Summary
At one of Taylor Swift’s UK Eras Tour dates, a 64-year-old guy was charged with voyeurism.
Authorities in Scotland said that the suspect was caught and charged with voyeurism during the event on June 8 at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.
“A 64-year-old man was arrested and charged with voyeurism crimes that happened at Murrayfield during the event on June 8,” said Superintendent David Happs.
“He was let go with the promise to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court later.”
They also told Metro.co.uk that the suspect is a guy called Andrew Hunter, who was born in 1960.
UK law says that voyeurism is when someone gets sexual pleasure from watching or recording someone doing something private. It has to be against the law for it to be a crime.
Sex crimes were made illegal in 2003, and the Voyeurism Offences Act 2019 makes it even worse.
Swift began her Eras tour in the UK with three straight nights at Murrayfield in Edinburgh.
With 73,000 people, the stadium was full to its brim. It was the most crowded stadium event in Scottish history.
This news comes right after Taylor sent a thank-you message to her Scottish fans after three sold-out shows.
She wrote “Edinburgh!!!” under pictures from the shows. This weekend, you really blew me away.
There were more people than ever before at a stadium show in Scotland three times in a row. Thank you for making us feel right at home. I love all 220,000 of you!!!
These shows were the first of 15 during the tour that will happen in the UK.
Swift is going to be on stage in Edinburgh, Cardiff, London, and Liverpool in the next few weeks. Each city will have a huge crowd.
At 8 p.m., the show started, and fans went crazy as the singer of “Shake It Off” played songs from all of her albums.
The claimed voyeur wasn’t the only problem in Edinburgh, though.
The superstar stopped singing “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” from the Midnights record when she realized one of her fans needed help right away.
SnapChat videos of Swift saying, “Need help right in front of me, right in front of me please.”I can see her right in front of me. We’re going to keep playing until we figure out where it is. I’m just going to play until someone helps them, and then I’ll keep singing the song.
“I don’t think anyone has seen them yet, but they will because we’re not going to sing anymore. We’re just going to talk about the people in front of me who need help.” I can do this all night, just let me know when!
In the end, staff helped the person in the crowd, and the singer said, “OK, you’re good?” SUPER COOL!’ After which they went right back into the song.
The specifics of the voyeurism case are still not clear, but one thing is for sure: the Swifties are one group of fans you don’t want to mess with.
Scots Police have been asked to react by Metro.co.uk.
