Taylor Swift had to make quick adjustments to her Eras Tour costume having faced relentless winds from the Scottish weather during her recent performances in the UK.

The "Guilty As Sin" singer completed three back-to-back shows at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, where the chilly climate proved challenging for Swift.

During the first evening, the 34-year-old singer maintained her signature outfit for The Tortured Poets Department performance, which she first showcased during the recent Paris gigs.

However, as the second and third nights rolled around, Swift added a new twist to her TTPD ensemble.

Drawing inspiration from the attire she flaunted at the Grammy Awards while unveiling the album, she elegantly integrated black gloves into the look.

On the first night, Swift encountered a mishap as her hands seized up while performing on stage.

This unexpected incident prompted her to pause the show as her hand involuntarily contorted into a claw-like position.

The "Fortnight" singer candidly shared that such a thing "never happened before" previously as she struggled through her acoustic set, her hand seemingly locking up while grasping the guitar.

Before breaking into a song, the 14-time Grammy winner said, "Oh God! Hand cramp!" Waving her fingers with fluid grace, Swift added, "I'm so sorry, everyone. This has never happened before, but my hand is frozen. I'm just going to warm it. I'm so embarrassed. My hand's like a claw!"

It appears that gloves have been brought in for the TTPD segment of the event to allow Swift to prepare her hands for the upcoming acoustic performance, during which she showcases her talents on the piano and guitar.

Concluding the Edinburgh performances, Swift is gearing up to board on a journey across the UK.

The first stop on the itinerary is Liverpool, where the "Lover" singer is set to take the stage at Anfield Stadium for a three-night showcase on June 13, 14, and 15. Following this, the tour will go to Wales for a performance at the Principality Stadium on June 18.

Shortly, Swift is scheduled to perform at London's Wembley Arena from June 21 to 23, followed by more shows across Europe. After a short break, Swift will return to the UK for five more fully booked gigs in August, gracing the stage on the from August 15 to 20.
