Taylor Swift breaks from song onstage to YELL at ‘security guard’ in audience seemingly for treatment of fan: ‘She wasn’t doing anything!’
Taylor Swift repeatedly broke away from the song she was singing onstage on Saturday to yell at a security guard in the audience. The 33-year-old pop star is whirling through her Eras Tour, which is currently in Philadelphia for three shows over Mother’s Day weekend. In footage that went viral online, Taylor was in the midst of a performance of her hit Bad Blood at the Lincoln Financial Field stadium when she got distracted by the goings-on in the crowd.
Based on what she was shouting, it appeared as though her outburst was provoked by the way a security guard was treating a female fan. She pulled away from the lyrics twice to bellow: ‘Hey, stop!’ over the edge of the stage, adding at one point: ‘She wasn’t doing anything!’
One witness, who claimed that security on her side were also being aggressive, said: ‘Taylor was yelling at a security guard because they fully kept putting their hands on us to physically push us off of the barricade instead of just telling us to move. We weren’t throwing anything, we weren’t screaming anything insane, she was fully coming over to dance and sing with us and it resulted in security being extremely aggressive for no reason.’
The incident sent fans into a tizzy on Twitter, where one exclaimed: ‘I could watch this over and over. Taylor defending fans makes me so happy!!’ Another fan, whose Twitter bio included the phrase: ‘seeing taylor may 12 & 14,’ wrote: ‘security was really strict about keeping aisles clear during the show yesterday so i wouldn’t be surprised if she was yelling at security.’
Still another confessed: ‘i literally got scared when i was witnessing it on a random grainy 144p livestream on tiktok like what was happening.’
‘I would hate to be the security guy that got in trouble with her,’ quipped one wag, to which another Twitter user chimed in: ‘Immediately fired for sure.’
Another wrote: ‘someone said she was yelling at a security for being too aggressive with a fan? the “stop, she wasn’t doing anything” makes sense then. if that’s true i think it is SO SWEET of her to be this attentive and defensive over the fans.’
Taylor’s stint in Philadelphia previously hit the headlines Friday night when she brought her rumored boyfriend Matty Healy onstage to open the concert. Matty, a bad boy English rocker who used to be addicted to heroin, took the mic dressed in a skeleton suit and accompanied himself on the guitar. At another point in the show, an eagle-eyed fan caught a glimpse of Matty in the crowd and took a brief video that was then posted to Twitter. Standing near Matty in the audience was Taylor’s longtime pal Blake Lively, as well as another woman who appeared to be Sabrina Carpenter.
One day earlier, Matty and Taylor had been spotted together out in New York City where a source told Page Six they were ‘cuddling and kissing.’ They were reportedly enjoying a double date at the celeb hot spot Casa Cipriani with Taylor’s songwriting collaborator Jack Antonoff and his fiancée Margaret Qualley. Taylor is said to be on the rebound after the collapse of her romance with the smoldering British actor Joe Alwyn, whom she dated for six years.
