Taylor Swift encountered a familiar onstage mishap during her third Eras Tour show in London on Sunday, June 23. 

While captivating the crowd with her extended rendition of "All Too Well" at Wembley Stadium, the 34-year-old singer inadvertently swallowed a bug.

In a moment captured by TikTok user alexaelizabethh, Swift, amid singing "And forget why I needed to," suddenly began coughing. Gathering herself, she humorously turned to the audience, saying, "I swallowed a bug, can you sing?"

This incident marks the second time Swift has faced such an unexpected challenge during her current tour. Back in December during a Chicago performance, she quipped about a similar mishap, jokingly describing it as "delicious."

Despite the hiccup, Swift continued her show, displaying her professionalism and ability to handle unforeseen circumstances seamlessly.

Adding to the night's surprises, Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, joined her on stage during the Tortured Poets Department segment to assist with a costume change. Kelce, looking sharp in a top hat and jacket, helped Swift transition into her "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" attire, creating a memorable moment for fans.

Sunday's concert also saw special guest appearances, including singer Gracie Abrams, who performed her collaboration with Swift, "Us," during the surprise songs segment of the show.

The London performances were not short of star-studded audiences either. On Friday, Prince William and his children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—attended Swift's concert, turning the event into a double celebration as they marked Prince William's 42nd birthday.

Travis Kelce's presence, alongside his brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie, added a familial touch to the occasion, with the Kelce family visibly enjoying the fan support and camaraderie among Swift's admirers.

Swift's European leg of the Eras Tour follows her successful shows in Paris and Cardiff, continuing to draw enthusiastic crowds across the continent.
