On June 7, 2024, Taylor Swift paused the singing during an Eras Tour performance in Edinburgh, Scotland, after noticing a fan who needed help. She kept strumming and called for assistance; after being told the fan was okay, she returned to the song.
What happened in Edinburgh?
The moment took place during the acoustic surprise-song section of Swift’s June 7 show. While performing “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve,” she noticed a fan in the audience who needed assistance and repeatedly directed attention toward them while continuing to play her guitar. Variety’s contemporaneous report described her telling the crowd, “I’m just gonna keep playing ’til somebody helps them, then I’m gonna keep singing the song,” followed by, “I can do this all night.”
Once the fan had received support and Swift was told they were okay, she resumed the performance. TIME lists the acoustic performance as a mashup of “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” and “I Know Places.” TIME’s Eras Tour mashup list provides that song pairing.
What is known about the fan?
The contemporaneous reporting does not identify the fan, explain what caused them to need help, or specify exactly what assistance they received. Those details should not be inferred from the moment or from Swift’s remarks.
