INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — The American leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is nearing its conclusion, but she showed no signs of slowing down during her performance in Indianapolis on November 2, even in the face of a technical glitch.
While singing “Lavender Haze” at Lucas Oil Stadium, the 34-year-old artist experienced a mic pack malfunction. “I just need a new wireless pack because this one is out of battery,” she told the audience between verses, as captured in social media clips.
Despite the hiccup, Swift kept the show going as a stagehand rushed on stage to replace her mic pack. Throughout the brief interruption, she maintained her rhythm, tapping her feet to the music.
This concert, her first of three in Indiana, marks her final stop in the U.S. for the Eras Tour. To celebrate, she introduced two new mashups during her acoustic set: “The Albatross” x “Holy Ground” and “Cold as You” x “Exile.”
Although Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was unable to attend due to his commitments with the Kansas City Chiefs, several other celebrities were in the crowd, including Caitlin Clark, Darius Rucker, and Chariah Gordon. Kelce’s family showed their support at a concert in Miami last month, with his mother, Donna Kelce, brother, Jason Kelce, sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, and nieces Wyatt, 5, and Elliotte, 3, in attendance.
Jason Kelce previously praised Swift’s performance after attending her show in London in June. “It was insanely impressive,” he said on the June 26 episode of the “New Heights” podcast. “Taylor’s an amazing singer-songwriter, but then to be able to perform at that level… Dude, if I did what she did for one song, I would have to change my clothes.”
He highlighted a particularly emotional moment when Swift gave her hat to a young fan while singing “22.” “I’ve never cried at a concert, and I was literally tearing up watching those little girls,” he recalled.
Jason also expressed his admiration for not only Swift’s remarkable performance but also the electric atmosphere created by her fans. “It was an awesome experience; the Swifties make it very memorable,” he noted. “Everyone’s so into it, singing all the songs. There are only two concerts I’ve seen that have felt like this—hers and the first time I saw Bruce Springsteen live. Both have that insane fandom where everyone knows all the songs.”
