Taylor Swift Asks Fans to Refrain from Throwing Objects on Stage: "It Really Freaks Me Out"
Singer Addresses Safety Concerns During Eras Tour Performance in Buenos Aires
Taylor Swift asked fans not to throw objects on stage during her Eras Tour performance on Sunday at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires because it "freaks" her out and could cause her to trip over while dancing.
On social media, a video posted by one of Taylor Swift's fan accounts has gone viral. The X (previously Twitter) account posted the video along with the statement, "Taylor very kindly asking the crowd to not to throw things on stage #BuenosAiresTSTheErasTour."

The Anti-Hero singer may be seen playing the piano while wearing an orange dress. She is then stopped by objects thrown into the stage, which forces her to graciously greet her audience. The 33-year-old singer-songwriter added, "And just because communication means having gentle, healthy boundaries-it really freaks me out when stuff gets thrown on the stage."
Taylor agreed that fans use these actions to express their love and gratitude for their favorite musicians, but she expressed concern for the onstage performers' safety in the event that such an act goes wrong.
I appreciate that you brought gifts; it's very kind, but could you please refrain from throwing them onto the platform? A dancer could trip over something if it's on the stage. "I adore you so much," she continued.
Taylor called her decision to begin her South American leg of the tour in Argentina on Sunday "the best decision possible." The Lover singer posted photos from her Buenos Aires live performance to Instagram along with the caption, "I can't even express my gratitude to the Buenos Aires crowds." I had never gone to Argentina before, and we had the most incredible, enchanted experiences there.
She expressed her gratitude to her fans for their unwavering support even after the original Friday performance was rescheduled for Sunday. "We are very grateful to the incredible fans whose event was postponed on Friday; you stunned us on Sunday with your enthusiasm and passion. Rio, see you next weekend! Taylor ended her note with a sign.
