Taylor Swift is finally in the United Kingdom and her fans witnessed the pop star's humane side yet another time. During her performance in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Friday, June 7, the singer realized that one of the fans needed assistance.

Swift was in the middle of her performance of the mashup of 'Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve' and 'I Know Places' when she abruptly paused the performance and signaled that the fan required help. 

Until her plea was answered, the 'Lover' singer strummed her guitar and sang, "She’s right there. I’m just gonna keep playing until somebody helps them, I’m gonna be singing this song," adding she was "going to keep talking" about the issue until the issue was resolved. She continued singing, "Just let me know. I can do this all night," getting increasingly frustrated. Finally when the fan was attended to, Swift yelled, “We’re good? Awesome!” before restarting her performance.
