(MENAFN) During a Taylor Swift concert in Philadelphia over the weekend, a moment that had nothing to do with her singing went viral. Swift interrupted her performance of "Bad Blood" to address a dispute between a concertgoer and a security guard, capturing the attention of millions. Video clips of the incident garnered widespread attention on social media, generating more than 6 million views on Twitter alone.

Swift's intervention involved her passionately advocating for the concertgoer in question. Yelling into the crowd, she reassured everyone, saying, "She's fine," expressing her apparent frustration with the situation. Swift paused again to emphasize, "She wasn't doing anything," and went on to yell, "Hey, stop," two more times.

Unfortunately, the specific details of the incident leading to Swift's intervention remain unclear from the available social media footage. However, the fan involved was later identified as Kelly Inglis, an elementary school teacher and mother from Maryland. Inglis shared her perspective on the incident in a TikTok video posted to her friend Caitlin Gabell's account. Using the caption "Its me, hi, im the problem," referencing Swift's song "Anti-Hero," Inglis explained that the security guard had been "harassing" her and her group throughout the concert.

According to Inglis, the security guard consistently hovered over them whenever they were dancing or having fun, exhibiting disapproval. Eventually, the guard was escorted out, and the group was offered tickets to the following night's concert as compensation.

CBS News reached out to the concert venue, Lincoln Financial Field, for comment. The stadium responded by stating that the issue had been addressed and resolved internally, without providing further details.

This incident highlights Taylor Swift's willingness to speak out on behalf of her fans and address situations that she deems unfair or unjust. Her actions resonated with fans worldwide, sparking discussions about the treatment of concertgoers and the responsibilities of security personnel at live events.
