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. Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

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. Thankfully, one of her dancers -- clad in a matching all-white ensemble -- comes to her rescue to get her down ..

. so, no risk of a sprained ankle here. And, we gotta say he does it with a certain flourish that helps smooth the miscue over.

It's certainly an "Eras" tour error ...

proving Taylor's show isn't polished as smoothly as other artists -- looking at you, Dave Grohl -- would have ya think. Remember ..

. just last week the two had dueling concerts in London -- and, Dave implied Taylor doesn't even sing her songs live . His claims sent some Swifties into a frenzy.

T-Swift's performing her third show in Dublin tonight -- a place she says inspired her album "Folklore" ...

she'll then head to Amsterdam for a series of shows next weekend. Hopefully, no more mechanical malfunctions leave her stranded!.
