Iconic Eras Tour moment: Taylor Swift’s Bug-Eating Incident Inspires a New Drink

Taylor Swift ate a bug on stage at Soldier Field in Chicago during her Eras Tour. Though she could have prepared for a shift in the schedule or the weather, Swift had no way of anticipating that this bug would be her dinner.

Looks like Swift got a little extra protein during her Eras Tour stop in the Windy City when she accidentally swallowed a bug on stage. The incident quickly went viral, as expected. ““Oh delicious” she chuckled . “Oh, god,” Swift said. Did anyone miss it? She laughed and gagged.

Swift’s iconic moment will now be a drink that fits with her “champagne problems.” Replay Lincoln Park is throwing a “Tay Tay Partay” pop-up to celebrate Swift’s Chicago performances. Pop-up extended to June 18 with a new “Bad Bug” cocktail added to the menu of Swift-inspired drinks. NBC Chicago reports that the “Bad Bug” cocktail has vodka, tamarind, chilli pepper, watermelon, pineapple, and ginger beer, topped with a gummy worm.

T-Swift is killing it in 2023, aside from her fun drinks. The “Anti-Hero” singer announced her Eras Tour in Latin America. “Karma,” the latest single from her successful Midnights album, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the help of the Ice Spice remix.

Swift’s got 9 No. 1 hits on Hot 100 with 40 top 10 entries. She got her first hit with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” in 2012. Taylor Swift has 11 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, from Fearless to Midnights.
