Taylor Swift's iconic dancer speaks about falling incident during her Wembley Eras Tour show and gets recognition from boyfriend Travis Kelce

Taylor Swift's legendary backing dancer Kameron Saunders took to Instagram on Sunday to discuss his recent fall on stage during her Wembley Eras Tour performance.

The St. Louis dancer slipped and fell during her August 16 concert in front of 96,000 fans while performing her hit “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” from her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

Kameron seemed to handle the situation with grace as he hurried to continue his routine while holding a large white feather fan.

Since then, he has jokingly referred to fall on social media as “modest,” a playful reference to a viral TikTok trend in which users show off their routines in a “modest” way.

When I shared the video of the fall, it began with a still image of him on the ground, accompanied by a voice-over saying, “You're probably wondering how I got into this situation…”

The clip then loops the moment in slow motion, showing Kameron running after Taylor in his tuxedo before slipping and quickly getting back up to continue the performance.

“See how I didn't trip the boss when I ate shit last night?…VeryaaaATENT, veryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,” Kameron wrote.

The dancer, who worked as a background dancer for Lizzo before he got his gig on the Eras tour, confirmed that he was not injured after the slip.

He continued: “I saw all your kind comments: 'He's such a pro. He jumped right back into the choreography.'”

“I'm fine. I promise. It was just a little ego check standing in front of 92,000 people! BUT this deserves a laugh. Have fun! #Mindful.”

Fans were quick to comment on the cheerful video, including the “Lover” singer’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who liked the post.

The Kansas Chiefs player was not at the show in London on Friday, but his support for Kameron was evident through his online interactions.

Kameron and Travis have a distant connection aside from Taylor, as the dancer is the brother of Travis' former teammate on the Kansas City Chiefs, Khalen Saunders.

Kameron was a huge hit throughout the Eras Tour as he has his own solo routine during the song “Bejewelled” and also has the only speaking line in Taylor’s entire show.

Kameron was a huge hit throughout the Eras tour, as he has his own solo routine during the song “Bejewelled” and also has the only speaking line in Taylor’s entire show – during “We Are Never Getting Back Together” he says “as always” in the language of that city.

During Taylor's previous stop in London for Eras Toru in June, Travis performed on stage with Kameron and the pop sensation.

When they took the stage for the interlude between Taylor's performance of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” and “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart,” Travis and Kameron “brought Taylor back to life.”

Travis wore an old-school tuxedo consisting of a white bow tie, tailcoat and top hat as he carried his pop star girlfriend in front of the sold-out crowd.

And after another unforgettable evening, Kameron posted on Instagram saying he had “the time of his life being an absolute joker with Travis on stage.”

“It was a full-circle moment for me. I've been to countless Chiefs games with my family over the years to support my little brother,” he added.

“Three of those four years he was with the Chiefs, we went to the Super Bowl and won twice… ABSOLUTE LEGACY!!! And now you and I share the biggest stage in the world with the Chiefs… we've come full circle! The Saunders family loves you Trav! (Including our mom LMAO) Thank you for your heart, your kindness, and your silliness.”

The three-time Super Bowl champion was touched by Kameron's public display of affection, calling Kam and his brother Khalen, who used to play with Travis on the Chiefs and is now with the New Orleans Saints, “my favorites.”

He added: “From winning the Super Bowl with Sir Bink @khalennotkaylen to the fun we had reliving on stage with Tay with you the other day… and even hanging out with Mama Saunders cheering you on in Australia! More memories to come!”
