A video of Taylor Swift, uploaded on X on December 13, went viral. In the video, Swift is seen walking down a hallway at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, smiling and waving at fans. However, a woman from her crew started yelling at a fan who was filming her.
The lady, who was clad in a pink jacket, said angrily, "You're not supposed to be filming!" Swift, who seemingly looked embarrassed by her reaction, quickly defended the fan by grabbing the woman by her shoulders. Turning her body away from the fan, Swift added: "it's okay! it's okay!"
