Taylor Swift shouts at security as she rushes to defend fan during performance on tour

Global icon, Taylor Swift had to interrupt her show to seemingly give a security guard a grilling.

The 33-year-old pop singer, currently touring her Eras album, has stunned fans in the viral video that was shared online this week.

Swift was in the middle of performing her hit track Bad Blood when she was concerned by the actions unfolding in amongst the crowd.

Based on the outburst, it's assumed that the American singer was provoked by how a member of the security team was acting towards a female fan. In the clip, the award-winning singer can be seen donning a red, shimmery two-piece outfit before becoming distracted by the actions in the audience. The incident caused her to break the song twice to yell: 'Hey, stop!' out to the crowd, adding: 'She wasn't doing anything!' whilst gesturing to go away with her hand.

Fans, who refer to themselves as 'Swifties', have flocked to Twitter to comment on the moment. One avid and dedicated fan wrote: "I could watch this over and over. Taylor defending fans makes me so happy!!"

Another fan who seems to have attended at least one of the shows explained their theory, adding: "Security was really strict about keeping aisles clear during the show yesterday so i wouldn’t be surprised if she was yelling at security."

One fan wrote how they would 'hate to be the security guy that got in trouble with her' to which another Twitter user wrote back: 'immediately fired for sure.'

The video shared by PopCrave on the social media platform has gained over 1.2 million views in just a matter of hours, racking up thousands of retweets and 15k likes.

One fan even theorised that TayTay waited for the perfect moment to yell at the security guard, writing: "She knew she had to call him out during bad blood to make it even better."

Fans have been quick to side with the Shake It Off star, praising her for her dedication towards her loyal following.

Another wrote: "Someone said she was yelling at a security for being too aggressive with a fan? the "stop, she wasn't doing anything" makes sense then. if that's true i think it is SO SWEET of her to be this attentive and defensive over the fans."

There's been recent rumors that Taylor Swift is dating lead singer of The 1975, Matty Healy, following his opening performance for Taylor's Philadelphia show on Friday night.

Matty took to the stage in a skeleton suit and performed a few songs before being spotted later in the crowd by an eagle-eyed fan.
