During a performance in her sold-out Eras tour, Taylor Swift suddenly started coughing, claiming that a bug had flown into her mouth and that she had swallowed it. She took this matter into her hands and concluded that the bug tasted delicious, showing that Taylor Swift is just like us.
At first, she was embarrassed, asking her fans if they saw it coming, but then she reassured them that she was ok.
“Is there any chance that none of you saw that?” she asked, then reassured the crowd that she was uninjured. “It’s fine; it’s all — I’ve swallowed it.”
People also may have eaten bugs, so it isn’t as bizarre as it seems.
“Bugs are everywhere,” says Jerome Grant, an entomology professor at the University of Tennessee. “They’re part of our lives. They’re not going anywhere, and we’re not going anywhere, so we have to learn to live with them, even if it means swallowing them sometimes.
Eating and swallowing insects is completely harmless since we can naturally digest and ingest insects. Some people may get allergies from insects, but not on a vast scale. Arthropoda is the allergy most commonly related to bugs, which means “jointed appendages.”
In addition, swallowing a bug has become a repetitive event. Cyclists and motorbikers may inhale a bug or two.
But the most amazing thing is the way Taylor dealt with it, Grant said. She didn’t overreact but instead turned it into a joke. This may show that swallowing bugs isn’t an exaggerated problem and happens occasionally.
