Taylor Swift Calls Out Eras Tour Crowd After Fans Launch Bras at Her
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift was forced to scold the crowd on the final night of the Eras Tour in Buenos Aires, Argentina after fans threw their bras onstage during the show.
While some artists, like P!nk or Harry Styles, have become known for accepting gifts from fans in the audience or interacting with flags and signs, it's long been known among Swifties that the superstar prefers not to have anything thrown her way, previously expressing her fears over the action (which is no surprise these days, given how many people have been injured in recent months due to fans rendering objects airborne at concerts, like Bebe Rexha, who was hit by a cell phone, and Kelsea Ballerini, who was hit in the eye by a bracelet).
So after a pair of bras eventually made their way onto the stage on the evening of Nov. 12, Swift had to take matters into her own hands and set some "gentle healthy boundaries" with the rowdy crowd.
In a video shared by a popular update account dedicated to the performer, as Swift sat down at her moss-covered piano to play "Champagne Problems," she addressed the crowd, telling them, "...it really freaks me out when stuff gets thrown on the stage."
She expressed concern over one of her dancers potentially tripping on the objects, though she's been seen before appearing scared by fans throwing things at her.
"I love that you brought presents and that is so nice, but just can you please not throw them on the stage?" she continued, adding, "I love you so much!" before the clip ended.

According to several folks on Twitter who were either there in person or watching on a TikTok livestream, the incidents occurred during "You Belong With Me," which, of course, comes during the Fearless era, which is the second segment of the show, and at some point during the Evermore era, which is the third segment.
In a brief clip uploaded to the social media platform, a bra can be seen flying past the "Is It Over Now?" singer from behind as she addresses the crowd, skidding past her on the stage.

One viewer observed Swift "sidestepp[ing]" it after the fact before one of her dancers seemingly kicked it off of the stage, though it's unclear if they aimed to do so or if they got tripped up on it.
