Singer Taylor Swift might have suffered a hand injury during her Eras Tour, but she assured her fans that she is good to keep performing!
On Monday, the 33-year-old singer took to social media to assure fans that she is all right after the "Delicate" singer was seen with a gash on her hand while performing.
Taylor Swift Assures Fans That She Is 'Totally Fine' After Suffering Hand Injury During The Eras Tour

Loving this tour so much because of the passion these crowds put into it all - seriously can’t wait for Atlanta ☺️ PS for those asking how I cut my hand, I’m totally… pic.twitter.com/j3MK7twzdc

On Monday, the "Lavender Haze" singer shared a few photos that featured her performing in Houston, Texas, making sure to credit her photographer as Bob Levey. Her hand injury is not even visible as she strums on her guitar, sings into a microphone, and dances around in a sparkling gold dress and matching boots.
Taylor assured her fans that she is "waking up smiling" even despite ending her six-year relationship with actor Joe Alwyn earlier this year. "Just got to play 3 insane shows in Houston and I’m waking up smiling reminiscing about how much fun we all had," she wrote in Monday's tweet. "Loving this tour so much because of the passion these crowds put into it all - seriously can’t wait for Atlanta."
"PS for those asking how I cut my hand, I’m totally fine and it was my fault completely - tripped on my dress hem and fell in the dark backstage while running to a quick change - braced my fall with my palm," she explained. "It was all very Mercury in retrograde coded. Don’t worry about me I’m gooooood."
Does The 6 O's In 'Gooooood' Mean That Reputation Is The Next Album To Be Released?

Fans were quick to say that they were glad she was all right, but other fans couldn’t help but count that Taylor wrote “o” six times in “good.”
The "Anti-Hero" singer has been re-releasing her past studio albums, which led some fans to speculate that her sixth studio album, “Reputation,” which was released in 2017, is the next to be released.
...Or Is Speak Now (Taylor's Version) The Next Re-Released Album?
the word good already has 2 letters O
so, as it has 6, 6÷2=3
it's speak now— camila (@repdesert) April 24, 2023
However, other Swifties felt that the math didn't quite add up, since fans had expected either Speak Now (Taylor's Version) or 1989 (Taylor's Version) dropped next.
One fan literally did the math, writing, "The word good already has 2 letters O so, as it has 6, 6÷2=3." That would mean that Taylor's third studio album, Speak Now, would be the next to have a re-release.
There is no word about when Taylor is going to drop her new album, as she is very focused on her Eras Tour right now, but Swifties have their eyes peeled for any Easter eggs that will give them a clue!
Taylor Swift Suffered A Wardrobe Malfunction On Stage Days Before Hand Injury
As The Blast previous reported, the "Wildest Dreams" singer suffered a wardrobe malfunction while performing at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. While performing "Lavender Haze," her garter broke and was not fixed until she got two of her background singers to help her sort it out during her performance of "Anti-Hero."
A fan account captured a fifteen-second snippet of the wardrobe malfunction and posted it on TikTok. In the video, two of her background singers can be seen trying to remove the belt from her leg, although it looks like they have some trouble doing so.
Regardless, the "Shake It Off" singer is a true pro and didn't stop performing, especially during the lyrics, "I end up in crisis" as she threw her arms up in the air and resumed performing the song with a smile. The singer is performing several tracks from her tenth studio album, Midnights, on her tour, including "Bejeweled," "Vigilante S---" and "Karma."
