During Taylor Swift’s concert in London on Friday, August 16, her backup dancer Kam Saunders slipped on stage while the track “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” played — a fitting backdrop for what happened next.
Caught in the act by fans and now viral on X (formerly Twitter), the 32-year-old iconic choreographer didn’t miss a beat. He was quick to rise, seamlessly rejoining the dance routine as if nothing had occurred — a professional recovery that didn’t go unnoticed.

Fans online celebrated his swift comeback with admiration and a bit of humor.
“CAUSE HE CAN DO IT WITH SOME BROKEN LEGS,” joked one fan, playing on the song’s title in response to his fall.
“SAFE!!! 🤣 that was a smooth slide got back up like nothing happened 💪,” another person cheered.
“Very demure in his recovery,” pointed out a third.
One person wondered aloud about the Grammy winner’s awareness during such unexpected moments. “When things like this happen I always wonder if Taylor knows something’s up/he’s not where he needs to be, or if she’s too in the zone to realize 😂,” they mused
This London show was part of a significant week for Swift, 34. who just a day before reflected on the emotional gravity of performing at Wembley Stadium. Overwhelmed by the sight of 92,000 fans, the beloved pop sensation shared her awe and gratitude: “The first time I saw this crowd when I came out from backstage … my whole mind went blank … [It was a] love system overload,” she said. “I can’t believe that 92,000 people are being this loving and caring and generous to us all at once. It’s just wonderful what you do for us … All of us are going to miss it so much when we don’t get to do it anymore. Feelings and emotions that I didn’t think about before talking about in front of 92,000 people.”
The Eras Tour concludes with a final performance on Sunday, December 8 at Vancouver’s BC Arena.
