Taylor Swift Addresses Hand Injury During Eras Tour
Taylor Swift is addressing a hand injury she sustained during a recent concert. The 33-year-old singer took to Twitter on Monday (April 24) to reveal how she cut her hand in the middle of her Eras Tour show.
“For those asking how I cut my hand,” Taylor’s tweet read. “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. Don’t worry about me I’m gooooood.”
So good, in fact, that Swift’s post recalled the three “insane shows” she just wrapped in Houston, Texas, noting, “I’m waking up smiling reminiscing about how much fun we all had.” She wrote, “Loving this tour so much because of the passion these crowds put into it all – seriously can’t wait for Atlanta.”
