An uninvited - and unpaid - guest stole the spotlight for a sick beat at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in Chicago, and the singer wasn't quite... Ready for It.
The "Lavender Haze" singer was performing her "Evermore" set at Soldier Field when she suddenly stopped, turned away from the audience and began to cough.
After a moment, she shared with her Swifties what transpired.
"I just swallowed a bug. I’m so sorry.”
She continued trying to hack up the intruder, quipping:
“It’s just so stupid."
“Oh, delicious."
Swift then asked her fans:
“Is there any chance none of you saw that?”
Unfortunately for the "Bad Blood" singer—and for the bug—they did, and the incident was captured and shared to social media.
You can watch the moment in all its glory below.

Though the event inevitably did not end well for the bug, people on social media were jealous of the insect nonetheless.

We're glad TSwift was able to Shake It Off and come out the other end unscathed.
The bug on the other hand...
