STOCKHOLM − Taylor Swift paused her acoustic set of the Eras Tour to check in with the audience after fans seemingly tried to get her attention.
The singer asked on the mic, "Someone in the front row, can you tell me yes or no to this question: When you guys are putting a bunch of flashlights up in a group, does that mean people need help?"
"We're at the end of the night, so if I see that again, I'm gonna try to point it out. I just didn't know if you were … waving at me," Swift continued.
Taylor Swift Updates or @SwiftNYC shared footage of the moment on X as well. "Taylor checking on her fans and if they were okay just before she started the acoustic set tonight," they captioned the social media post.
Several audience members were taken to the medical area during the final night of the Eras Tour in Stockholm, Sweden, at the Friends Arena. Many service and safety workers, between the audience barricade and the stage, handed out cups to fans with free water.

Free water stations could also be found lining the floor of the open arena. Cold water bottles were for sale, too.

Heat has been an issue for the Eras Tour after a fan died in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil due to heat exhaustion back in November.
"I can't believe I'm writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show," Swift posted in an Instagram message several hours after the show at the time. "I can't even tell you how devastated I am by this. There's very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young. I'm not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it. I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil."
Pyrotechnics that used to surround the stage and go off during "Bad Blood" have been downsized to 12 flame projectors that are only on the main stage under the screen.

Outside of the stadium, the chill temperature of Stockholm was in the high fifties.
Swift heads to Lisbon, Portugal next week for three nights where temperatures will be in the mid-70s.
