Mucus drips from her nose and she wipes it with her hands and her dress. Taylor Swift sings in the cold in Edinburgh and is the example of (healthy) normality

He had been missing in Scotland for ten years. The fans were in excitement for the three dates of The Eras Tour by Taylor Swift al Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on 7, 8 and 9 June. Everything went as expected, great professional on stage for three hours of concert. The only discordant note is that, due to a disturbance over Scotland, the temperatures in the evening were particularly cold (8 degrees) for early June. The fans present at the stadium suffered as a result, bringing with them sweaters, some even woolen hats. Moreover, being in an open space like the stadium, it was inevitable that unforeseen weather conditions had to be taken into account.

Like her fans, Taylor Swift also suffered from the coldbut in particular because the stage clothes, which were particularly light, did not cover her enough. So it happened that a video went viral in which the queen of world music is seen passing mucus from her nose with her hand nonchalantly and then swiping it over her dress and continuing to sing, as if nothing had happened.

In short, a handful of seconds went viral, but this small gesture – which many of us ‘mere mortals’ have in common – has been criticized on the Web by some users: “how disgusting you put that dripping overalls to wash at least”, “I would have put a handkerchief hidden somewhere” and “mum, this is disgusting”. But the gesture was also understood by many others, also because “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”. A gesture of normality also from what is considered the super diva of music.

In the meantime there is great anticipation for Taylor Swift’s arrival at the San Siro Stadium in Milan for the only two stops in our country of her The Eras Tour, on 13 and 14 July. Certainly the temperature will be much higher than in Edinburgh and these human and understandable “inconveniences” will be avoided.
