Taylor Swift's Amsterdam concert at the Johan Cruijff Arena saw the singer repeatedly pausing her performance to ensure fan safety. 

During her 10-minute rendition of "All Too Well," Swift asked stadium workers three times to help fans in distress. 

As she sang lines from her "Red" era song, she interrupted to say, "They need some help over there where they are shining their lights." 

Despite continuing her performance, her concern remained evident as she pointed out the area again and asked, "Do they have help?"

Fans on the jam-packed floor section had waved their flashlights to signal for assistance. 

Swift's persistent calls prompted workers to attend to the area. 

A tweet from a concertgoer highlighted the situation, saying, "GA is SO over packed it's frightening."

Later, during her "Folkmore" set, Swift once again paused to check on fans, saying, "Do we need some help back there? Are you good? Are you happy or… oh, you’re just happy. You’re just holding your phone up. That’s great. That’s better." 

She praised the stadium workers for their dedication, adding, "Everyone here working at the stadium cares so much about you guys. And they are so on top of it and I just wanted to say thank you to them."

Swift's concern for her fans was evident throughout the concert, as she continued to ask for assistance during the "Midnights" era performance of "Mastermind" and other songs from her "Folkmore," "Red," and "1989" sets. 

Emergency responders were on standby, and free water was distributed along the floor to help fans who became overheated.

Outside of the U.S., Swift's concerts often feature open floor seating with no assigned seats, leading to crowded and sometimes overheated conditions. 

Despite the cooler 62-degree temperature in Amsterdam, many fans avoided drinking water to prevent losing their spot near the stage.

Swift's Amsterdam concert was marked by her unwavering commitment to fan safety, and she has one more show in the city on Saturday.
