Taylor Swift stops half way through ‘Shake It Off’ to send request to her security

I don't remember these lyrics

Taylor Swift halted a performance of her hit single 'Shake It Off' during a performance in Edinburgh in order to send a message to security.

The megastar's monumental Eras Tour is currently making its way through the UK, with Swifties lining up in their thousands to catch a glimpse of their idol in the flesh.

However,as with any major stadium show, it can be taxing for fans to spend hours stood on their feet in a tightly packed, and often boiling hot, space as they wait for their an act to take to the stage.

This is something that Swift, 34, is fully aware of, with the singer regularly making sure to keep an eye on her fans during performances.

She isn't afraid of stepping in to help fans in need either, as one clip recorded at her Edinburgh show sees her stopping mid-song to get security's attention.

In the video, posted to TikTok by @har1702, Swift is in the middle of belting out her track 'Shake It Off' when she abruptly stops and says something to the security team.

"We need some help over here, right in front of me about 35ft back," she says as the instrumentals and backing singers continue.

"Thank you," she adds, before seamlessly slotting back into her performance.

Swift can also be seen pointing into the crowd for several seconds prior to the comment, seemingly trying to get the attention of security staff.

The poster went on to reveal that this wasn't the first incident of this happening during the show either, as she'd also had to ask for assistance multiple times during a performance of 'All Too Well'.

"I don't blame her, she had to ask about 10 times during All Too Well too," they added.

Fans were quick to praise the singer for keeping an eye on fan welfare during her concerts.

"I love how she is always mothering," one person wrote, while a second added: "The way they caught on and turned the music and everything down."

"I'm so glad she always looks out for us," a third commented.


Several fans also pointed out that she likely to be super vigilant with crowd safety after a fan died during a show in Brazil last year.

"I think she has stopped or talked to security loads because its clear [that] she can see more of the crowd (I also think she has a lot of anxiety from Brazil now)," another person wrote.

23-year-old Ana Clara Benevides Machado passed away due to heat exhaustion after collapsing at a show in Rio De Janeiro last November. The show had taken place during a heatwave in the country, where temperatures reached upto 39C.
