When you’re on a record-breaking world tour, the show must go on—even if you’re battling a cold.
Over the weekend, Taylor Swift proved her dedication and professionalism during a chilly performance in Edinburgh, where she was seen managing a runny nose on stage.
Despite the brisk 46.4°F weather, Swift powered through her set, performing her hits, including “Don’t Fault Me,” even as she discreetly wiped her nose.
Fans had mixed reactions to the incident.
While some empathized with the pop sensation, recognizing the challenges of performing under the weather, others were less forgiving.
Social media lit up with comments, including critiques of her wiping her nose on her hands and skirt.
One fan quipped, “Someone please get Taylor Swift some tissues,” while another defended her, stating, “She’s human—why are people making a big deal out of this?”
Swift’s Edinburgh shows marked the start of her UK leg, featuring three sold-out performances before heading to London, Cardiff, and Liverpool.
