Taylor Swift’s fans expressed concern after footage surfaced of the pop sensation appearing under the weather during her recent concert in Singapore. The 34-year-old songstress, who just concluded her high-energy tour of Australia, was captured coughing during her performance of the hit song “Delicate” at the National Stadium on Saturday evening.
The sight of Swift battling what seemed to be a cold has prompted fears among fans that the remainder of her Eras world tour could be jeopardized. Some Swifties took to social media to express their worries, with comments ranging from urging Swift to prioritize her health to suggesting she cancel upcoming shows to recuperate.

“She looks like she’s not feeling her best… girl needs some rest,” remarked one concerned fan, echoing the sentiments of many others. Another fan emphasized, “She needs a break,” while acknowledging the toll touring can take on one’s health.
Taylor Swift’s packed schedule includes three more shows in Singapore before she jets off to France to continue her global tour. However, amidst the apprehension about Taylor Swift’s health, Southeast Asia Swifties have also expressed frustration over the circumstances surrounding her lone stop in the region.
Singapore secured Swift exclusively for its only South-East Asia tour stop, reportedly paying a hefty sum of $4.3 million per show. This exclusivity deal has drawn criticism from fans in neighboring countries, who feel disadvantaged by the arrangement.
The controversy surrounding Taylor Swift’s Singapore performances has even sparked political tension between nations. Thailand’s Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin accused Singapore of outmaneuvering its neighbors by securing Swift’s exclusive performances, effectively preventing other countries in the region from hosting the pop star.
Despite the controversy, Taylor Swift’s concerts in Singapore are expected to provide a significant economic boost. With six sold-out nights at the 55,000-seat National Stadium, Swift’s shows are anticipated to draw massive crowds and contribute substantially to the local economy.
As Swift continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her electrifying performances, her health remains a top priority for fans and concert organizers alike. While concerns linger about the impact of illness on her tour schedule, Swift’s unwavering dedication to her craft and her fans ensures that she will continue to deliver unforgettable performances, no matter the circumstances.
