Taylor Swift has left her fans concerned after she appeared to be sick during her concert in Singapore on Wednesday night. The 34-year-old singer was seen coughing and clearing her throat several times as she performed her hit song “Delicate” for a sold-out crowd of 55,000 at the National Stadium.
A video of the incident was shared on TikTok by a fan who wrote: “Hope she’s okay. She’s been coughing.” The clip quickly went viral and sparked a wave of comments from other fans who expressed their worry and sympathy for Swift.
“Oooh no she needs some rest,” one user wrote. “She was coughing during our show too,” another added. Some fans speculated that Swift might have caught the flu or Covid-19 from her previous shows in Australia, where many people were reportedly infected. Others suggested that the change in weather and humidity might have affected her voice.
Taylor Swift has been on the road for a year
Taylor Swift is currently on the Eras Tour, a massive world tour that covers all her albums from her self-titled debut in 2006 to her latest release, The Tortured Poets Department, which she announced at the Grammys last month. The tour started in March 2023 and has taken Swift to various countries in North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
According to Taylor Swift’s official website, she has a well-deserved break after March 9, which is her final night in Singapore. After that, she will resume her tour in Europe on May 9, where she will be joined by Paramore as her opening act. She will end the European leg in London, England, in August, before heading back to the States for a few more shows in October.
The Eras Tour is one of the most ambitious and profitable tours in history, as Taylor Swift performs a different setlist every night that features songs from her entire discography. She also surprises her fans with special guests, such as Ed Sheeran, Selena Gomez, and Halsey, who have joined her on stage in various cities.
However, the tour has also been met with some controversy, as it was reported that Swift was paid $3 million per show in Singapore to prevent her from performing anywhere else in Southeast Asia. This angered some politicians and fans in neighboring countries, such as Thailand and the Philippines, who felt that they were deprived of the opportunity to see Swift live.
Swift has a history of health issues and a strict regime to protect herself.
This is not the first time that Swift has faced health issues while on tour. In her Netflix documentary Miss Americana, Swift revealed that she struggled with body image and an eating disorder in the past, which affected her performance and mental health. She said that she would stop eating or exercise excessively to fit into the unrealistic standards of the industry.
She also admitted that she had to take a year off from the public eye in 2017 to recover from the backlash she received after her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. She said that she felt “lower than I’ve ever felt in my life” and that she had to rebuild her self-esteem and confidence.
Swift has since adopted a healthier lifestyle and a more positive outlook. She said that she learned to accept her body and to focus on her happiness and creativity. She also said that she has a strict regime to protect herself from getting sick while on tour, which includes avoiding contact with anyone outside of her “bubble” and staying in her hotel room most of the time.
Swift has not commented on her health status after the Singapore show, but fans are hoping that she is okay and that she will take care of herself. Swift is known for her dedication and professionalism, but she is also human and deserves some rest and recovery. We wish her all the best and hope to see her back on stage soon.
