Taylor Swiftturned a technical failure into a special off-the-cuff moment with fans.
“I’m pretty sure I’m stuck up here,” she told the crowd at one point during the song. “It’s a nice view, though.”
After the song, Swift attempted to explain what happened.
“What you just saw was me going straight up and down in this sparkly basket,” she said. “It’s supposed to take me to the other side of the stadium.”
The Grammy winner contemplated what to do, at one point suggesting she could just walk across the arena.
Although Swift had an earpiece in, the only way she could communicate back to her team was to speak into her mic, letting the crowd in on every part of the unexpected moment.
“I have another flying thing across there, that works apparently. OR. Wait. So there’s people talking in my ear,” she said. “This is so boring for you, I’m sorry.”

Since it looked like no progress was being made, Swift took it upon herself to start singing some songs a cappella. She started off with “Our Song,” getting plenty of help from the audience.
Swift continued to improvise, breaking into “Wildest Dreams” sans backup music.
In addition to those unplanned sing-alongs, Philadelphia fans got another special treat: Swift’s band members sported Eagles jerseys throughout the show in honor of the Super Bowl champions.
