Taylor Swift Swallows Bug Again While Singing, Asks Crowd for Help at 3rd London Eras Tour Show
Taylor Swift, the global pop sensation, faced an unexpected hiccup during her third Eras Tour show in London on June 23, 2024. While performing the 10-minute version of her hit song “All Too Well” at Wembley Stadium, the 34-year-old singer accidentally swallowed a bug.
As Swift sang the line, “And forget why I needed to,” she suddenly began coughing. In a moment of quick thinking, she turned to the crowd and said, “I swallowed a bug, can you sing?” The audience, ever supportive, took over the singing as Swift composed herself. This incident, captured on video by TikTok user alexaelizabethh, marks the second time Swift has swallowed a bug during this tour. The first occurrence was in Chicago last December, where she humorously asked the crowd if anyone had noticed and joked that the bug was “delicious.”
Despite the minor mishap, Swift continued her performance with her usual grace and professionalism. The show must go on, and Swift proved once again that she can handle unexpected challenges with poise.
The bug incident wasn’t the only surprise of the night. During her “Tortured Poets Department” set, Swift’s boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, made a surprise appearance. Kelce joined her dancers on stage to assist with a costume change, carrying Swift across the stage to help her switch into her “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” jacket and heels. Kelce, dressed in a top hat and jacket, was all smiles during his cameo, adding an extra layer of excitement to the performance.
Gracie Abrams also joined Swift on stage during the surprise songs segment to perform her new song “Us,” which features Swift. The collaboration was a highlight of the night, showcasing the strong bond between the two artists.
The weekend in London was eventful, with several famous faces attending Swift’s concerts. On Friday, members of the British royal family, including Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were spotted in the audience. Their attendance doubled as a celebration of Prince William’s 42nd birthday.
The London shows were also a family affair for the Kelce family. Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, attended the show on Friday night. This was their first time at the Eras Tour, and they were seen wearing friendship bracelets, a tradition among Swift’s fanbase. The Kelce family has been warmly embraced by Swifties, who have shown their support for Travis and Swift’s relationship.
In a heartwarming moment captured on video, Jason Kelce excitedly showed off his new Swiftie stylings to his wife, Kylie. The couple looked grateful for the love and support from the fans.
During the first show, Travis Kelce was seen greeting Swift’s father, Scott Swift, in the VIP section before the concert began. Swift’s mother, Andrea Swift, was also spotted in the reserved section as Travis arrived. This wasn’t the first time Travis attended one of Swift’s shows. He has previously been seen at her concerts in Paris, Sydney, Kansas City, and Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires, Swift famously sang, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs, coming straight home to me,” as a nod to Travis. She repeated these lyrics in London, much to the delight of the audience.
Swift’s London shows are part of her European leg of the Eras Tour, which kicked off with a four-night stint in Paris in May. On her last night in Paris, Travis was there to support her from the audience. The tour has been a massive success, with Swift delivering powerful performances and creating unforgettable moments for her fans.
The bug incident in London is just another example of Swift’s ability to handle unexpected situations with humor and grace. Her connection with her fans and her dedication to her craft continue to make her one of the most beloved artists in the world.
As the Eras Tour continues, fans can look forward to more surprises and memorable performances from Taylor Swift. Whether it’s swallowing a bug or sharing the stage with her boyfriend, Swift always knows how to keep her audience entertained and engaged.
