Taylor Swift fans express concern for pop star as she fights for Singapore show: ‘She needs to rest’

Taylor Swift has left fans worried after appearing to have a cold during her first show in Singapore.

The American pop superstar was seen coughing while performing during the Singapore leg of her Eras Tour at the National Stadium.

The clip showed Swift coughing and then clearing her throat while performing her song Delicate.

Fans were quick to chime in in the comments, including American rapper Lil Uzi Vert, who wrote: “I really hope he’s okay.”

“I was there and I was really worried about Taylor,” one Swiftie commented while another said, “Oooh no she needs to get some rest.”

‘You can hear a husky tone in her voice, she also seems calmer and more reserved in her movements. The show must go on…a queen,’ said another.

‘I hope she’s okay. Get some rest Taylor as soon as possible. We love you! Stay safe and healthy,” someone else wrote.

‘Looks like he only has two shows and then all of April off, so I hope he can rest!’ Another one intervened.

‘I can only imagine how exhausting it must be to be on tour giving 100 percent to every performance. She is amazing!’ said one more.

It comes as Southeast Asian Swifties have been furious that Swift made just one stop in the area in controversial circumstances.

The global superstar, 34, is currently in the middle of his stint at Singapore’s National Stadium, marking his only stop in Southeast Asia after it was reported that the country is paying the pop star 4 .3 million dollars per show to perform there exclusively.

“Singapore paid a considerable amount so that no other Southeast Asian country could have its chances,” one fan complained on social media.

“We should boycott Singapore and Taylor,” wrote another.

“It’s typical Singaporean behaviour: they’ll do anything to antagonize their neighbours,” complained another.

Swift’s grant from the Singapore Tourism Board to bring her tour to the wealthy nation sparked a row between neighboring countries.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin last month accused Singapore of paying Swift millions per concert to exclusively secure her, something he discovered after the deal was closed.

Speaking at the Bangkok iBusiness Forum 2024, Thavisin said: “The Singapore government is smart. ‘They said we wouldn’t do any more shows in Asia.’

The Thai prime minister called Singapore’s move “shrewd”, adding that he had long wondered why Swift had not opted to play in Thailand.

The Singapore shows are likely to be a boom for the economy. Swift has sold out six nights at the 55,000-capacity National Stadium this month.
