Even if you have a cold coming on, you have to keep performing when you’re on a world tour that breaks records. When Taylor Swift handled a runny nose during her performance in Edinburgh over the weekend, she demonstrated her professionalism.
Unstoppable Performance by Taylor Swift in Cold Weather
During the Scottish event, the pop artist, who was born in Pennsylvania, was observed blowing her nose into her fingers multiple times before wiping it over her glittery dress. This happened during her UK tour’s first leg. Over 219,000 people witnessed the 34-year-old Taylor Swift’s three performances at Murrayfield Stadium last weekend.
Even though summer is only a few days away, the singer’s situation was probably not helped by the stadium’s cold air. Some have attributed the event to the cold, particularly after the pop star was spotted wiping her nose while performing the hit song “Don’t Blame Me.” On the night of the show, the temperature plummeted below 46.4 degrees Fahrenheit. The singer can be seen in the video blowing a stream of snot into her hands, letting it drop, and then wiping it on her skirt.
Diverse Responses from the Audience
While the music sensation endured the conditions that made her nose red, some admirers have even accused her of flicking mucous in their direction. While some expressed sympathy, a large number of people expressed their disdain on social media. “Taylor Swift blew her nose and snot on her skirt on stage,” a person commented. Fans also observed Taylor once licking the snot out of her nose.
“Someone please give Taylor Swift some tissues,” exclaimed a second user, looking absolutely horrified. It’s insane how many times in the last few days I’ve watched her use her hands to clean her nose. Although I recognize that she is performing, there has to be a way to guarantee that she always has access to tissues.
Assistance from a Few Fans
With one comment, though, “I’m not even a Swiftie, but I seriously don’t get why anyone would be mad or disgusted by someone wiping their nose,” some supported Taylor Swift. Really, folks? What action was she meant to take? She probably didn’t have a tissue nearby, but at least she wasn’t wanting snot all over her face.
