    Taylor Swift "swallowed a bug" during a performance at Wembley Stadium over the weekend, with her heard asking for assistance whilst on stage at the venue.

    The singer-songwriter, 34, performed three shows at the stadium in London last week as part of the Eras Tour, which reached the UK earlier this month. And she's scheduled to return for five additional concerts at the venue in August.

    It was during Taylor's most recent show, which was held on Sunday evening, that she's said to have "swallowed a bug" whilst performing All Too Well (10 Minute Version). Photos and videos have been shared following the performance.

    Footage, shared by attendees on platforms such as TikTok, shows Taylor telling the crowd in the middle of the song: "I swallowed a bug. Can you sing?" She appears to laugh as she continues the chorus, supported by the audience.

    Moments later though, after briefly closing her eyes, Taylor is seen coughing as she steps away from the microphone. The musician is subsequently seen with her hand held up against her throat, as she appears to choke on the stage.

    The Grammy Award winner returns to the microphone with her guitar in hand shortly afterwards and continues with the performance at the venue in the capital city. She's seen smiling and seemingly in good spirits after the incident.

    It isn't the first time that Taylor has shared with fans that she's swallowed a bug on stage. Last year, whilst touring the US, she told a crowd in Chicago: "I swallowed a bug. I'm so sorry." She added: "I'm totally fine. It's just so stupid."

    Some fans noted that it's not the first instance when they reacted to the footage from Wembley Stadium. One person wrote: "Not again!" Another teased: "Has anyone been keeping a bug tally this whole tour?" A third said: "I love how she always lets us know." Someone wrote: "She did it again."

    Taylor latest tour, the Eras Tour, reached the UK earlier this month after having previously visited countries including the US, Japan and Australia. The tour launched in March last year and is scheduled to conclude in December this year.

    She's performed in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and now London in recent weeks, and is set to return to the capital city later this year. Taylor is set to visit to Ireland this week, before performing elsewhere in Europe as part of the tour.

    Amid the ongoing tour, Taylor released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, in April. She surprised fans at the time by also releasing it as a "secret" double album, subtitled the Anthology, which contains fifteen additional songs compared to the standard version.
