AceShowbiz - Taylor Swift knows the feeling of swallowing a bug onstage all too well. On Sunday, June 23, while performing the 10-minute version of "All Too Well" at her third "Eras Tour" show in London, the 34-year-old superstar accidentally inhaled a bug. As Swift sang, "And forget why I needed to," she began coughing, then asked the Wembley Stadium crowd, "I swallowed a bug, can you sing?" The blunder, captured on video by TikTok user alexaelizabethh, is the second time this tour Swift has swallowed a bug.
During a stop in Chicago in December, Swift said, "Is there any chance none of you saw that?" She then joked that it was "delicious" and took the moment in stride. Despite being bugged in the middle of her show again on Sunday, the show must go on, and Swift powered through the minor mishap.
The bug that Swift swallowed wasn't the only unexpected guest who came onstage. During her "Tortured Poets Department" set, boyfriend Travis Kelce joined her dancers to assist with a costume change. Kelce carried her across the stage to help Swift switch into her "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" jacket and heels. Travis was all smiles during his surprise appearance, looking dapper in a top hat and jacket.
This marked Kelce's first-ever onstage appearance with Swift, and he pulled it off with enthusiasm, participating in the skit that leads into Swift's lively performance. As Swift transitioned into "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived", Kelce appeared onstage, performing his part with a big, goofy smile plastered on his face.
The weekend in London saw not only Kelce but also several other famous faces. On Friday, the royal family, including Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were spotted in the audience. The royal family's attendance doubled as a 42nd birthday celebration for Prince William.
Additionally, Travis' brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce attended the show, making it their first time at an "Eras Tour" performance. Their appearance was warmly embraced by the Swiftie fanbase, which has adopted the Kelce family throughout Travis and Taylor's relationship.
Swift's London shows followed an eventful tour across Europe. The 14-time Grammy winner kicked off the European leg of the "Eras Tour" with a four-night stint in Paris in May, where Travis was seen supporting her in the audience. With 46 more shows left across Europe and North America, Swift's "Eras Tour" continues to break records and create memorable moments.
Whether dodging bugs or welcoming unexpected guests, Taylor Swift proves that the show must go on, and she's more than capable of handling whatever comes her way.
