Swifties have a hilarious new nickname for their favorite pop star after spotting what appears to have been a momentary return of Taylor Swift’s “Errors Tour.”

In the time since the “Anti-Hero” songstress launched her hit Eras Tour in March 2023, fans have teasingly played on the tour’s name while referring to the moments when things have gone wrong onstage, which they say are part of her “Errors Tour.” Wardrobe malfunctions, technical difficulties and near falls have all been carefully documented by Swift’s dedicated fanbase. A recent incident on Friday, June 7 at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, Scotland, now appears poised to join the growing compilation of “Errors Tour” moments.

In video clips shared by fans on X, formerly Twitter, Swift was in the middle of a performance of “Wildest Dreams,” a song from her 2014 album 1989, when she seemed to notice that she was off her mark onstage. A portion of the stage began to lift a couple of paces away from where Swift, 34, was standing. She noticed right away and took one step closer to the stage, which was quickly rising. Without missing a beat, she took the giant step up without losing her balance to get herself back to where she needed to be.

One fan who shared a video of the moment online noted that Swift was “in the wrong place when the stage started moving.” Others who commented on the video noted the “Cruel Summer” singer’s professionalism as she addressed the issue without panicking.

“Handled it like the pro she is,” one fan applauded as another said she “literally got there just in time.”

“Nice recovery though. :),” one fan wrote as another said she’d made it onto the rising portion of the stage “in the last second.”

Other fans cracked jokes about Swift’s height, with one person imagining that the 14-time Grammy Award winner “was like ‘big step’” before putting herself into position.

“Those legs understood the assignment!!!” one fan tweeted.

“Her long legs are doing their job,” another said.

“GOOD THING SHE GOT THOSE MOMMY LONG LEGS,” one fan joked.

One person wondered if the lighting during the performance had anything to do with the mishap. “She’s probably not used to it being day time,” they tweeted. “Can’t see the lit up stage.”

Others were simply happy to relish another moment of the ongoing “Errors Tour.”

“I love The Errors Tour,” one fan tweeted.
