Fans Also Had A Few Stories To Share With Slater On Social Media
She then showed a gruesome object to the camera. She shared, “Do you know what this is? This is my toenail. It’s not a fake toenail. This is my actual toenail.”
Slater then began to detail what happened. As she explained, “I had to peel that off just now because it was flip-flopping like a cat door.” She noted, “You can imagine what my toe looks like without this being on it. It’s not cute.”
Of course, Slater is a pro and is used to the less glamorous aspects when it comes to hitting the stage. With Slater’s share on social media, fans have also been expressing words of comfort to her.

- “Oh no! This just happened to me while we were at @waltdisneyworld. I had never lost one before and it was gross!”
- “Emma, I felt that pain through the screen. I once lost a toenail too, and walking around like nothing happened was a whole struggle. But honestly, your hair looks so beautiful, and that bracelet is such a cute touch!”
- “I noticed you had tape on them the other day. I was wondering if your shoes had been rubbing. I’ve never lost one from dancing (but I don’t dance near as much as you.)”
- “OMG! You never mentioned it! I would have been showing everyone.”
