The singer's "Reputation" tour date hit an awkward pause Saturday night.

It may be time to do a recall on all floating stages. After Beyoncé found herself briefly stranded on an elevated platform at show on her On The Run II tour a few weeks back, Taylor Swift has suffered a similar fate at her concert in Philadelphia Saturday night.

Things didn't seem all that out of the ordinary as Taylor Swift floated up in a glowing cage as she performed her Reputation single "Delicate," but it became clear to fans that something was not quite right when Taylor playfully blurted out "I think I'm stuck up here!" mid-song. By the end of the track, Swift had been lowered to the ground, where she explained that she was meant to be carried all the way to the other side of the stadium by the "sparkly basket."

After awkwardly "chillin' waiting to figure out what happens next," discussing options with her stage crew and cracking some jokes, Swift eventually boarded another cage which took the singer where she needed to go. You can watch some footage of the whole ordeal via TMZ above.

Taylor is currently on her Reputation tour with Camila Cabello and Charli XCX, who as far as we know, have not found themselves stuck in sparkly baskets just yet. At this point, it seems to be a rite of passage as a pop star, so we're sure it will happen soon enough.
