When you’re on a record-breaking world tour, the show must go on even if you have a cold beer.
And Taylor Swift proved herself to be a pro when she got a runny nose in the middle of her show in Edinburgh at the weekend.
The Pennsylvania-born pop star was seen blowing her nose with her fingers several times before wiping her fingers on her sparkly outfit during the Scottish show.
As part of the first leg of her UK tour, the 34-year-old performed three shows at Murrayfield Stadium last weekend in front of more than 219,000 fans.
Although summer is just over a week away, the cool air in the stadium probably didn’t help the singer after temperatures dropped below eight degrees Celsius on the night of the show.
Some have blamed cold temperatures for the incident after the pop star was seen wiping snot from her nose while performing hit song ‘Don’t Blame Me’.

In the video, the singer is seen blowing a stream of snot into her hands which she then lets drip down before wiping her skirt.
Some fans have even accused the pop sensation of blowing snot at her fans while enduring nose-redden temperatures.
While some were sympathetic, many took to social media to describe their disgust at seeing the pop star coughing up strings of snot.
One user wrote: ‘Taylor Swift blew her nose and blew her snot on her skirt on stage. Fans also noticed how Taylor licked snot from her nose at one point.
A second looked completely disgusted: ‘Someone please give Taylor Swift some tissues, the amount of times I’ve seen her wipe her nose with her hands in the last few days is crazy. I get that she’s acting, but there has to be a way to ensure that she always has access to some tissues.
However, some came to her defense, writing: “I’m not even a Swiftie, but I seriously don’t understand why anyone would get angry or upset when someone wipes their nose.” As serious? What was she supposed to do? I guess she didn’t have a tissue there, but at least she didn’t want to get snot all over her face.

Taylor’s trio of Edinburgh shows kicked off the singer’s UK tour, which will be followed by nights in Cardiff and Liverpool, as well as eight nights at Wembley, which will be attended by 720,000 fans in London alone.
Taylor has already performed 53 shows in the US, she will return after the European leg to play nine more shows in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis. She will perform a total of 50 shows in 18 cities in Europe.
Some dedicated fans began lining up for 48 hours before the star arrived in town for her tour, while a whopping 220,000 eagerly waited to take a look and purchase merchandise.
However, many struggled to find accommodation in Edinburgh as hotels booked up quickly despite tripling their rates during the megastar’s three-night residency between June 7-9.
His Eras tour will boost the British economy by almost £1 billion.

Since its debut in Scotland at the weekend, UK fans have complained that they have had difficulty getting tickets due to American buying shows in the UK.
On social media after the show, fans said they were upset by some attendees’ decision to fly to Scotland, given that the singer has not performed in the country in eight years.
While Americans responded that they had difficulty getting tickets in their home state, adding that European dates are significantly cheaper due to the strong dollar.
Of the 4.35 million tickets sold to Swiftie fans, people around the world have had difficulty accessing the shows due to exceptionally high demand.
