RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL: During Taylor Swift's Eras Tour at the Estádio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro on November 20, a single fan out of the thousands in attendance received an unexpected souvenir.

The 33-year-old pop star had to pause after one of the heels of her Christian Louboutin boots broke on stage. According to clips circulating on social media, Swift removed the heel and threw it into the crowd. And it apparently landed on one lucky person's hand.

After the concert, a fan who obtained the broken heel posted the exclusive picture on social media.

The heels broke in the middle of her 'Lover' setlist performance. The camera instantly caught the hilarious moment.

Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Swift did her best Margot Robbie 'Barbie' impersonation. Photos and videos from the last concert in Rio show the singer standing with a perfectly arched foot with only one heel while giving the introduction to the tour before singing 'Lover.'



 

The classic Louboutin red sole was completely missing from her sparkling knee-high boots while performing the man from the 'Lover' set.

It is not clear how the heel broke. However, the 'You Belong With Me' singer handled it like a pro.

The November 20 show was initially scheduled for November 18 but was postponed due to the extreme heatwave in Rio. According to USA Today, the death of a 23-year-old fan, Ana Clara Benevides Machado, before the first show in the city forced the team to postpone it.

Swift has concluded the Rio shows of her record-breaking Eras Tour and will move to Brazil's São Paulo, where she has three shows from November 24 to 26 at Allianz Parque stadium.

Fans are envious of the lucky fan who got the heel

Getting a souvenir from their pop icon is a dream of many Swifties. And now they are jealous of that one person who caught Swift's broken heel among the thousands of audience.
