Taylor Swift's microphone on The Eras Tour stopped working, so she screamed into it and tried hitting it like it was a broken TV remote in front of 60,000 people

• Taylor Swift's microphone malfunctioned during one of her Eras Tour shows on Sunday.

• Swift tried to get it to work by screaming into it and hitting it repeatedly.

• Eventually, someone came to her aid with a new mic so she could continue with her set.

Even Taylor Swift isn't immune to technical difficulties.

On Sunday, Swift took the stage at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois, as part of the US leg of her Eras Tour.

While performing during the "Lover" segment of the show, her blue-and-pink microphone stopped working. She then proceeded to scream into it to see if the audience could hear her.

Most concertgoers were met with silence, but some of the lucky few in the front rows could hear her shouting, "Hello!"

When that didn't work, she started hitting it in her hands as if it were a TV remote that was running low on batteries.

The crowd began chanting her name as she smiled and kept trying to figure out what was wrong.

Finally, a crew member appeared with a backup mic and Swift was able to continue on with her show.

Later on in the show, Swift faced another unfortunate situation when she accidentally swallowed a bug.

As Insider's Eve Crosbie previously reported, the moment came just as Swift was about to sing "Tolerate It," the fifth track off her pandemic-era album "Evermore."

"I'm totally fine. It's just so stupid," she said as she tried coughing up the insect. She then poked fun at the incident by saying, "Oh, delicious," followed by, "Is there any chance none of you saw that?"

However, the night got a lot better from there for the concertgoers, as Swift surprised the crowd with back-to-back live debuts of two exceptional breakup songs, "Hits Different" and "The Moment I Knew."

Swift's Eras Tour will continue on to Detroit, Michigan, on Friday.
