Taylor Swift fan, 18, thinks he was ripped off after he couldn’t go to Liverpool concert

A teenage girl believes she was blown up after being left incoherent and unable to attend Taylor Swift’s Anfield show. Grace McAleavy, 18, felt the onset of confusion and slurred speech as she enjoyed Swift’s ‘1989’ set at Liverpool Stadium last Friday.

Despite not consuming alcohol before the show, Grace suddenly felt nauseous as Taylor began her performance. Her condition deteriorated rapidly; she began slurring her words and lost the ability to walk, leading her to suspect that she had been blown up during the sold-out event.

Grace described her ordeal: “I was presenting myself as someone who had way too much to drink – I was slurring my words. I couldn’t understand what anyone was saying, even when they were trying to ask me very simple questions.”

She continued, detailing her symptoms: ‘I was shaking non-stop and was strangely cold – they couldn’t take my pulse because of how cold my hands were. It was mentioned that maybe I had a bug or something, but I didn’t. I haven’t been sick since the concert.”

The aftermath of the incident left Grace feeling hungover, requiring an extended period of sleep and leaving her feeling disconnected from her body, unwilling to engage in activities, reports Wales Online.

Grace, who also attended Swift’s concert on Thursday, remains unsure of the method used to swallow her, but suspects her drink may have been tampered with rather than injected with a substance.

The teenager expressed concern that the lid of her stadium cup was larger than the straw, allowing someone to tamper with her drink. Grace, from Leigh, Greater Manchester, said: “My friend checked my body for things like small bruises but with my outfit and tights it was quite hard to tell.”

“I don’t have anything that looks like I was injected, I had a bruise on my leg but there was no hole in the middle. I think drink would be a more likely option.”

“The cups had a lid but the hole was bigger than the straw, which I noticed at the same time. I thought it was very strange because normally if I give you a lid and a straw, then it fits perfectly. I can’t imagine that someone might have injected me without leaving a trace, but you never know.”

After posting videos on TikTok about what happened, Grace received messages from others who had similar experiences. She recounted: “I’ve had people text me and comment, giving me details of the experience they’ve had.”

“We’ve had comments from people saying they thought something like this happened to people they went to the show with.”

Now, after being a Swiftie for around five years, Grace insists she would only feel safe at concerts if her boyfriend accompanied her. Reflecting on the incident, she said: “I feel better now and I’m lucky it could have been a lot worse because people were in a much worse state compared to me.”

“But I think things could have been different. I don’t think I would go to a concert without my boyfriend present in the future.” Anfield Stadium has been contacted for a response.
