Taylor Swift, the queen of pop, encountered a heart-stopping moment during her performance on The Eras Tour in Tokyo. Here’s how the superstar handled the unexpected turn of events and kept her composure on stage.

During her electrifying show on Friday, Feb. 9, Taylor faced a precarious situation while performing atop the folklore cabin setpiece. As the haunting melody of “The 1” filled the air, she navigated the roof with grace until a sudden slip threatened to send her tumbling. Swift’s lightning reflexes saved her from a potentially disastrous fall, and she swiftly regained her footing.
