A potential pianistic poltergeist seems to have made a surprise appearance, during a live show from one of pop’s biggest stars.
Credible electrical explanations to one side, it has not stopped the moment creating a social media storm over the last 24 hours.
American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift was performing a sold-out stadium double-header of shows in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The Saturday concert was enveloped by hours of heavy rain.
Though it was not enough to deter Taylor nor the fever of her fans, her piano clearly disapproved.
When she sat at the instrument during the following night’s show, the flower-adorned instrument began to malfunction, playing a droning pedal of very low C sharps.
“Do you hear that?! Is that happening for you, too?” she asked her audience.
“So it rained a lot last night, like a monsoon. Literally it was like a waterpark under the stage,” the singer added, as the piano resolutely sounded a series of low notes of its own accord.
It all called for some swiftly employed instrumental adaptation. “So this has clearly broken my piano,” Taylor said.
“I’m just gonna get the guitar. It’s gonna be fine,” she reassured her audience.
Guitars were unaffected by hauntings, and the concert proceeded piano-less.
