Taylor Swift Shakes Off Stage Malfunction During DC Gig

ABC/Lou RoccoAfter she surprised fans with a duet of “Royals” with pal Lorde during a sold-out show at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. Monday night, Taylor Swift could hardly come down — literally: a piece of equipment that allowed the singer to rise above the stage seized, stranding Taylor in mid-air. 

“I’ll just be here, forever, stuck up here, unless I choose to jump down,” she joked to her sold-out crowd.

But the show must go on, so Taylor chose to sing “Clean” from her persnickety perch before the glitch was fixed and she was returned to terra firma.
