M10News, June 25, 2024 – Taylor Swift, 34, experienced an unexpected mishap during her Eras Tour concert when she accidentally swallowed a bug on stage.
The incident occurred on Sunday night while she was performing the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.”
Swift momentarily stopped singing and informed the audience, “I just swallowed a bug, keep singing.”
Despite the interruption, the 14-time Grammy winner quickly resumed her performance after a brief coughing fit.

The “Cruel Summer” singer was seen stepping away from her microphone and clutching her throat while trying to expel the bug.
Once the chorus resumed, Swift continued singing as if nothing had happened.
This wasn’t the first time Swift encountered such an incident. Around the same time last year, she swallowed a bug during her “Evermore” set at Soldier Field in Chicago. She humorously addressed the audience, saying, “Oh, delicious.
Oh, God. Is there any chance that none of you saw that?” After a coughing attack, she joked, “So I’m just gonna try not to do as many of those.
This is gonna happen again tonight. There’s so many bugs. There’s a thousand of them. Anyway, this has been fun.”
While Swift managed to avoid bugs during her previous tours, they finally got the best of her during her final show in London.
The incident was a minor hiccup in an otherwise flawless and unexpected performance.
The crowd was further surprised when Swift brought her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, on stage for a short skit during the “Tortured Poet’s Department” set. The audience erupted in cheers as Kelce, 34, appeared among Swift’s dancers, dressed in a custom tuxedo and top hat.
He lifted her in his arms and carried her across the stage, where dancers helped her change into a white sparkling bralette and high-waisted bottoms.
Swift then blew a kiss to the NFL star before continuing with “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”
Reflecting on the now-viral moment, Swift posted on social media, “I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut 🥰 Never going to forget these shows,” alongside photos and videos, including three featuring Kelce.
The three-time Super Bowl champion, who started dating Swift last summer, attended all three of her London concerts.
He was joined by his brother Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, for the first two shows. Other celebrities in attendance included Tom Cruise, Sophie Turner, Paul McCartney, Ashton Kutcher, and even Prince William and his children.
Swift and Kelce celebrated the successful three-day run with friends at Chiltern Firehouse, partying until the early hours of the morning.
