Taylor Swift Sparks Debate After 'Eating Boogers' During Freezing Edinburgh Performance

Swifties launched a heated debate on social media after videos of Taylor Swift wiping her snot and flicking it onstage became viral.

In Swift's defense, she has to perform amid the freezing weather in Edinburgh, which local weather bureaus reported to have hit as low as 48 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

In videos currently spreading on X, formerly Twitter, Swift seemed to either wipe her snot on her dress, flick it elsewhere, or even slurp it at one point.

Many slammed Swift for doing that onstage, with some suggesting she do it privately or at least take the time between performances to wipe it out properly.

"i've seen 3 different videos of taylor wiping or licking her boogers in the past 30 minutes, she needs to take some tissues with her up on that stage," a user suggested.

"this video of taylor swift eating her boogers and throwing snot on the stage keeps popping up. honestly, eat ur boogers in private idc but on stage is insane," one declared.

"That Taylor swift video is so gross. How does someone produce that much snot? Why are there so many instances of it? Why not just keep kleenex on stage or something? Just holding it like, licking it, ugh," another protested.

However, not all are disgusted by Swift; some claim that it's perfectly human for her to do that, especially given the unanticipated cold weather.

"you know what? f**k all of you judging the taylor swift snot video. she was freezing and like she probably beat herself up inside for that. she literally did that in front of 70,000+ people. leave her alone. also all of you need to stop acting like you don't want to eat it," a fan posted.

"Taylor Swift is one of the most impactful artists of our time because she can have snot dripping down her nose in front of 70,000 people and not miss a beat," another mused.

The cold bothered Swift during her Edinburgh concerts; at one point, she had to add gloves to her Vivienne Westwood outfit to warm herself. She also got hand cramps due to the freezing weather.

"Oh God! Hand cramp!" Swift said, Page Six reported. "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!"
