Dedicated to ensuring a safe environment at her concerts, Taylor Swift took a moment during her recent Eras Tour show to focus on the well-being of her fans.
During her Edinburgh, Scotland concert on Friday, June 7, the singer-songwriter paused her performance to signal security for a fan who was in distress. Swift waited until the situation was completely resolved before continuing with her show.
The interruption occurred amidst Swift’s acoustic segment of the evening, sometimes referred to by fans as “surprise song o’clock,” where she delivers unexpected tracks from her extensive catalog not listed on the evening’s setlist.
While preparing to perform “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” from her album Midnights, Swift caught sight of fans signaling for assistance. Firm on not proceeding with the song, she insisted on security helping those fans first.

Video footage shared on X captured the 34-year-old artist gesturing to the area where the distressed fans were situated, urging the venue’s security staff to attend to them as she continued to finger her guitar.
“I’m just gonna keep playing till somebody helps them,” Swift declared, letting the audience know firmly, “We’re not gonna keep singing.” She reassured that she’d keep the focus on the fans in need until help arrived.
Once the fans were safe, Swift asked, “You’re good?” and upon confirmation, she let out an exuberant “Awesome!” and dove back into her performance.
The evening had yet another hiccup when Swift suddenly experienced a cramp in her hand mid-song, which caused her to momentarily cease playing her guitar.
Admitting to the audience that the cramp was “embarrassing,” she quickly massaged her hands to alleviate the discomfort and returned to her music.
