Pop sensation Taylor Swift recently took to Twitter to address her fans' concerns after they noticed a worrying injury on her left hand.
The 33-year-old star explained the origins of the injury, which happened during her performance in Houston, Texas, as part of her highly successful Eras Tour.
The hitmaker began her tweet by reminiscing about the incredible time she had in Houston, playing three sold-out shows: "Just got to play 3 insane shows in Houston and I’m waking up smiling reminiscing about how much fun we all had."
She then detailed the unfortunate incident that led to the nasty injury on her hand. During a rushed costume change backstage, Taylor accidentally tripped on her dress and fell in the dark: "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."
Despite the alarming injury, The Shake it Off singer maintained her light-hearted and optimistic demeanor, referencing her interest in astrology by mentioning Mercury in retrograde: "It was all very Mercury in retrograde coded. Don’t worry about me I’m gooooood."

Her concerned fans filled the comments section with relief and well-wishes. One Swifty wrote: "Girl stay safe WE LOVE YOUUUUU," while another commented: "Glad you're ok. We were all worried."
Taylor’s Eras Tour, which has been a massive success so far, shows no signs of slowing down. With three more performances scheduled in Atlanta, Georgia, the 12-time Grammy winner remains focused on her music and the connection she shares with her loyal followers.
The Eras Tour has been a massive pop culture moment in 2023, grossing $591 million in ticket revenue and dominating social media feeds.
With over 69,000 fans attending the kick-off show, it became the most-attended U.S. concert by a female performer.

Rumors about Joe’s potential rebound surfaced when he was spotted with his co-star Emma Laird over the weekend.
Despite the seemingly peaceful nature of their breakup, Taylor's inner circle appears to be less forgiving.
In the weeks since, many of Taylor's close friends and collaborators have unfollowed Joe, 32, including Ryan, the Haim sisters, Taylor's brother Austin, and childhood friend Ashley. Others that have reportedly unfollowed Joe include Lily Aldridge and Lana Del Rey.

The pair met after being introduced by mutual friends in 2016, and made their first public appearance at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards. ".
