when she realized that she was stuck in mid-air.
"I'm pretty sure I'm stuck up here. It's a nice view though," the 28-year-old told fans. "What you just saw was me going straight up and down in this sparkly basket. It's supposed to take me to the other side of the stadium."

Swift remained cool during the whole ordeal, continuing to sing while she updated fans about her mid-air situation. She performed her previous hits "Our Song" and "Wildest Dreams" without any backup music while the crew tried to get her ride running again backstage.

Taylor Swift Becomes Third Wheel After Couple Gets Engaged
The Philadelphia stop of the 2018 Reputation tour was indeed a night to remember. During a fan meet and greet, a couple also got engaged in front of the chart-topping singer-songwriter.
Swift posted a photo of the moment a man got down on one knee to ask his girlfriend to be his wife. The newly engaged Swifties apparently met during the Red tour five years ago.
