Taylor Swift swallowed a bug while performing her third consecutive night at London's Wembley Stadium.
Taylor Swift encountered an unexpected interruption during her 10-minute version of "All Too Well" performance during her third consecutive night at London's Wembley Stadium.
As she reached the line, "and forget why I needed to," Swift suddenly coughed, startling the crowd of 89,000 fans.
"I swallowed a bug, can you sing?" she asked the concertgoers, her voice tinged with humor despite the momentary setback. The packed stadium didn't miss a beat, enthusiastically taking over for Swift, and transforming the mishap into a unique moment.
This isn't the first time the "Miss Americana" singer has been thwarted by a pesky insect on her massive Eras Tour. Last June in Chicago, Swift briefly turned away from the audience during her performance at Soldier Field after a bug flew into her mouth mid-song.
"Is there any chance none of you saw that?" she quipped to the amused Chicago crowd.
Stammering, she continued, "It's fine, it's all, it's -- I've swallowed it." With a laugh, Swift added, "So I'm just gonna try not to do as many of those. This is gonna happen again, there's so many bugs. There's a thousand of them. Anyway, this has been fun."
On Sunday, the 34-year-old "London Boy" crooner hit the stage for the third and final time at Wembley Stadium this month as part of her Eras tour, and welcomed another crop of big-name celebrities to the VIP tent, including The Beatles' Paul McCartney and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce -- who attended all three nights and even hit the stage. The visits came after Swift performed her first two shows on Friday and Saturday, welcoming more than 160,000 fans between the two days -- including Prince William and his two older children.
Also in attendance on Sunday was Swift's friend and collaborator, Gracie Abrams, as well as Jon Bon Jovi, Ellie Goulding, Sophie Turner and several other stars. Given Swift's connection to the U.K. capital -- she lived in London on and off with Joe Alwyn, her ex-boyfriend of six years -- it's no surprise just how many famous friends turned out over the course of the three-day stop.
Those who missed out on the first London leg (featuring chicken tenders with seemingly ranch) will have a chance to catch the Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium in August, when Swift returns for five more shows before she officially says "So Long, London" and heads back to the U.S. for tour dates in New Orleans, Miami and Indianapolis.
