Fans spot Taylor Swift wiping her runny nose with her fingers and cleaning her fingers on her sparkly skirt during Edinburgh show

As part of the first leg of her UK tour, the 34-year-old performed three shows at the Murrayfield Stadium last weekend where more than 219,000 fans watched.

Though summer is just over a week away, the cool air in the stadium likely wasn’t helping the singer’s case after temperatures dropped below eight degrees Celsius on the night of the show.

Some have blamed the chilly temperatures for the incident after the pop-star was seen clearing her nose of snot as she performed the hit song ‘Don’t Blame Me’.

In the video, the singer is seen blowing a stream of snot into her hands which she then lets drip down her hand before wiping on her skirt.

Some fans have even accused the pop sensation of flicking the mucus towards her fans as she braced the nose reddening temperatures.

While some were sympathetic, many have taken to social media to describe their disgust at seeing the pop star reeling off strings of snot.

One user wrote: ‘Taylor Swift blew her nose and snot on her skirt on stage. Fans also noticed how Taylor licked the snot from her nose at one point.’

A second was completely disgusted: ‘Someone please give Taylor Swift some tissues, the amount of times I’ve seen her wipe her nose with her hands in the past few days is crazy. I understand she’s performing but there’s got to be a way to make sure she always has access to some tissues.’

However, some came to her defence with one writing: ‘I’m not even a Swiftie, but I seriously don’t get why anyone would be mad or disgusted by someone wiping their nose. Like seriously? What was she supposed to do? I’m guessing she didn’t have a tissue right there but at least she didn’t want her face covered with snot,’

Taylor’s trio of Edinburgh shows kicked off the singer’s UK tour which will be followed by nights in Cardiff and Liverpool as well as eight nights at Wembley – where 720,000 fans will attend in London alone.

Taylor has already performed 53 dates in the US, she will return after the European leg to do nine more shows in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis. She will perform a total of 50 shows across 18 cities in Europe.

Some dedicated fans began queuing a full 48 hours before the star arrived in the city for her tour, as a whopping 220,000 excitedly wait for a glimpse and to buy merchandise.
