Taylor Swift's dancers are quick on their feet!

During her Eras Tour stop in Miami on Friday, Oct. 18, Swift, 34, experienced a malfunction with her microphone pack as she was performing her The Tortured Poets Department track "But Daddy I Love Him."

In a video shared on TikTok, Swift could be seen touching the back of her custom Vivienne Westwood gown, before her dancers unzipped the attire to help her out and allow her to continue her performance.

Teen Vogue previously reported that Swift's Vivienne Westwood look, which she wears during the The Tortured Poets Department segment of her concerts, features a sleeveless ball gown silhouette with a corseted bodice and a peekaboo skirt.

A lyric from "Fortnight" is written repeatedly across the dress in black cursive handwriting, and Swift wears a black bodysuit underneath to help her make a quick change into her circus-inspired outfit for her track "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart."

Also on Friday night, the "Karma" singer debuted another new costume which immediately had fans theorizing that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) could be on the way. The 14-time Grammy winner emerged in a new Roberto Cavalli catsuit during the Reputation-era portion of her show.

The one-legged suit featured intertwining snakes — this time in gold rather than red, per concert photos. Bodysuits were a favorite look for Swift throughout her Reputation Stadium Tour. Additionally, on the back of the new catsuit, one snake made the shape of the number two, leading fans to speculate that Reputation — which heavily made use of snake imagery — could be coming soon.
