However, this time the stunt did not go as planned, and yet the singer and songwriter managed to amaze Swifites by handling the situation with ease and humour.
Taylor Swift thanks the wrong opening act on Tampa leg of Eras Tour
The stunt is not the only time Taylor Swift faltered on stage. Previously, on day 1 of the Tampa concert, singers Beabadoobee and Gayle opened the show for the All Too Well singer. As Taylor came on stage for her performance, she thanked the opening acts for setting the tempo for the show.

In a video shared by Swifties, she can be heard saying, “We’re very lucky on the Eras Tour because we have fabulous opening acts on this tour. I’d like to call some attention to them. We start out the evening with the incredible, the elegant, the amazing, Gracie Abrams. Make some noise again for Gracie….” A video shared by fans from the concert features her mistake as well as her following apology.

Taylor Swift apologises to Gayle
However, it was pointed out to the singer that she made a big goof as she took Gracie Abrams's name instead of Gayle, who actually opened the show. Gracie was supposed to open the show for the singer on the following day. When she realised her mistake, Taylor took the stage to apologise and said, “So tonight is the 13th is usually my lucky number, but tonight it’s also the exact number of brain cells I have, because earlier I told you that Gracie Abrams opened but that is not correct. That is absolutely not correct.”
Taylor added, “Gayle opened the show and she was phenomenal, and I feel so awful that I’m going to get both Gracie and Gayle and also Beabadoobee because she had to bear witness to this, lots of presents. I feel terrible and I love Gayle, she’s a fellow Nashville girl and she’s such a legit singer-songwriter. Can you please give it up for Gayle? I’m so sorry Gayle, I love you!”
