When you’re on a record-breaking world tour, the show must go on—even with a cold. Over the weekend, Taylor Swift powered through a chilly 46.4°F performance in Edinburgh, discreetly managing a runny nose on stage while performing hits like “Don’t Fault Me.”
Fans were divided, with some empathizing and others criticizing her for wiping her nose on her hands and skirt. Social media buzzed with reactions, ranging from jokes like “Someone get Taylor tissues” to defenses like, “She’s human—why make it a big deal?”
Swift’s Edinburgh shows kicked off her UK leg, with three sold-out performances before heading to London, Cardiff, and Liverpool. The tour is expected to draw 720,000 fans in London alone, contributing nearly £1 billion to the British economy.
Ticket demand has frustrated UK fans, as international attendees snap up seats, benefiting from favorable currency exchange rates. Despite minor setbacks, Swift’s Eras Tour continues to captivate audiences worldwide, highlighting her resilience and connection with fans.
