In a statement to the media, the 34-year-old pop sensation had previously assured her fans that she would take the stage regardless of being sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed. 

This dedication was evident in Singapore, where she continued singing despite frequent coughing and throat clearing.

According to Taylor Swift, the only thing that would stop her performance is "some sort of force majeure.

According to the Mirror,  PR expert Kieran Elsby explained that this term refers to situations beyond her control, such as illness or extreme weather, that would make performing impossible or unsafe.

He explained: "It seems to refer to situations beyond her control, such as illness or extreme weather, which would render performing impossible or unsafe. Legally, 'force majeure' denotes circumstances that prevent contractual obligations from being fulfilled."

Taylor Swift claimed that performance was part of her identity

In an interview with Time magazine, Taylor said that playing shows is an integral part of her identity. 

She added, "If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure."

However, the PR expert cautioned that there are potential drawbacks to such a statement. He highlighted the subjective nature of 'force majeure,' which may invite scrutiny if cancellations occur for less exceptional reasons.
