Taylor Swift showed just how dedicated she is to her fans after she was forced to sprint across the stage in the middle of her show following a hilarious mishap.

The 33-year-old singer was performing at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, as part of her Eras Tour when the stage malfunction happened.

Taylor was waiting for a secret trap door to open and lower her to the backstage area for a quick outfit change. However, she was left waiting when the panel failed to activate.

The pop superstar took immediate action and decided to make a run for it to the back of the stage.

The funny moment was caught on camera and shared on TikTok.

In the clip, Taylor could be seen walking before realising she needed to speed things up as she then burst past her backing dancers.

As soon as the singer started running, the trap door opened behind her.

Taylor looked stunning during the performance as she was dressed in a one-legged black bodysuit which had red sequin embellishments.

Fans went wild for the hilarious clip, with one person joking: "I love the errors tour."

Another said: "This gets funnier the more you watch it," while a third viewer added: ""I love how she first goes for a strut and then realized she has to full blown sprint."

"The way it opened the SECOND she stepped off," someone else said, adding a crying face emoji.

Another fan wrote: "Imagine being the people under the stage waiting to help her quick change and the platform comes down and she's just vanished."

Taylor is predicted to break records with her Eras Tour, with reports suggesting she could gross "more than $1 billion (£786,999,000" from the sold-out shows.

This is a threshold which "no artist has ever hit".

So far, she has already grossed $300 million (£236,099,700), according to Pollstar.
