Taylor Swift is singing with her dress unʙuттoned — well, unzipped — in the midst of an unforeseen technical issue.

In the middle of her Friday, November 22, concert at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, Swift, 34, appeared to have a technical issue during her Tortured Poets Department set. As Swift sang “But Daddy I Love Him,” she stoically stood in place while backup dancer Natalie Peterson seemed to adjust her mic pack in social media footage.

Fellow performer Kam Saunders, for his part, ᴀssisted Peterson by holding Swift’s dress in place.

Once the issue was sorted, Peterson zipped up the Vivienne Westwood gown and the pop star quipped, “Thanks, Nat!”

Friday was Swift’s fifth concert in Toronto, where she also delighted fans with an array of new acoustic mash-ups. Swift combined “Ours” and “The Last Great American Dynasty” for her guitar selection before launching into a three-part medley of “Cᴀssandra,” “Mad Woman” and “I Did Something Bad” on piano.

Swift has been on tour since March 2023, performing more than 40 songs across all of her current and past albums. She also has a surprise song section, where she rotates additional tracks each night.

“I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward and I don’t want to limit anything or say, ‘Oh, if I played this song, I can’t play it again,’” Swift previously explained during her Australian show in February. “So, from now on, I don’t want to take any paint colors out of the paintbox [or] tools out of the toolbox.”

She added at the time, “I want to be able to play songs more than once if I feel like it and I want to be able to make changes to songs.”

By this summer, Swift started introducing mash-ups to the setlist, where she seamlessly blended tracks from different albums together.

Thank You!

Swift will wrap the Eras Tour — which her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, exclusively told Us Weekly in May was “unbelievable” — for good on December 8. After a Saturday, November 23, concert in Toronto, Swift will hit Vancouver for a three-night residency.

“People have been like, ‘How are you going to celebrate the 100th show?’ The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December. Like, that’s it,” Swift previously said during her June concert in Liverpool, England. “[It’s been] the most exhausting, all-encompᴀssing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life.”

She continued, “I think that this tour has really become my entire life. It’s taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they were anymore. All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mash-ups and think about what you might want to hear.”
