Taylor Swift, while singing her track 'But Daddy I Love Him' from her latest album 'The Tortured Poets Department', wore a custom white Vivienne Westwood gown, adorned with black lettering, which unzipped mid-performance.
The Miami Herald reported that the unzipping took place as Swift began singing the song.
Swift’s backup dancers quickly rushed to her aid, fixing the zipper in real-time, allowing the show to continue smoothly. The moment was captured by fans, with videos of the quick fix circulating online.
The gown, which debuted during her Paris shows, is a sleeveless design with a corseted bodice and an asymmetric skirt. The dress features lyrics from her song 'Fortnight' written across it in block letters, including the phrase, "I love you, it’s ruining my life."
