Taylor Swift talks about how she deals with tough days

Swift performed the song “Champagne Problems” from her album “Evermore,” for which she received a standing ovation from the audience at the concert in London. She then talked about how she wants to use this moment as a coping mechanism for difficult days.

She said, “Not only did I record a video of it in my head, but I guarantee my parents just recorded this on their phones,” as reported by Page Six. She further explained that she will use this method as her new coping mechanism on difficult days. She said, “Whenever I have a sad or bad day, not only do I play the video in my head, but I will relive that moment many times. Thank you for allowing us to do this.”

Her London performance was the second night she was back on stage after her shows in Vienna were cancelled because of a planned terrorist attack there. Her last performance before London was in Warsaw.

Swift has remained tight-lipped on the matter.
