Watch: Taylor Swift's 'Gay' Lyric Sunburned on Fan's Chest
Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 2 MIN.
One Swiftie is back from attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour performance in Cincinnati on July 1 with the ultimate souvenir.
After decorating her chest with lyrics from the song "You Need to Calm Down," which included the word "gay," a sunburn left the lyrics branded in her chest, reported the New York Post.
Posting the results of her lyrical sunburn to TikTok, the fan, who goes by @saccharinesylph, shared: "When you decide to write 'You Need to Calm Down' lyrics on your chest for Eras Tour Cincinnati night 2 and weren't thinking about the sun."

Luckily, she seemed to have a sunny disposition about the whole thing. The video has over 391,000 views and has been flooded with comments as one TikTok user announced: "This is hands down the BEST thing I've seen on this app."
Another user added, "Ok but at least it's the best lyrics of the best song ever 😂😍."
The complete lyrics go, "shade never made anybody less gay." The Swiftie who had the lyrics sunburned into her chest complemented the lyrics by wearing a rainbow-colored dress with the lyrics done in glittery blue.
Other concert-goers revealed that they were going through similar skin mishaps because of the timing of the performance, which started earlier to avoid bad weather, leaving fans exposed to the sun longer.
"I have 'I don't dress for men' on my arm because of the same thing 😂😂," a commentator shared under the video.
The burn is luckily only temporary, but the memory is forever.
