Taylor Swift needed some help at her Dublin concert when she got too high ... and, we mean that literally because a platform malfunctioned and left her momentarily stranded in the air.

The singer-songwriter was jamming away to her track "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" from atop a raised platform Saturday at Aviva Stadium which was supposed to come down ... but, it didn't and left Taylor looking for a way off.

Check out the clip -- Taylor's sorta standing around before sitting on the lip of the platform and looking like she might risk the jump.

Zach Bryan got in on the "Hawk Tuah" craze, bringing the now-famous 21-year-old on stage Saturday night during his concert.

Taylor Swift made an entire Irish venue swoon with pride Saturday night after telling them their country was the inspiration and imagery behind her album, "Folklore."

Taylor was performing at Dublin Aviva Stadium when she told the packed crowd, "'Folklore' in general, it just belongs to Ireland." She went on to explain how she began writing the album 2 days into the pandemic, and, "How I imagined the album world looking [was like] Ireland. Storytelling with lots of different characters. You guys have that on lock, too. That's very Irish, the storytelling."

She said she created a fantasy in her head to write the songs.. "... I had to create an album where the imaginary world that I pretended to go to every single day while I was writing it... I gotta be honest, kinda seemed like Ireland."

President Biden got a clear sign he should drop out of the race ... but not from his family or staff -- from a bi-plane.

Unclear if the Prez saw the sign. He was busy rubbing elbows with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan. Ticket prices were steep -- going for as much as $250k a pop.
