Taylor Swift has become the latest performer to have been hit with objects from the crowd in recent weeks.

Taylor Swift fans were left furious after a concert-goer threw an object at her during her Eras Tour. The Enchanted singer is one of many celebrities who have been physically hurt by fans throwing objects, including phones, at them on tour.

Harry Styles, Bebe Rexha, and Drake have all been smacked with objects during concerts in recent weeks.

As she was leaving the stage, fans started to throw friendship bracelets at the All Too Well singer. Swift, who was surrounded by security, was seen ducking as fans threw the objects from their seats.

It may have been well-intended, but the fans have been slated by others online. Many agreed that they may not have intended on hurting the singer, but throwing objects at a human isn’t acceptable, especially in if the singer was hurt.

“Stop throwing things at your favourite artists. I can assure you they don’t enjoy it,” one said.

Another added: “Seriously people need to stop throwing stuff. Idc if it’s a friendship bracelet that weighs less than a pound. They act as though Taylor Swift is gonna pick it up off the floor and ask them to be besties on the spot. It’s just very disrespectful.”

A third person stressed: “Please stop throwing stuff at the artists. if you are a real fan in your right mind, your priority is their safety and not get hurt. this should not be normalized.”

The incident comes after singer Harry Styles was hit in the face during his show in Austria.

The singer was performing on July 8th when a fan fired an object at the singer’s face.

He bent over in pain and was seen clutching his face with his hands during the performance.
