Taylor Swift coughs, struggles to sing in front of 55,000 audience, health alarming

Global music superstar Taylor Swift made international netizens nervous, as she repeatedly coughed and cleared her throat while singing on stage during a series of concerts in Singapore. The fans were simultaneously confused, wishing her to keep her health.

According to News Australia, in the video that went viral online, Taylor Swift repeatedly coughed and cleared her throat while singing her hit Delicate in front of 55,000 spectators at the Singapore National Stadium. "Hope she's okay," the original video poster captioned it.

Under the comment section, one person confirmed going to The Eras Tour concert and saw footage of Swift trying to sing in poor health. He wrote: "She needs a break."

Others claim that the billionaire singer caught a cold due to too much travel, plus changes in the weather in different regions. Before Swift, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, Harry Styles had a similar situation.

After 3 shows on March 2-3-4, the American singer has 2 days of rest before completing the remaining 3 concerts in the Singapore leg.

During a concert in Australia in February, it was reported that Swift's fan meeting was cancelled because the crew feared she would be exposed to potential pathogens.

"When Taylor was on tour, strict measures were in place to prevent her from interacting with anyone outside of her lineup. They can't risk her getting sick under any circumstances," the source told Yahoo Lifestyle.

Even those in the crew, including Swift's dancers and managers, were well protected during the concert. "If Taylor cancels even one show on the tour due to ill health or any other reason, she will lose millions of dollars, her schedule will be affected," the newspaper said.

The Eras Tour currently takes place in Singapore – the exclusive country to hold this concert in Southeast Asia. A large number of international spectators flock here to enjoy the music feast, making the country enjoy a huge economic benefit. The Singapore government spent heavily to monopolize Taylor's concerts in the region, despite the lack of joy from neighboring countries.

Every time the music superstar sets foot anywhere, a huge audience flocks to that venue to see the idol. Accordingly, the local economy and tourism will show signs of sudden growth.

Although actual figures will have to wait until the concert ends on March 9, many economists estimate that the lion island nation's tourism revenue will increase by about $ 400 million. On the first show on March 2, Singapore's National Stadium was filled with 55,000 spectators. The following concerts also recorded an equally large number of viewers, pulling the total ticket sales up to more than 50 million USD (average ticket price 169 USD).

Before arriving in Southeast Asia, The Eras Tour used to sweep many other countries and regions. The impact of the biggest tour in human history is evident in the numbers. In North America alone, ticket sales totaled more than $700 million, along with hundreds of millions of streams just weeks after The Eras Tour kicked off.

At the end of 2023, the Guinness Foundation recognized Taylor's The Eras Tour as the highest-grossing concert series of all time, reaching more than $ 1 billion, surpassing Elton John's previous record ($ 939 million). The most popular global tour brought Swift huge profits, helping her rise to the ranks of "USD billionaire".

After Singapore, France is the next stop for American artists. The global tour is expected to conclude in December with a total of 151 shows. Each show is estimated to gross $17 million.
