Taylor Swift has been seen appearing to yell at security guards at one of her live concerts over their apparent treatment of fans.

The 33-year-old chart-topper has been keeping her legions of fans entertained ever since she kicked off her long-awaited Eras tour. With a setlist of a whopping 44 songs, there is certainly something in there for every Swiftie... Unless you're a big fan of 'Bad Blood'.

You see, fans captured the moment Swift - who is currently in Philadelphia for three shows over Mother's Day weekend - started to break away from her performance in order to yell at somebody in the crowd.

As reported by the Daily Mail, the stunning footage appeared to show Swift yelling as members of the area's security team over their alleged handling of fans in the crowd.

The now-viral video shows the moment Swift gets distracted by whatever is going on in the crowd, as she starts to interrupt her own performance to yell and gesture to the crowd.

"It's fine," she shouts over the edge of the stage, before adding: "She wasn't doing anything!"

"Hey! Stop," Swift then yells, while trying to belt out the chorus. Check out the moment below:

One Twitter user who shared the footage to social media wrote alongside the clip: "Not sure what happened during Bad Blood but it was enough Taylor needed to get involved."

Another concertgoer also shared their view of the incident:

After the footage racked up millions of views, many fans shared their thoughts on Taylor's on-stage actions.

"Whatever happened, I remain impressed by Taylor’s confidence and professionalism," one person tweeted. "To be able to just… do that mid-performance, and then go back to performing. You have to know what you’re doing like the back of your hand and have faith in everything on stage. She is a Performer."

"I could watch this over and over. Taylor defending fans makes me so happy," a second fan added.

Other social media users claiming to be in attendance during Saturday's show have said that the singer was indeed confronting security, but this is unconfirmed.

On a more lighter note, Swift's concerts have provided a lot of joy for those lucky enough to attend. For example, Swift has introduced a whole new take on the stage dive as part of her show.

Last month, footage captured at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, showed Swift doing her best Michael Phelps impression, as she calmly walked on the stage before jumping into a well-hidden trap door.

After diving into the hole, screens then show the 'You Belong With Me' star swimming the length of the stage.

Of course, a stunt this impressive relies on several factors to make it all come together and look flawless - such as the right visuals, sound mixing, stage marking, and timing.

Sadly, during a recent show, Taylor suffered her first botch of the stunt.

Check it out below:

Fan footage shows the moment the singer calmly walks along the stage in a stunning yellow dress, awaiting the trap door on the stage to open so that she can jump in as usual.

However, after the splash noise erupts throughout the area, it is clear that something has gone very wrong - and Swift can be seen slowly walking forward with her head looking down, as if she's looking for her stage mark.

At one point, it even looks like she mouths, "What the f***?!"

After looking around for an awkward moment, she eventually completes the dive - still to adoring cheers from fans. No wonder she's so quick to defend them whenever she needs to.
