Earlier that week, Taylor had performed a three and a half-hour show at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, battling through pouring rain. The relentless downpour took a toll on her instruments, especially the piano. Taylor humorously recounted the effects of the rain on her performance, likening her pruned fingers to being in a bath for too long. She explained, “Another thing that has happened is that [the water] has clearly broken my keyboard because [the keyboard] was literally underwater, so this is broken.”

Undeterred by the technical hiccup, Taylor assured the audience, “I’m just going to do another song on guitar, that’s insane.” Despite the unexpected twist, Taylor’s commitment to her fans prevailed, and she seamlessly continued the show, guitar in hand.

In a post-show tweet, Taylor expressed gratitude to the dedicated crowd, acknowledging the challenging weather conditions. However, a few days later, the relentless rain took a toll on Taylor’s health as she had to cancel four shows due to bronchitis, marking a rare instance in her career.

Despite the unexpected challenges, Taylor Swift’s Eras tour continues to captivate audiences, showcasing not only her musical prowess but also her ability to handle the unexpected with grace and humor. The show must go on, even if that means dealing with a “haunted” piano and a downpour of rain.
