Service disruptions are an on a regular basis hazard on the MBTA, as common commuters know “All Too Nicely.”

However after a truck crash briefly halted service on the MBTA Commuter Rail’s Foxboro Line days earlier than Taylor Swift’s extremely anticipated Gillette Stadium concert events, Swifties had been briefly seeing “Crimson.”

In spite of everything, practice tickets to “The Eras Tour” exhibits bought out inside a couple of minutes earlier this month as hundreds of concertgoers scrambled for a journey. 

The response on Twitter was, effectively, swift.

“Higher get it up and operating by this weekend, lest ye need to incur the wrath of a swarm of offended Swifties…” tweeted @JimLahey405.

“do u guys know that the eras tour is in a few days,” wrote @_julesssssss.

Whereas trains to and from Foxboro had been cancelled by way of the top of Monday, it seems the MBTA was in a position to “Shake It Off,” getting common service again up and operating by Tuesday morning. 

“This is not going to impression the Taylor Swift Live performance Trains,” a Keolis spokesperson confirmed to Boston.com in an e mail.

In accordance with MBTA Transit Police, Monday’s collision occurred round 10 a.m. on the East Road railroad bridge in Dedham, when a truck hauling a container struck the low-clearance bridge and broken it. 

There have been no accidents, and transit police cited the truck driver for motorcar offenses.
