Taylor Swift stumbled on the stairs during her Eras Tour concert Friday night, giving the “Anti-Hero” singer a fright in front of more than 50,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome in Japan.

Video shared on social media showed Swift, 34, tripping slightly over her long dress as she descends several steps on her elevated “Folklore” cabin. 

But the pop star did not take a tumble — and she shook it off with a remark.

“My life flashed before my eyes,” she said onstage later. “It’s all good, everything’s fine, everything’s great. I’m just so happy that I didn’t fall.”

The singer also recently nearly wiped out during her sexy “Vigilante S–t” chair performance while in town.

Swift’s four shows in Tokyo, her first time performing in Japan since 2018, will pump an estimated $228 million into the nation’s economy, according to EconomicImpact.net.

Grammy Awards host Trevor Noah joked about Swift’s traveling dollar-sign effect at last Sunday’s ceremony in Los Angeles.

“As Taylor Swift moves through the room, the local economy around those tables improves,” Noah cracked.

At the Grammys, Swift made history. For her “Midnights,” she won Album of the Year for the fourth time, breaking the record for the most victories in the ceremony’s top category. Now in second place with three are Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.

She also took home the Grammy for Best Pop Album, beating the likes of Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo and Ed Sheeran.

When the “Look What You Made Me Do” singer wraps up her Tokyo run on Saturday, there won’t be any time for rest and relaxation.

She’ll make a quick-turnaround via a 12-hour flight to Las Vegas, Nevada, where her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, will compete in the Super Bowl LVIII with the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Thanks to the 17-hour time difference, she should land in Vegas on Saturday night.

In a humorous statement from the Japanese Embassy in the US, a spokesperson said, “Despite the 12-hour flight and 17-hour time difference, the Embassy can confidently ‘Speak Now’ to say that if she departs Tokyo in the evening after her concert, she should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins.”
