Taylor Swift had already faced a wardrobe mishap in 2023

During her concert in Rio de Janeiro in November 2023, Taylor Swift experienced a wardrobe mishap when the heel of her silver Christian Louboutin boots broke during the opening section of the show dedicated to her album 'Lover.'

According to People, fan footage captured Swift bending down, removing the broken heel of her sparkly shoe, and tossing it into the crowd.

An X-post from Pop Crave revealed that a fortunate fan managed to catch the detached heel.

Undeterred by the setback, the 'Cruel Summer' singer maintained her composure and continued the concert, skillfully balancing on her toes as she performed tracks from her 2019 album.

In April 2023, during a performance of her song 'Lavender Haze' in Tampa, Florida, Swift encountered another wardrobe malfunction when her garter broke.

A TikTok video shared by a fan account captured Swift's reaction as she approached her background singers, lifting the hem of her sequined Oscar de la Renta T-shirt dress to reveal the snapped belt around her leg.

Demonstrating her professionalism, Swift seamlessly continued the song while her singers assisted in removing the garter from the dress.

Remarkably, the malfunction occurred during a poignant moment in the song, coinciding with the lyric, "I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)." Swift remained true to form.
