A fan-run account on X, formerly Twitter, posted a video from the Edinburgh, Scotland, show.
In the clip, Taylor stopped playing her guitar, looking at her hand, which was in a strange position.
“My hand is frozen in a weird cramp. This has never happened before, I’m really sorry,” she said to the audience.
The pop singer was met with cheers and praise from fans as she tried to relieve the pain.
She joked that it was “forming a claw,” which elicited laughter from the more than 70,000 Swifties in attendance.
This isn’t the first time Taylor’s had to stop a performance recently, though it might be the first that it’s been her who had a problem.

SWIFT RESCUE
Taylor’s performance at Murrayfield was impressive, no doubt.
In addition to her unusual and show-stopping minor injury, the pop singer switched into 16 different outfits and performed a medley of her hits.
There were also a number of touching moments, including one in which the Fortnight singer saw one of her fans get down on one knee in a sea of fans while they sang along to her song Cardigan.
“I’m pretty sure I just saw someone who got engaged. Did it happen? Yeah?,” she said.
“Congratulations. Wow. Man that’s amazing. Thank you for doing that at my concert. That’s a big moment. Huge.”
Elsewhere in the show, Taylor paused her performance and refused to continue until an audience member received assistance.
The incident occurred as she played Would’ve Should’ve Could’ve – the same song during which she herself needed a moment.
Taylor strummed her guitar but held off on singing, noticing that someone needed help.

WHO’S THAT?
A short time before touching down in Scotland, Taylor performed a show in Madrid.
The show featured similar theatrics, but fans spotted an odd bonus during the show.
A video posted on TikTok from her performance at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu showed an eerie figure and fans are eager to know what it was.
Theories have popped up online.
One Swiftie joked that it was a fan who “didn’t want to pay for a ticket.”
Others speculated that it was Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, or perhaps her rivals Kanye West and Nicki Minaj.
“Knowing Taylor Swift, she’s probably this, and she’s teasing something,” someone else speculated.
“This is so creepy,” another person posted.
“Dancing phantoms on the terrace,” one user guessed, quoting a line from Taylor’s Tortured Poets Department.
Another concertgoer offered up a simple explanation.
“It was literally a security man, I was near to that section and he was standing there and checking on us all the time,” the wrote.
