While on her record-breaking global tour, Taylor Swift showcased her professionalism over the weekend, performing in Edinburgh despite battling a runny nose. With summer just around the corner, the chilly stadium conditions may have contributed to her discomfort, as the temperature that night dropped to 46.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Fans noticed her wiping her nose during her performance of ā€œDonā€™t Blame Me,ā€ and video footage captured her blowing her nose into her hands before letting it drop and then wiping it on her skirt.

While many fans admired her dedication to the performance, others expressed their disgust on social media, with some even claiming she flicked mucus towards them. One user remarked, ā€œTaylor Swift blew her nose and snot on her skirt on stage,ā€ while another noted they had seen her lick the snot out of her nose. Another fan exclaimed, ā€œSomeone please get Taylor Swift some tissues!ā€ expressing disbelief at how often she seemed to wipe her nose without a tissue in sight.

However, not all comments were critical; some defended her actions, suggesting it was unreasonable for anyone to be upset over such a natural occurrence. They pointed out that without tissues readily available, at least she wasnā€™t leaving snot on her face.

Taylorā€™s tour kicked off with three shows in Edinburgh, followed by eight nights at Wembley and additional performances in Cardiff and Liverpool, with around 720,000 fans expected in London. After this European leg, she will return to the U.S. for nine more shows, adding to her already impressive tally of 53 dates across the country.

Swiftā€™s visit to the UK is projected to boost the British economy by approximately Ā£1 billion, as fans not only purchase tickets but also spend on accommodations, transportation, pre-concert meals, and official merchandise. On average, UK fans are expected to spend around Ā£848 to attend her concert.

Since her Scottish debut, UK fans have voiced their frustrations about ticket availability, largely attributed to American buyers. Those in the U.S. countered that they faced similar challenges securing tickets at home, pointing out that concerts in Europe are more affordable due to the strong dollar. Demand for Swiftā€™s performances has been sky-high, with over 4.35 million tickets sold worldwide.
