Taylor Swift refused to continue performing in Edinburgh on Friday after noticing a fan in distress in the crowd, Daily Mail reports.
According to the report by Daily Mail, the billionaire songstress, 34, was in the middle of singing Would have, Could have, Should’ve to a crowd of over 70,000 in Murrayfield when she noticed a fan causing concern.
In footage captured on social media, Taylor continued to strum her guitar, before saying: ‘Need help right in front of me, right in front of me please.
‘She’s right in front of me, just gonna keep playing until we notice where it is, right, right there.
‘I’m just gonna keep playing ’til somebody helps them, then I’m going to keep singing the song.
‘I don’t think anybody’s seen them yet and they’re gonna, because we’re not gonna keep singing, we’re just gonna keep talking about the people that need help in front of me. Just let me know when – I can do this all night!’
Finally, the fan appeared to get the help they needed as Taylor said: ‘OK, you’re good? AWESOME!’ Before singing: ‘God rest my soul…’
Taylor’s first Edinburgh show was a resounding success with fans and critics alike.
She touched down in the capital city around lunchtime on Friday before she was whisked away in a blacked-out vehicle accompanied by a police escort.
Taylor has received universally glowing reviews from British music critics who attended her first show in the Scottish capital.
Daily Mail’s Adrian Thrills awarded the show five stars and described it as ‘a spectacle with substance’.
Praising the career-spanning nature of her three-hour long show, he wrote: ‘It’s easy to get lost in the Swiftiverse: the speculation surrounding the lyrics about her exes; the different colour codes for each album; the £1.5 billion this tour is expected to generate. But all the background noise fades the minute this brilliant performer hits the stage.’
Writing for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis awarded her show five out of five stars, noting the American singer seems ‘all-powerful’.
