Taylor Swift chokes on another bug onstage as she performs ‘All Too Well’ in London

Taylor Swift — once again — accidentally swallowed a bug on stage during her Eras Tour concert.

The 34-year-old singer was belting out the chorus to the 10-minute version of “All Too Well” on Sunday night when she accidentally choked on a critter.

Swift stopped singing momentarily after the bug flew into her mouth, telling the audience, “I just swallowed a bug, keep singing.”

Although the 14-time Grammy winner barely missed a beat, she leaned over and began coughing during a pause in the song.

The “Cruel Summer singer, who stepped away from her microphone, was seen clutching her throat while trying to get it out of her system.

However, once the rest of the chorus began, Swift hopped right back on the microphone as if nothing happened.

The pop star found herself in the same situation around this time last year while performing at Soldier Field in Chicago. 

The pop star, 34, was in the middle of singing “All Too Well” when the incident happened.
Despite keeping her composure at first, she then leaned over and started coughing while clutching her throat.

During her “Evermore” set, the singer alerted fans that she “swallowed a bug” and needed to take a minute.

“Oh, delicious,” she said with a laugh. “Oh, God. Is there any chance that none of you saw that?”

After a cough attack, the singer joked, “So I’m just gonna try not to do as many of those. This is gonna happen again tonight. There’s so many bugs. There’s a thousand of them. Anyway, this has been fun.” 

While Swift was able to avoid the bugs during her last year on tour, they finally got the best of her during her final show in London.

However, the incident was only one small mishap during her otherwise flawless — and unexpected — final show in England.

The hitmaker shocked the crowd when she brought boyfriend Travis Kelce on stage for a short skit amid the “Tortured Poet’s Department” set.

The crowd erupted when they realized Kelce, 34, was amongst Swift’s dancers dressed in a custom tuxedo and top hat.

He then scooped her up in his arms and carried her across the stage, where the other dancers helped her out of her gown and into a white sparkling bralette and high-waisted bottoms.

Swift subtly blew the NFL star a kiss as she turned to sing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

On Monday, the singer reflected on the now-viral moment while recapping the “surreal” shows in her old stomping grounds.

“I’m still cracking up/swooning over @killatrav’s Eras Tour debut 🥰 Never going to forget these shows,” she captioned various photos and videos, three of which featured Kelce.

The three-time Super Bowl champion, who started dating the singer last summer, attended all three of her London concerts.

The Kansas City Chiefs star was joined by brother Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, for the first two shows. Other celebrities in attendance included Tom Cruise, Sophie Turner, Paul McCartney, Ashton Kutcher and even Prince William and his kids.

Kelce and Swift celebrated the successful three-day run with some friends at Chiltern Firehouse, which lasted until the wee hours of the morning.
