In case you missed it...
Taylor Swift got injured during her Eras tour at her show in Houston this weekend. Swift took to social media last to explain what happened, and reassure fans that she was doing ok. "I cut my hand, I’m totally fine and it was my fault completely - tripped on my dress hem and fell in the dark backstage while running to a quick change - braced my fall with my palm. It was all very Mercury in retrograde coded. Don’t worry about me I’m gooooood," Swift posted on Twitter. Fans were a bit confused at first because they saw a pictures of her with the cut, but Swift was able to perform the rest of the show and received medical attention as well. Despite the injury, Taylor plans to continue the tour.
In hindsight, perhaps he should have croaked his way through the show. Morgan Wallen waited until the last possible second Sunday night - the crowds had filed in, the opening acts had already played - before breaking the news to the waiting crowd: show's cancelled. The fans were informed via in-house electronic signs: "Ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately, Morgan has lost his voice and is unable to perform tonight. Therefore, tonight’s show has been canceled. Please make your way safely to the stadium exits. Refunds for tonight’s event will be available at point of purchase." Head to Instagram or Twitter, and fans had plenty to say. A quick scan of social media had most fans that planned to attend the concert unforgiving, and several different rumors were gaining traction claiming the problem was not the singer's voice but other issues. In related news, a suit has already been filed over the cancellation. The attorney, Casey Lott, filed the suit on behalf of all affected patrons "who incurred expenses in connection with Wallen’s failure to perform." The class action is asking for, among other things, reimbursement for all expenses for class members at the show. This could include lodging, transportation, tickets, merchandise, and food. The complaint also lists John Does; this allows the victims to come back at a later date and name future defendants in the suit. It was announced last night that Wallen has been put on vocal rest, and has had to postpone his next three shows: in Michigan (April 27), Illinois (April 28) and Nebraska (April 29). In a statement related to the postponements, Wallen said, "Y’all know how important my fans are to me, so I feel horrible about this news. There’s nothing more I want to do than be on stage playing for you guys," he shared on his Instagram story. "But as of today, I’m on doctor-ordered vocal rest, and we have to reschedule this week’s shows. I appreciate and understand everything you do to get to my shows, so, it would be unfair of me to put on a show that I know will not be 100%. I’m doing everything I can to speed up the process of getting to that 100% mark."
