When you’re on a record-breaking world tour, the show must go on even if you have a cold brewing. Taylor Swift proved ever the professional when she dealt with a runny nose during her show in Edinburgh over the weekend.
The Pennsylvania-born pop star was seen blowing her nose into her fingers several times before wiping them on her sparkly outfit during the Scottish show. This occurred as part of the first leg of her UK tour. The 34-year-old Taylor Swift performed three shows at the Murrayfield Stadium last weekend, where more than 219,000 fans watched.
Though summer is just over a week away, the cool air in the stadium likely wasn’t helping the singer’s case. Especially after temperatures dropped below 46.4 degrees Fahrenheit on the night of the show, some have blamed the chilly temperatures for the incident after the pop star was seen clearing her nose as she performed the hit song “Don’t Blame Me.” In the video, the singer is seen blowing a stream of snot into her hands, which she then lets drip down before wiping on her skirt.
Some fans have even accused the pop sensation of flicking the mucus towards her fans as she braved the nose-reddening temperatures. While some were sympathetic, many took to social media to express their disgust. One user wrote, “Taylor Swift blew her nose and snot on her skirt on stage. Fans also noticed how Taylor licked the snot from her nose at one point.”
A second user was completely disgusted: “Someone please give Taylor Swift some tissues. The number of times I’ve seen her wipe her nose with her hands in the past few days is crazy. I understand she’s performing, but there’s got to be a way to make sure she always has access to some tissues.”

However, some came to Taylor Swift’s defense with one writing, “I’m not even a Swiftie, but I seriously don’t get why anyone would be mad or disgusted by someone wiping their nose. Like seriously? What was she supposed to do? I’m guessing she didn’t have a tissue right there but at least she didn’t want her face covered with snot.”
Taylor Swift’s trio of Edinburgh shows kicked off the singer’s UK tour. Which will be followed by nights in Cardiff and Liverpool as well as eight nights at Wembley. Where 720,000 fans will attend in London alone. Taylor has already performed 53 dates in the US and will return after the European leg to do nine more shows in Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis. She will perform a total of 50 shows across 18 cities in Europe.
