Taylor Swift accidentally swallowed a bug during her Eras Tour stop in Chicago, Illinois. During her set at Soldier Field Stadium on June 4, Swift abruptly paused to cough out the creepy crawler.

“I just swallowed a bug. I’m sorry,” Swift told the audience in a fan-captured video. “It’s totally fine. It’s just stupid. Delicious.”
According to the Chicago NBC affiliate, a local bar called Replay in the Lincoln Park neighborhood transformed the jaw-dropping moment into a delectable cocktail. Replay turned their space into a “Tay Tay Partay” pop-up to honor the Eras Tour. The Chicagoland hot spot recently extended the Swiftie-themed bar to June 18.
The venue offers karaoke with a long-running list of Swift’s biggest hits, “Swift Psycho Bingo,” Instagrammable photo-ops, and Swifitie-inspired drinks. One secret cocktail on the menu is called the “Bad Bug,” with a gummy worm garnish.
The signature spritz is a mixture of vodka, tamarind, chili pepper, watermelon, pineapple, and ginger beer, reported NBC. The perfectly stirred concoction is a playful spin on the bug incident.
Swift will appear next in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on June 16 and 17. Following her two-night stand, she will travel to Cincinnati, Ohio, to play at Paycor Stadium. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, Joe Burrow, recently spoke about the Eras Tour and revealed he might “stop by.”
“I have a lot of respect for what Taylor Swift has done with her career,” the professional athlete shared with Sports Illustrated. “I can’t say that I’m listening to too much Taylor Swift on the speakers in the headphones. I know a lot of people that are. But that’s just not me. I’ve heard the tour is a lot of fun, though. Maybe I’ll stop by.”
The singer will conclude her long-running trek in early August but will pick back up in December for her Latin America run. Sabrina Carpenter will serve as direct support on the four-city leg.
