Taylor Swift chokes on stage after swallowing a bug for the third time on the Eras Tour

Taylor Swift gasped for air during a performance on stage of her Eras Tour after accidentally swallowing a bug – again.

The incident occurred as she sat at her piano singing a version of “I Almost Do” during a concert in Milan on Saturday, July 13. Moments into the number, she began coughing and told the audience that she needed a “second” to collect herself.

“I knew it was going to happen because there are so many bugs here tonight. Just a minute, I just need to cough,” Taylor told the crowd.

After finally clearing her throat, she continued her performance, recovering from the moment of shock. Unfortunately for the Bad Blood singer, inhaling an insect on stage was not a one-time occurrence. She also swallowed insects when she performed in Chicago and London.

The strange incidents occurred after she took to social media to express her support for the recent achievements of her NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce. On social media, Taylor acknowledged Travis’s rise to the top of a poll ranking the league’s best tight ends.

The Grammy winner and top player was aware of her boyfriend’s talents on the field last season, having attended 13 Chiefs games. Taylor’s regular attendance at Travis’ games also seemed to be a lucky charm for the Kansas City Chiefs, as they won 10 times in her presence, including the Super Bowl showpiece.

With his third career Super Bowl ring, Travis’ reputation has arguably never been higher. Not only is Travis considered one of the best players of all time at his position, but he is now also considered one of the best tight ends in the league.

Travis received this award after an ESPN poll took into account over 80 votes from coaches, executives and talent scouts who selected their top 10 tight ends. Despite some stiff competition from George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers, Kelce was the voters’ favorite. Travis’ stats prove why he deserves so much praise in the sports world.

In 2024, he averaged 51 first downs and 65.6 yards per game. In addition, his excellent performances in the playoffs have enhanced his reputation, as he recorded 32 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns in his four postseason appearances.

After being named the best player at his position in the NFL, it was clear that his girlfriend Taylor was proud of his accomplishments. On Instagram, her account even liked a post from the @chiefs.talk account announcing Kelce, which read, “The craziest ever.”
