Taylor Swift usually performs a different kind of show-stopper.

But on Saturday in Philadelphia, a clearly perturbed Swift interrupted her song “Bad Blood” when a crowd disturbance involving fans and security caught her eye.

Video of the incident was captured by a concertgoer on Twitter. It shows Swift yelling out, “She’s fine!” She then resumed the song, but stopped again to yell at security. “She wasn’t doing anything.” She then yelled, “Hey! Stop!”

It’s unclear what prompted the outburst. One tweet suggested guards were being aggressive in keeping fans from leaning on barriers separating the crowd from the stage.

One of the concert-goers alleged on Twitter that the guards were “putting their hands on us to physically push us off of the barricade instead of just telling us to move.”

Swift’s “Eras” tour started March 17 in Arizona.

North Korea's suicide soldiers pose new challenge for Ukraine in war with Russia
After a battle in Russia's snowy western region of Kursk this week, Ukrainian special forces scoured the bodies of more than a dozen slain North Korean enemy soldiers. But it is among mounting evidence from the battlefield, intelligence reports and testimonies of defectors that some North Korean soldiers are resorting to extreme measures as they support Russia's three-year war with Ukraine. "Self-detonation and suicides: that's the reality about North Korea," said Kim, a 32-year-old former North Korean soldier who defected to the South in 2022, requesting he only be identified by his surname due to fears of reprisals against his family left in the North.
