what it's REALLY like at a taylor swift concert || tips for the eras tour from a veteran swiftie

[@jillianpaskvan2843]

I was in the nosebleeds with my wonderful mother for red, reputation, and 1989. I’m probably not gonna make it to the eras tour because of the ticket fiasco, but I promise as long as your sole concern isn’t meeting Taylor, you will have a blast. Taylor concerts are literally the best and I am so lucky to have gone to any at all. I’ve always been able to see the screen and she always makes comments to the upper bowl. It feels like she wants everyone to be seen. Don’t worry if nosebleeds were all you could get, because the show will still be fantastic. This is a lovely video and will be very helpful for first time concert goers.

[@reese5859]

thank you for this comment! I got nosebleeds for the eras tour and I was worried it wouldn’t be as fun, but this gave me reassurance

[@lindaramirez1852]

So I unfortunately was sick and got a email unfortunately didn’t see that there was another chance to buy tickets but I missed it but I’m seeing semi close tickets come to 530 each and I do want close ones so hopefully I can get some but if you don’t mind I’m sure you can get nose bleeds for 180

[@genevievermore7930]

She also did a mashup of Long Live and New Years’ Day during the Rep tour and I cried. It was such a beautiful moment hearing her love letter to her fans and band mixed with her love letter to Joe. So powerful. I’m hoping we get some really clever, great mashups for Eras.

[@yairethcastro71596]

I also think the transition from love story to you belong with me was so flawless during the reputation tour. I only watched it on Netflix, the eras tour is the first tour I’ll be able to go to since being a fan since speak now 😂 I’m so excited

[@raylynne5280]

I've had 3 dreams now that she does a mashup of Dear John and Would've Could've Should've and I'm really hoping she does that, commented on another video and the creator replied saying let's manifest that idea so gonna throw it out there again, let's make it happen!!

[@lea2767]

I honestly don’t want her to sing either song… she hasn’t sung dear john since the speak now tour and I think she’s done that for a reason. I think that relationship truly traumatised her which becomes quite obvious in would’ve could’ve should’ve

[@marissaharvey3223]

Here is one tip that I found out the hard way during a rep concert. BRING EAR PLUGS. I was in seats in the section in front of the nosebleeds and the music was deafening. My mom went to get earplugs and there was one girl who apparently burst her eardrum because the music was so loud. Cut your ears some slack with those. You can still hear the music just fine.

My family and I have been Swifties since her first album, but unfortunately due to financial problems we've never been able to go to any of her concerts. We almost went to Red, but we didn't end up getting tickets, and I'm really glad that we got tickets for the Eras Tour because I've always wanted to see her in concert and I thought we'd have to wait until her next tour because of all the Ticketmaster issues, but we managed to snag some nosebleeds. I haven't watched the video yet but I'd just like to thank you for posting this video to help out people like my family, who aren't prepared for this tour in the way that others who have been to her tours before are. I really appreciate it.

[@hanyue6174]

was fortunately to work at 2 of her earlier concerts, speak now and 1989. from what i remmeber the 1989 Tour also had the band where it'll light up during a song or something like that. Not sure how the american arenas are like, but from what i remember with both the 1989 Tour and Speak now its always best to sit in the middle as Taylor's shows have been pretty visual. If she ever comes back to Australia i'll be working at Eras tour as she tends to play at larger venues now

I saw Taylor for the first time at the reputation tour. Then once lover fest “came around” I had bought tickets for lover fest east night 2 because I was very fortunate to have lived about an hour drive away from Gillette stadium. Obviously that didn’t end up happening, (thanks pandemic) and now I have tickets for night 1 at Gillette once again for the Era’s tour!

[@AndrezzaCaroline17]

I love your Instagram, and it’s amazing that you have a KZbin channel as well 😊 I’ve been a Taylor fan since 2008, but the eras tour will be my first concert of hers. I used to live in Brazil, and she never went there on tour. ( I have old videos on my KZbin from 2009 when I used to sing my versions of Taylor’s songs in Portuguese lol I’m glad I’ve never deleted them, even though it’s so embarrassing to watch them now. Taylor is a big part of my life, and it's so good to find other swifties like you 😊 )

[@lisjonas1]

I've been a fan since Fearless but have never had the chance to see her in concert because I don't live in the US. This time I pulled the trigger and bought tickets for opening night and second night (we'll be at the same show, yay) I spent $500 for 2 decent nosebleeds each night, on sections 419 and 415, rows 7 and 6 respectively. Definitely very pricey at $250 each, for any other artist I wouldn't pay more than $70. Though I wish I could've found something closer to the stage and just go one nigh, I spent weeks searching and talking to scammers so eventually I gave up and told myself is best to be there than not at all. I can't leave it to luck to find a ticket later since I have to book flights and my stay so figured I'd treat myself to the two shows, since I was willing to spend more $$ on one single ticket. I really hope this will be an amazing experience even with those seats and going alone! All I want is to see Taylor in concert and Eras tour will be epic, I'm sure of that.

[@finevindicatedmess]

It's 3/15/2023. I cannot believe I'm about 48 hours from seeing Taylor Swift live for the first time. I am going to be fully transparent and honest (at the risk of a million Swifties pouncing on me like her cats Meredith and Olivia): I have gone from casual Taylor fan in middle school, to spending my teen years writing off Taylor as being too mainstream. I think I had a full blown perspective change around the time All Too Well (The Ten Minute Version) came out, and as a writer myself, my perspective totally changed about her when she won the AMA award for Artist of the Decade. Well, fast forward to a few months ago. I told my cousin I had the cutest little maroon swing dress for the Eras tour. She said it was too big for her, but she offered me her second ticket. And since that moment, I have been listening to her songs. I think my cousin officially gave me the push to _finally_ become a brand-new Swiftie, but Enchanted definitely was the catalyst. I will definitely not know all the words to all the songs, but I promise I will absolutely be treasuring every single second. I was never supposed to live in Arizona in the first place -- life kinda had a way of magically bringing me here -- and I never thought I would get to spend such a magical moment with one of my favorite human beings. "Hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you." My god, have I mentioned how much I'm _crying_ just in anticipation?

[@solenebureau6042]

I'm French, so I don't have tickets as she did not announce international dates yet, but I have many questions: first thing first, I did not go to the Rep stadium tour because Taylor did not come to France, and I wasn't a swiftie before, so how much are the tickets? Like for lower or upper bowl seats for example? - Also, are you allowed to come without an adult if you are a minor? The majority is 18 in France so do I have to be accompanied if I'm less than 18? Do you recommend coming with an adult anyway, even if I'm with friends (probably minors)? - Does she tour in winter (like for the international tour... could it be in winter? or will she wait until the following spring/summer?)? because stadiums are open so it might be cold for people attending AND for her I think? If she doesn't, is it getting really hot during the concert in summer, and if yes, do you recommend having a costume that's not like too big or something so you're not too hot? Or is it okay? Are the stadiums airconditioned? - Ik there is a lot of ppl coming but I never went to a concert THAT big so is it really necessary to come like 3 or 4 hours before the beginning of the show? Is it really hard to get in when everybody's there? Why? Arent seats like named or something? Thanks for any answer 😂

[@loonydoralupin124]

So I didn't Attend the eras tour for the same reason you didn't, but I Went to a few big concerts so I try to answer this. For the first one it's Important to ask people in the EU who attended because you can't compare America and EU. If you're a minor you have to Be accompanied by an adult however you Are sometimes allowed to go on your own(Depends on artist and the french policy) In germany you have to be accompanied by someone over sixteen so if you're under sixteen, so in this case it would Depend on how Old your friends Are. But I Would recommend having someone with you(Not necesarily an adult) I Don't think That she'll tour in Winter. Concert in summer tend to be really Hot especially in pit. Costumes shouldn't be a big Deal if you Keep the possible temperature and your comfort in mind. So I recommend coming a few hours before because of traffic and the Parking Situation. Also if you have Pit Tickets you have to come a few hours before to get a Good Spot. Seats are Reserved for you but it's better to arrive early and Not with the Other 60.000
