“OK. I’m going to not try to do as many of those, but this is going to happen again tonight. There’s so many bugs out here,” she ended.

“Umm. Was the bug crawling on her mic? Gross,” said another.

“Ew. Was it really delicious?” asked one fan.

BLOWING AWAY HER FANS

These two incidents are not the first on the Eras Tour.

Taylor got her garter stuck to her T-shirt dress during her performance of Anti-Hero and continued singing as one of her back-up singers tried to get her unstuck.

She also messed up the lyrics to Mastermind during the beginning of the tour and has even fumbled over lyrics during her acoustic, surprise songs set.

Taylor also made headlines when she yelled at a security guard who pushed a fan on the barricade.

And her piano played itself after her rain show in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Fans have dubbed her current concert, the Errors Tour after multiple mess-ups have happened.

However, nothing compares to her blowing her nose in front of 50,000 plus fans during the reputation Stadium Tour in 2018.

During a show in Auckland, New Zealand, Taylor had a bit of a cold.

And the rain show did not help.

“This isn’t our first rain show,” Taylor told her fans while pulling out a tissue.

“So, I’m not saying that I’m getting colds because we’re constantly playing in the rain, but I’m NOT not saying that I’m always getting colds because we’re playing in the rain. But it’s worth it because it’s so fun, right?”

Taylor then blew her nose hard in the tissue and looked around to figure out where to put it.

She wound up tossing it off stage to a security guard up front.

“I’m so sorry about this. Oh my god, I’m so sorry,” the singer apologized to fans.

The 12-time Grammy Award winner also blew her nose during a stop in Cleveland, Ohio, on the reputation Tour.
