Taylor affirmed that she had seen clips of Scott stopping concerts to help fans contrary to what the media was pushing.

She claimed that social media was simply amplifying clips that made it seem like Scott was irresponsible.

She believes that other parties like venue staff and security had huge roles to play in maintaining peace.

She was highly praised by fans for doing the right thing.
