Taylor Swift kept her cool during a mechanical problem at her Dublin concert Saturday night.
The 30-year-old superstar, who told the sold-out crowd at the Aviva Stadium that her album Folklore was inspired by the Emerald Isle, continued to wow the crowd as she maintained her composure while dealing with an unforeseen incident on stage.
The hitmaker was singing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived atop a raised platform when something went wrong.
The elevator would not go down and the singer was trapped.
The Grammy winner, who wore a white dress with black lettering under a large white military-style jacket, knelt on the platform and one of her dancers, identified as Jan by a fan, quickly approached and helped her down before to walk away silently.

The 30-year-old superstar was singing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived atop a raised platform when something went wrong. The platform would not lower and Swift was trapped.
A more serious incident took place during the Friday night show.
The eagle-eyed singer noticed some fans struggling with what turned out to be dehydration near the front of the stage and alerted security.
“We need help there,” he said while singing Lavender Haze.
‘I see you have it. Excellent. Everyone who works in this stadium is incredible,’ he stated before finishing the number.
Swift performed The Albatross from her new album The Tortured Poets Department for the first time for a Dublin audience.
It was part of the surprise song segment that fans are looking forward to and she paired it with Dancing With Our Hands Tied from the Reputation album.
“I wait for (the acoustic set) all night because this is the part of the show that keeps me on my toes,” he told the audience, before playing the tune on his guitar.
As of Sunday, the new album has remained atop the Billboard 200 chart for 10 straight weeks.
The Grammy winner knelt on the platform and one of her dancers, identified as Jan by a fan, quickly came to her aid.
Swift approached the dancer, who quickly put his arm around her waist and gently placed her on the floor. She then walked away in silence as the artist continued singing.
Swift performed The Albatross from her new album The Tortured Poets Department for the first time for the Dublin audience. The album has been at the top of the Billboard 200 for 10 weeks in a row and if it stays at the top for one more week, it will equal the success of 1999 and Fearless.
This achievement places her among a select group that includes the late Whitney Houston and Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Morgan Wallen.
She is the only artist with three albums to spend at least 10 weeks at number one this century, and is the first woman to achieve this feat since Adele’s 2012 release, 21.
If TTPD’s success continues, the hitmaker will equal the achievements of albums 1999 and Fearless, which spent 11 weeks at number one.
After Sunday’s show, Swift will rest for a few days before taking the stage on July 4 in Amsterdam, where she will play three nights in a row.
