In afan-captured videoof the incident, the “Cruel Summer” singer could be seen running —swiftly— from the stage when she seemingly realized that the trapdoor had malfunctioned.
Clad in a sparkly, asymmetrical jumpsuit, Swift then sped past her backup dancers as they exited the stage through a side door.
Despite the treacherous trapdoor, the12-time Grammy winner penneda sweet shout-outto the Ohio city on Sunday.
“Cincinnati, I couldn’t love you more,” she wrote on Twitter. “Had the best two nights with you!!”
Swift wrote that her second Cincinnati show was extra special because of her surprise performances withEras Tour openerGracie Abrams andAaron Dessnerof The National, who collaborated with Swift on her albumsFolkloreandEvermore.
“Last night was so special getting to sing ‘I miss you, I’m sorry’ with @gracieabrams in the acoustic set and bringing out @aaron_dessner to play ‘Ivy’ in his hometown. 🥹,” Swift wrote. “See you soon, Kansas City.”
She continued, “Meanwhile I’ll be counting down the minutes tilSpeak Now(my version) comes out July 7 WHICH IS VERY SOON.”

At an earlier Eras Tour show in Minneapolis, Swiftasked her fans to practice kindness onlineahead of the July 7 release ofSpeak Now (Taylor’s Version).
“I was hoping to ask you that, as we lead up to this album, I would love for that kindness and that gentleness to extend onto our internet activities. Right?” she told the crowd. “So what I’m trying to say is, I’m putting this album out because I want to own my music and I believe that [those] who have the desire to own their music should be able to. That’s why I’m putting out this album.”
She continued, “I’m 33 years old. I don’t care about anything that happened to me when I was 19 except the songs I wrote. So what I’m trying to tell you is that I am not putting this album out so you should feel the need to defend me on the internet against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago.”
