Taylor Swift fans have been having an absolute blast on her highly anticipated Eras tour, where she’s been pleasing fans with live renditions of songs from each one of her albums.

Swifties had to go through a lot to get to the Eras tour, many of them dealing with major ticket sale issues from Ticketmaster and third parties.

Once they get there, however, fans have been having magical evenings, dancing around in fun outfits and making memories.

One group of fans, however, ended up having to deal with an aggressive security guard who would not leave them alone at one of her shows in Philadelphia. The altercations got so bad that Taylor herself had to step in to fix things.

Taylor Swift fans were in a frenzy on the internet after her second concert at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on May 13th when she started yelling at someone in the middle of her song, “Bad Blood.”

Videos showed Taylor yelling, “She wasn’t doing anything!” and “Hey, stop!” at someone on the floor mid-performance.

While a few confused fans thought Taylor’s dialogue may have been part of her performance, it turned out she was yelling at a security guard who was harassing some of her fans on the floor.

Fans took to the internet to search for the fan who was dealing with the security guard to get the details, as this type of altercation doesn’t typically happen at Taylor’s shows.

Eventually, TikTok user Caitlin Gabell (@caityg33) filmed and posted a video of her friend, third-grade teacher Kelly Kelly, who explained what had happened to her friend group that night.

Kelly and her friends got last-minute floor seats to Taylor’s concert that night and sat in the first row in front of one of the stage sections.

Things were going great until the show started, and one of the security guards began berating Kelly and her friends.

Kelly and her friend group stood and danced behind the front row barricade but never started pushing on it or doing something that would make it fall.

However, this one aggressive security guard kept yelling at them to step away from the barricade and decided to yell at them several times throughout the night.

During the song “Bad Blood,” the security guard positioned himself so that he was standing directly above Kelly and her group, blocking their view. That’s when Taylor spotted the mean behavior and started yelling at the security guard.

Kelly barely had time to process what was happening until the security guard finally turned around and saw Taylor yelling at him to stop. Very soon after, other security guards escorted him off the floor.

After the video Kelly made on Caitlin’s account went viral with over one million likes, she created her own account (@kellyingliskelly28) to finish her story.

Soon after the security guard left, people from Taylor’s team approached Kelly and her friends and asked them to give a statement on what happened.

Taylor’s team gathered their names and phone numbers and asked specifically if the security guard physically harassed them.

Then, the team members eventually circled back around and offered Kelly and her friends free tickets for the following day’s concert.

Of course, they accepted the offer and ended up having an amazing time with no mean security guards!

Although Kelly isn’t sure if the free tickets were Taylor’s idea, she’s certainly thankful for her team’s support after the unpleasant incident.

“Never, ever, ever, in my wildest dreams did I ever think that something like this would happen to little old me,” says Kelly in one of her videos.

Can you imagine what it must be like to have your favorite artist defend you in front of all those people?
