The star was performing "Bad Blood" on stage at Lincoln Financial Field Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, when she spotted something in the crowd that bothered her. It seems a fan had come to the attention of an overzealous security guard but Swift didn't think there was a problem and stopped singing to yell: "She's fine!"
The moment, which was captured on camera, showed the star shouting from the stage: "She wasn't doing anything!"
Seamlessly slipping back into "Bad Blood," Swift kept her eye on what was going on and returned to the edge of the stage as she shouted: "Hey! Stop!"
...
It was later discovered that the fan having the run-in with the security guard was elementary school teacher Kelly Inglis Kelly, who had been dancing in the front row with her friends.
"He kept telling me to stop. He kept telling me to like calm down and not to dance. And I guess she noticed and she yelled at him and told him to leave me alone and that I wasn't doing anything wrong," Kelly told Good Morning America.
Swift is known for being very connected to her fans and Kelly said the moment meant so much to people because it showed Swift "has our back."
She told the Daily Mail that the guard was being "very strict." She added that the security guard didn't want people taking photos in front of the stage.
"I know Taylor Swift - she wants people to come to her shows and have fun. I wasn't doing anything outrageous, I wasn't trying to get to the other side of the barrier," Kelly said.
The teacher also said that she got free tickets to return for the final Eras Tour concert in Philadelphia.
