Videos of American music superstar Taylor Swift defending a fan mid-performance on Saturday, May 13, that have been making their rounds on social media recently, left netizens praising the singer. The incident took place in Lincoln Financial Field stadium in Philadelphia, where the 33-year-old singer was performing Bad Blood at her ongoing Eras Tour concert.
The viral footage shows Taylor Swift spotting something in the crowd and gesturing angrily to stop. The singer then proceeds to stop singing and shouts:
"She's fine. She wasn't doing anything!!!"
After her stern interaction, she continued to sing and perform. While the exact reason for Swift's reaction is unknown, many seem to believe it must be an incident involving security guards. According to a Twitter user Cheyenne/ @jackandtaylor:
"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."
Cheyenne explained that despite them doing nothing out of the ordinary for a concert or screaming anything "insane," the security was being "extremely aggressive."
As the video went viral, internet users expressed their love to the music superstar for being caring towards her fans:
