When it comes to stage mishaps, Taylor Swift and her team are pros at handling them smoothly!

During her second Eras Tour concert in Dublin on Saturday, June 29, Swift, 34, found herself stuck on a raised platform — but one of her dancers quickly came to her aid.

While performing “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” part of the Tortured Poets Department section of her setlist, the pop star was left stranded midair at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium when the platform failed to retract as planned.

Instead of disappearing into the stage like the platform holding her backup dancer, Jan Ravnik, Swift's platform remained stuck, as shown in fan-captured footage.

However, true professionals, Swift and Ravnik handled the technical glitch without missing a beat.

Ravnik promptly walked over to Swift’s platform as soon as his own reached the ground and helped her down effortlessly, as she smiled at him, another video of the performance reveals.

Once on solid ground, Swift and Ravnik seamlessly returned to their routine, getting back into formation before the bridge of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived,” where a group of dancers emerged for a marching band-inspired choreography.
