Taylor Swift is the latest artist to have objects thrown at her during a concert. Swift, who is currently on The Eras Tour, received a few friendship bracelets from fans as she exited backstage at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Saturday. Just that the bracelets were thrown at her.
Swift, seemingly ducked as they were tossed her way from above and her security immediately came in front of the stage urging fans to stop as they tried to catch them.
Right before the bracelets were thrown, Swift could be seen in the video waving at fans shortly after finishing off the show with her hit song 'Karma'from her latest album.
Fans online criticised the moment after it was shared on Twitter. "The security guards were BLOCKING," one user wrote. "They deserve a raise."
"Seriously people need to stop throwing stuff. Idc if it's a friendship bracelet that weighs less than a pound. They act as though Taylor Swift is gonna pick it up off the floor and ask them to be besties on the spot. It's just very disrespectful."
"please stop throwing stuff at the artists," another user wrote. "if you are a real fan in your right mind, your priority is their safety and not get hurt. this should not be normalized."
One wrote, "I just hope that someday this trend of throwing stuff at entertainers don't get them hurt."
This is not the first time that things have been thrown at an artist during a concert. Harry Styles, Kelsea Ballerini and Ariana Grande have all been hit with items thrown onstage during their performances.
Adele have even given fans an expletive-filled warning about throwing items at her.
"Have you noticed how people are like forgetting f---ing show etiquette at the moment because [they're] throwing s--- on stage? Have you seen them?" Adele said while onstage during her Las Vegas residency.
"I f---ing dare you. Dare you throw something at me and I'll f---ing kill you," the pop star warned.
There has been a lot of conversation about the dangers of objects being thrown at artists in recent months after pop star Bebe Rexha was hit in the face with a phone while performing in June. The singer was hospitalised after the incident.
Days later, she shared photos of her injury on social media showcasing a cut near her eyebrow and a black eye. "I'm good," she assured fans.

When she returned to the stage to continue her tour, Rexha urged fans not to throw phones at her face."Are we going to have a good show tonight? Yes, we f---ing are. Can we let people slow us down, Philly? No. Just no phones at my face tonight please, I beg of you. Thank you, Philly," she said.
