The short video I saw looked like a possible stack fire after landing, as she was taxiing back to the ramp after her display, but that is entirely conjectural. The crash truck pulled up quick, fire extinguishers were deployed and the aircraft was towed back to the ramp with someone in the cockpit, she did not look any worse for the wear. I guess we have to wait for a more detailed maintenance report.
