The singer described one moment that it all went wrong during a show
Taylor Swift: The End of an Era teased in Disney+ trailer
The singer Taylor Swift has recalled suffering a horrific injury during her ambitious Eras Tour that left her skin ‘flapping off’.
Her admission came during the latest episode of her new doc-series releasing on Disney Plus. The End of an Era is a 6-episode documentary series chronicling the creation, influence, and behind-the-scenes workings of the mega-popular artist’s The Eras Tour.
It offers an intimate glimpse into Taylor’s world as her tour dominated headlines and delighted supporters globally. Two episodes have been releasing weekly starting with last week’s double premiere.
Fans have already been treated to plenty of behind the scenes secrets, including emotional moments. They include the singer rewarding her team with bonus payments for their efforts. Also the pop star broke her silence regarding the tragic Southport attacks for the first time.
Unsurprisingly, the series has proven to be a huge hit with fans. Taylor has even given them an early Christmas gift as it was recently revealed that the two final episodes will now release earlier than originally planned, on December 23.
The latest episodes demonstrated the physical effort needed for Taylor and her team to pull off the Eras show. She is seen rehearsing extensively with plenty of time also spent working out in a personal gym so she can perform all the dances and moves to the best of her ability.

However, even with all this preparation, sometimes things don’t go quite as planned. Taylor reveals that she suffered a horrendous injury during a show in Texas back in April 2023.
During the show, she tripped and cut her hand open during a costume change. Explaining the incident, she says: “I remember I was running from the Evermore era, and I tripped over the hem of my dress. Bust my knee. I skid the palm of my hand off. Hobble into the quick-change room, blood’s coming down my hand.”
Somehow, she still managed to make her change, which is often timed to take as much as 39 seconds, and into the next item which happens to be her Reputation body suit. But she adds that a piece of her skin was “flapping off.”
She added: “I just pull it off. More blood. They don’t have a Band-Aid back there.” Recreating her movements, she proudly concludes: “Wasn’t late. Wasn’t late for the intro of that song.”
While the incident or injury was not publicly mentioned, it didn’t take long for Swifties to noticed. Taylor adds: “”The fans noticed it a couple of days later, they’re like, ‘Oh, her palm’s gone.’ I was like, ‘I am not acknowledging this. What? Nothing’s wrong, it’s always been like that.'”
