Taylor Swift angrily addressed a security guard mid-song during a concert in Philadelphia on Saturday night (May 13). Pitchfork and Vulture both report on fan-shot footage that shows Swift appearing to defend a fan who was involved in an incident with a security guard at Lincoln Financial Field. Swift, mid-way through her song "Bad Blood," stopped singing to shout "She's fine," "Hey, stop!" and "She wasn't doing anything" in the direction of the crowd.
Speaking to Good Morning America, Kelly Kelly said she was the fan in question and explained what happened. "I was dancing and [the security guard] kept telling me to stop. He kept telling me to calm down and not to dance. I guess [Swift] noticed and she yelled at him and told him to leave me alone. It meant so much. Her fans know that she has our back."
The FADER has reached out to representatives for Swift and Lincoln Financial Field for clarification over the incident.
Swift is currently on tour as part of her "Eras" stadium tour. Last week her fans made headlines after confusion over an unpublished book, which many believed to be a memoir by the pop star, led to it being pushed to the top of multiple pre-order charts. It was subsequently revealed that the book in question is an oral history of the K-pop group BTS.
