She joined forces with her 25-year-old pal for a duet version of her smashing hit single "Royals". Excited concertgoers then shared photos and videos of the performance on social media.

"They just told me in my ear that I might be stuck up here forever," Swift told the audience. "This thing is broken....I was just thinking about how I was singing a song about rain and it rained today... it's not that funny... We're just gonna have to rechoreograph the entire show. It's fine. Whatever. It's gonna be a unique show D.C.!"
The problem with the stage was fixed a few minutes later and Swift was able to continue the show. "I'm so happy, you guys!" she said. "I didn't know what I was going to do!"
