The clip then replayed the moment in slow motion, showing Kameron walking behind Taylor while wearing a tuxedo before slipping and quickly getting back up to continue the performance.
‘You see how I didn’t trip boss lady when I ate s*** last night?… Veryyyy MINDFUL veryyyy Demure,’ Kameron wrote.
The dancer, who danced backup for Lizzo before he got his Eras Tour gig, confirmed he is not injured following the slip.
He continued: ‘I saw all of your kind, “he’s such a professional. Jumped right back into the choreography” comments.
‘I’m fine. Promise. Just a bit of an ego check falling in front of 92,000 people! BUT this deserved a laugh. Enjoy! #Mindful.’
Fans quickly took to the comments of the lighthearted video including the Lover singer’s boyfriend Travis Kelce, who liked the post.
The Kansas Chief’s player wasn’t at the London show on Friday, but his support for Kameron was evident through his online interaction.
Kameron and Travis have a distant connection other than Taylor as the dancer is the brother of Travis’ former Kansas City Chiefs teammate Khalen Saunders.

Taylor Swift gives Travis Kelce his Eras Tour debut in London
Kameron has been a huge hit throughout the Eras Tour as he has his own solo routine during the song ‘Bejewelled’ as well as having the only speaking line in the entire of Taylor’s show – during We Are Never Getting Back Together he says ‘like ever’ in the local city’s language.
During Taylor’s previous stop in London during the Eras Toru in June, Travis joined Kameron and the pop sensation on stage.
Taking to 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 tux that included a white bow tie, tailcoat and top hat, as he carried his popstar girlfriend in front of the sold-out crowd.
And after yet another memorable night, Kameron shared a post on Instagram in which he said he had the ‘time of (sic) his life being an absolute HAM’ with Travis on stage.
‘This was such a full circle moment for me. I have been to countless Chiefs games with my family over the years to support my baby brother,’ he added.
‘Three of those 4 years he was with the Chiefs we went to the Super Bowl and won twice… ABSOLUTE LEGACY!!! And now for you and I to share the biggest stage in the world with boss lady… full circle! The Saunders family loves you, Trav! (Including our mom LMAO) thank you for your heart and kindness and goofiness.’
Touched by Kameron’s show of affection for him out in public, the three-time Super Bowl champion called Kam and his brother, Khalen, who used to play with Travis on the Chiefs but is now on the New Orleans Saints, ‘my favorites.’
He added: ‘From winning super bowls with Sir Bink @khalennotkaylen to having fun bringing Tay back to life on the stage with you the other night… and even hanging with Mama Saunders, cheering you on in Australia! More memories to come!’
