Taylor Swift fans defend singer after people spot ‘x-rated detail’ on her body

With Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in full swing, fans are looking back at some of the most iconic moments so far - including a debate about a potentially 'x-rated' mark on her body.

Following the release of Swift's latest album, The Tortured Poets Department on 19 April, fans have been hanging on to the singer's every word.

The expansive Eras Tour kicked off in March 2023 and won't wrap up until December this year, and I'm tired just thinking about how tired she must be.

There have been ample memorable moments during the tour, including her boyfriend Travis Kelce joining her on stage in London - dressed in a full suit - and her dad, Scott, handing out chicken tenders mid-show, to the total delight of her fans.

But there's one moment that seems to have stood out more than the rest... and that's been Swifties working out whether or not the 'Bad Blood' hitmaker was sporting a love bite while singing at her piano.

Back in May, the 34-year-old star performed at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, and a load of fans were convinced they had spotted a hickey on Swift's neck.

But a larger number of Swifties were quick to leap to the singer's defence, pointing out it could just as easily have been a burn from hair straighteners (been there), or a scratch from one of her many costume changes, or even some smudged lipstick.

Anything that Swift does prompts a whole load of conversation among her fanbase, but this was definitely up there with one of the most talked-about moments of the tour.

After a fan posted footage to TikTok with the caption: "Someone's feeling 'So High School' with a hickey."

The video subsequently went viral and prompted a deluge of comments.

One person wrote: "Yall need to calm down it could literally be a scratch from a costume change. If it was a hickey her team would’ve covered it."

Another said: "It’s probably a burn. Taylor’s too classy for that. She’d hide it."

But not everyone was so convinced - or thought it was anything to be ashamed of.

One fan commented: "So? I mean normal people have hickeys but bc Taylor swift has one it’s a big deal?"

Someone else added: "DAYUM GORLY!!! LOVIN LOUDLY AND IM HERE FOR IT."

While a third chimed: "It’s probably a burn but I wanna believe it’s a hickey."
