Back in March, Taylor Swift traveled to the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona to kick off her Eras Tour. With the tour spanning over 50 shows and reaching five continents, the singer’s success seemed to only grow as she became the first billionaire to use music as her main source of income. That doesn’t include the over 100 awards she currently holds, including the Woman of the Decade. Continuing to tour the world, sharing her music with fans from all walks of life, Swift recently paused her show in Buenos Aires, Argentina to address the crowd and set some clear boundaries when it comes to gifts.

The Balance Between Love And Safety
For many artists, there is no thrill greater than performing in front of thousands of screaming fans. And given the massive success of Taylor Swift, her concerts are considered historic events to those lucky enough to grab a ticket. On November 12, Swift once again walked on stage at the Estadio River Plate to perform her nearly four-hour show. While sitting at her piano for “Evermore,” the singer noticed a present that landed on stage near her. Although fans often throw gifts and garments are their favorite artists, Swift decided to address the dangerous trend.
Not scolding the crowd or stopping her performance, Taylor Swift thanked fans for their support and love, but admitted, “It really freaks me out when stuff gets thrown on the stage. Because if it’s on the stage then a dancer can trip on it.” With such a detailed show, the singer explained the safety concerns for those around her before adding, “I love that you bought presents and that is so nice, but just, can you please not throw them on the stage. I love you so much.”

Taylor Swift Changes Lyric For Travis Kelce
Besides sharing her music with thousands of fans, Taylor Swift shared her spotlight with her new squeeze Travis Kelce. For the last couple of months, the pair have taken over media outlets with their budding romance. During her latest show, the pop star decided to change some lyrics to her song “Karma” to include the tight end. Not able to hold back excitement, she giggled as she sang, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home to me.”
As her new lyrics traveled through the speakers, fans erupted in cheers as Travis Kelce blushed over the pleasant surprise. With each show running several hours, Taylor Swift waited until the end of the show to throw herself into the arms of Kelce as they both shared a romantic kiss before disappearing backstage.
