While battling a cold, Taylor Swift proved her dedication during a chilly 46°F performance in Edinburgh on her record-breaking Eras Tour. Swift discreetly wiped her nose on stage while powering through her hits, including “Don’t Blame Me.”

Fans had mixed reactions, with some sympathizing and others critiquing her for wiping her nose on her hands and skirt. Comments ranged from “Get her some tissues!” to “She’s human—give her a break.”

The Edinburgh shows kicked off Swift’s UK leg, with sold-out performances leading to London, Cardiff, and Liverpool. The tour is expected to draw 720,000 fans in London alone and generate nearly £1 billion for the UK economy.

Despite skyrocketing hotel prices and high ticket demand—fueled partly by international fans seeking affordable options—Swift’s global appeal remains unmatched, captivating audiences with her resilience and professionalism.
