Loving this tour so much because of the passion these crowds put into it all — seriously can’t wait for Atlanta,” Swift, 33, wrote this week on Twitter.She continued: “For those asking how I cut my hand, I’m totally fine and it was my fault completely — tripped on my dress hem and fell in the dark backstage while running to a quick change — braced my fall with my palm.”“It was all very Mercury in retrograde coded.

Taylor Swift has addressed concerns about a potential on-stage injury during the Houston show of her ongoing Eras Tour, after she was spotted bleeding from her hand.The cut seemingly took place in the “era” costume change between 2020’s ‘evermore’ (which closes on ‘tolerate it’) and 2017’s ‘reputation’ (which opens on ‘…Ready For It?’), according to The Independent.The injury was then given a band-aid during the next costume change of the show, where Swift changes into a different dress to perform ‘Enchanted’ from 2010’s ‘Speak Now’.Taking to Twitter, Swift has assured fans that she was “totally fine” and the circumstances that lead to her hand being cut during the show were completely accidental.“For those asking how I cut my hand, I’m totally fine and it was my fault completely – tripped on my dress hem and fell in the dark backstage while running to a quick change,” she explained. “[I] braced my fall with my palm.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift is looking at becoming the first artist to have an exclusive Record Store Day release enter the top 10 of the Billboard 200 album chart when the next results are reported this coming weekend. That’s because nearly all 75,000 domestic copies of her RSD-exclusive double-LP, “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions,” are believed to have sold through within a day of having gone on sale Saturday. Even though the 75,000 copies of “Long Pond Studio Sessions” issued in the U.S. was almost four times as many copies as any RSD release has been issued with before, it was no surprise that it was a hot enough commodity to sell out in a day. The 115,000 copies that went out globally are said to be the only pressing the album will ever receive. While that might be a high quantity for anybody else, it’s worth remembering that Swift’s previous album, “Midnights,” sold about 400,000 copies in its first day out — and that was without the promise that it would never be available again.
