In a gentle yet firm address to her fans, Taylor Swift expressed concern over objects being thrown onto the stage during her Buenos Aires concert on Sunday night. The global pop sensation, known for creating an immersive concert experience, politely asked attendees to refrain from hurling items at the stage, emphasizing the potential risk to both herself and her dancers.
Swift, who recently kicked off the South American leg of her Eras Tour in Argentina, urged fans to maintain healthy boundaries during her performance. In a fan-recorded video shared on social media, she stated, “It really freaks me out when stuff gets thrown on the stage because if it’s on the stage, then a dancer can trip on it. I love that you brought presents, and that is so nice, but just can you please not throw them on the stage. I love you so much.”
The singer’s concern comes at a time when the trend of throwing objects onto stages during live music events has escalated, posing a risk to artists and their crews. Swift’s plea echoes similar incidents involving Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini, Harry Styles, and even Pink, who was shocked when a fan tossed her a bag filled with their mother’s ashes.
This unsettling trend prompted Adele to address the issue during her Las Vegas residency earlier this year, where she humorously wielded a t-shirt cannon and warned the crowd, “Dare you to throw something at me, and I’ll f—ing kill you.”
Swift, currently on the South American leg of her world tour, delivered three sold-out shows in Argentina, captivating audiences with her chart-topping hits and captivating stage presence. Despite the delay of her Sunday concert due to rain, Swift’s concern for the safety of her team and herself remains a top priority, urging fans to show their love in ways that enhance the concert experience without risking harm.
