‘I f***ed up’: Taylor Swift fan reveals how the singer’s ‘gay’ lyrics got SUNBURNED across her chest during Eras Tour show
A Taylor Swift super fan has revealed how she wrote the lyrics to one of her favorite songs on her chest only to then discover the word ‘gay’ had been sunburned onto her. Lilly Higgs took to TikTok to share that her love for the popstar – who is currently selling out stadiums during her Eras Tour – ended up backfiring.
The Ohio-based Swiftie noted that she wrote the lyrics to her favorite song You Need To Calm Down along her chest prior to attending the Cincinnati concert. However, Lilly didn’t take into account any sun rays and has now been branded with the word ‘gay’ on her chest. Lilly took to the video-sharing platform to detail her unfortunate experience.
She captioned the clip: ‘When you decide to write You Need to Calm Down lyrics on your chest for Eras Tour Cincinnati night two and weren’t thinking about the sun.’ The super fan then showed herself before the concert as she sported a rainbow-colored dress. She wrote the words, ‘Shade never made anyone less gay,’ across her chest in blue, glittery paint.
The lyrics are from the hit song You Need to Calm Down, which is featured in the singer’s seventh album, Lover. Lilly noted that she meant to write the word ‘anybody’ when other fans criticized her getting the lyrics wrong. After showing the aftermath of branding herself with the lyrics, Lilly said: ‘Oh I’ve f***ed up.’
Viewers couldn’t contain their laughter and flooded the comments section, many even shared similar experiences. One person said: ‘I saw a video of this happening to someone at pride and the words were still on them a year later.’ Another user added: ‘I’m so sorry, I am actually wheezing over this.’ ‘Bestie, this is hysterical,’ commented another person. Someone else wrote: ‘This is absolutely iconic though
