Taylor Swift: How She Handled a Stage Malfunction
The singer was stranded in mid-air during her DC show.
— -- After she surprised fans with a duet of "Royals" with pal Lorde during a sold-out show at Nationals Park in Washington D.C. on Monday night, Taylor Swift could hardly come down -- literally.
A piece of equipment that allowed the singer to rise above the stage seized, stranding Swift in mid-air.
"I'll just be here, forever, stuck up here, unless I choose to jump down," she joked to a sold-out crowd.
But the show must go on, so Swift chose to sing "Clean" from her persnickety perch before the glitch was fixed and she was returned to terra firma.
