There's yet another thing to fuel the Swiftie mania taking the world by storm right now, with Taylor Swift getting emotional during an 'abnormal' eight-minute standing ovation at one of her Eras tour concerts.

The 'Anti-Hero' singer kicked off her eagerly-anticipated tour a few months back (17 March) and is now well into the journey of taking on a whopping 52 shows across the United States.

And the latest tour antics follow Swift basking in a 'deeply abnormal and beautiful' moment during her latest stop in Los Angeles, California. Check it out:

The Eras tour marks the sixth headlining concert tour by the 'Bad Blood' star after having not toured for her studio albums Lover, Folklore and Evermore due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

So, it makes total sense why Swifties all over rushed at the chance to see their idol in the flesh on the stage performing hits from all 10 of her albums, including her latest, Midnights.

Crowd footage from Tuesday's concert (8 August) at the SoFi Stadium saw the pop icon nearly speechless after the adoring audience gave her a standing ovation for nearly eight whole minutes.

Following the immense crowd reaction, Swift directly addressed her fans in a heartfelt speech.

Swift called the crowd reaction 'insane' and 'crazy'.

"What do I say to you after that?" she asked the crowd. "That was so deeply abnormal and beautiful. I don't know what to do or say."

The 'Cruel Summer' hit-maker went on: "I think it's safe to say that I, like all people, will experience a certain amount of emotional downward spirals throughout the course of the rest of my life and in those moments, you can rest assured I'm gonna think about what you just did.

"And I'm gonna feel better. So thank you."

She went on to dub the whole experience as 'insane' and 'crazy'.

"I'm going to spend several decades trying to figure out words for how that just made me feel," Swift revealed.

She continued to joke: "I'm trying to get it together. I've completely lost control over my brain and that's your fault. That's all your fault!"

Swift concluded the touching speech telling the crowd: "I'm just gonna float through the rest of the show, so thanks for that."

The Eras tour has also made headlines for a whole bunch of other reasons including fans causing a 2.3 magnitude 'earthquake' during her 'Shake It Off' performance in Seattle as well as forking out a staggering $55 million in bonuses to everyone working on her massive show.
