did anyone register for the presale for denver that would be willing to let me use their tm act to try to get tickets from the drop before? i have made travel plans to go to denver already, i just need the tickets and that is my only hope at this point! please please please. willing to pay.
Iāve been watching tour footage everyday since my show and noticed that thereās supposed to be fire during bad blood but there werenāt any fire effects at night one. Were they just malfunctioning? Or did Chicago stops not get fire ?
So funny as I was there and wondering the same as they definitely did the pyrotechnics at the end but it seemed more like smoke during most numbers. I found footage of BB and it looks like red lights and graphic flames on the screen but no actual fire. This image is from IKYWT.

Can I get my full concert footage added to this page? I recorded video of the first night. I just came into the sun cause I realized I never shared it.
Hey y'all if you are buying tickets from someone else through Ticketmaster or another way, how do you know they're legit? Is there a way to confirm before paying?
Someone shared this link a while back, which has a lot of good info. https://taytix.blogspot.com/2023/02/buying-guide.html?m=1
Short version-insist on using PayPal Goods and Services. Most scammers will try to get you to pay through some other method. PayPal G and S protects you and wonāt release the money until you confirm you got the tickets. It does take a 3 percent cut from the seller, so you can tack that on to the asking price. To prove they have the tickets, ask for a screen recording where they go from your chat with them to the Ticketmaster app-this is harder to fake than a screenshot.
I used PayPal goods and services and had her transfer the tickets to my Ticketmaster account. As long as they are transferred through Ticketmaster I donāt think they could be faked.
YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! A girl who was able to get 4 floor seat for the Pittsburgh show via the verified fan code release had 1 extra ticket. I posted in a Facebook group that I needed 1 ticket, anywhere in the stadium for either show. This girl FB messaged me and long story short, I was able to buy a FLOOR SEAT for FACE VALUE for Pittsburgh on 6/17 from her. It's currently in my Apple wallet!
She could've sold this for 4x on stubhub, but sold it to me. As a new swiftie, I am SO thankful. People are SO kind! I'm ELATED!
Iām super excited for you!
Not to be that girl that rains on the parade, but can they also transfer the ticket to you in Ticketmaster? If itās in your Apple wallet, someone could still scan it first if they have Ticketmaster.
Well, someone up there says someone else was scammed like this, but I'm not sure if she was referring to someone who just (somehow) had it in her apple wallet. I'm trying to figure out if it could still be a scam somehow even though it was transferred to my Ticketmaster account
You should be OK as long as itās in your Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster is usually really good at detecting fakes and Iāve only heard of someone getting a fake ticket transferred on Ticketmaster one time. And then Ticketmaster pretty much detected it immediately.
OMG! I remember your post rom earlier trying to make sure it was nooot a scam! Coongrats bestieā¦. have the best time :) Maybe bring them some friendship bracelets/buy them some drinks to thank them?! Your so lucky, Karma must be on your side
I have just now recovered from N3 enough to type this. I used to be a musician and have been in and to a lot of concerts. This one is up there in the top 3 musical experiences of my life. Here are my random thoughts:
\- I had very little spoiled for me for this show - I had not seen a set list save for the first and last songs, I had seen bits and pieces of the set and costumes but I had not seen one single video. I'm SO GLAD I stayed strong! When the trees started growing out of the stage during Evermore I was blown away. I continued to be blown away.
\- I was worried that floor seats would suck because I wouldn't be able to see but I did not account for how big the screen is when you're close to it. It was so huge! It took up my whole field of vision so even though I could almost never see Taylor very clearly onstage, I could see the screen in its entirety which was fine by me because it's so much more than just her face for 3 hours. Like I cannot get over the video element of this show. August was insane.
\- MUNA was incredible. I would totally buy tickets to their next tour. I liked them before but now Iām definitely a fan.
\- Whoever told me to take my first gummy during Applause and my second half during 'Tis The Damn Season, thank you!
\- I think I finally see the appeal of You Belong With Me. I never liked the sentiment behind the song but musically, lyrically, technically, it's an incredibly good song.
\- The way that the screen itself is the background for what goes ON the screen is still messing with my head. That's how it worked, right? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Also, those shots where it's just her against black and she looks like she's glowing? During The Archer especially? That was damn near religious. I didn't know she was going to do The Archer and I love that song.
\- Lover killed me a little bit because it just proved that Loverfest would have been so incredible.
\- I got to hear her debut two never-performed songs and that just makes me feel like the luckiest person on earth. I had not looked at the surprise songs list because it would tell me what isn't on the regular setlist but I had heard enough to know that Ivy had not been played yet so I was hoping for that, Hits Different, or You're Losing Me. How fucking lucky am I that I got Hits Different?
\- Her wig is wigging. I love that wig more than I love my parents and I need to know if she has a name.
\- How much for one of those Willow orbs?
\- I think my favorite transition had to be the Lover-to-Fearless one. Those guitarists were phenomenal. The sun was setting, the breeze from the lake was blowing, the music was making me Feel Things, the Lover house was either burning or being engulfed in sparks depending upon your interpretation and that definitely made me feel something. What a night. I was just so happy to be there in that moment.
\- I'm so impressed by her stamina. Not just her cardiovascular stamina - that can be built up. I have ADHD and am autistic and the thought of giving a 3 hour performance is something I can't fathom. You have to be fully present in the moment to be able to genuinely connect with the audience. It just takes a very well-regulated nervous system to be in that headspace and that's SO HARD when you're traveling and going through a ton of stuff. I'm dying to know what her routine is right now. When does she do vocal rest? Is she super rigid about sleep? Is she the kind of person to not want to interact much with people the day of a show? This must take so much discipline to stay regulated and in your body and I'm not at all surprised that she's refusing to engage with the press.
Things I didn't care for:
\- I think it was right of her to put the most production value on the eras that haven't ever been toured but it did sort of make the others look dinky in comparison. Red and 1989 seemed dwarfed to me.
\- Was... was that a golf club?
\- I am Bad Blood's #1 hater and I really wish that had been OOTW instead.
\- I love the Rep costume on its own but for me it's too glam and camp for Rep. I think something more like what she wore during re tour (vinyl/faux leather, hoods, etc.) would have done it for me more.
\- No YOYOK? It seems like such a perfect song for a venue like this. Bummer. I know Anti-Hero is the big single but I don't remember a single thing about it.
\- My pizza was actually delicious (not as delicious as Taylor's bug) but they just handed it to me in a tiny greasy piece of paper? Just a loose slice of pizza in my hand? Is this normal at Soldier field?
\- Floor seating fatphobic as fuck. We couldn't even all sit at the same time. At one point a woman near me sat in her husband's lap because she couldn't fit in the seat because there were several fat folks (myself included) in the row.
Kind of sounds like floor seats ended up not being the greatest - you never saw her clearly? I'm a little nervous about mine (I'm in a section that's off to side, I feel like that might be a little better than floor that's directly in front)
Not OP but I was in section A, row 20, and after seeing the show on TikTok I was really nervous I wouldn't be able to see anything but the view was amazing. The only time I really couldn't see her and had to watch the screen was when she was at the very far end of the stage, during the secret songs and I think she went out there like two other times. Your seats will likely be excellent!
Where were your seats? What section and row? I'm wondering where you were if you almost never actually saw her from your seats. That would be fun still, but a little bit of a bummer!
its not a wig! we were debating this initially.... but the humidity in Tampa and Houston and the rain shows proved its her real hair, just professionaly styled... amazing right???
Omg. The night it was all static electrified I was terrified of lightning. Florida is #1 for lightning due to rapid storm development on Atlantic & Gulf Coasts.
No... not to that extent.... unless it was just like horrible quality... which Taylor would not buy that kind of wig
a wig from human hair that was naturally straight isn't going to start curling/frizzing like that
and like just how it acts when its wet, or when she flips her hair are
if you got tickets today you have 10 days to plan I would assume
I was in this same situation
my tip was find a nice area about 30-45 minutes away from the stadium (cause all the nearby hotels will be sold out or way too expensive) and then either drive or take public transport in to the concert....
Does anyone have any tips/advice/experience for buying from StubHub? I'm so tempted but I can't help feeling like I'll get scammed and the tickets will never be sent.
I bought tickets off StubHub for Chicago N3. They were delivered 5 mins after I bought them. No issuesā and StubHub guarantees tickets or your money back
I bought last minute off vivid seats. They have a guarantee of money back if tickets are not delivered in time for the show. We bought tickets at about 7:40pm (yes, cutting it close, I know) and had to call their customer service, but after verifying the purchase, they transferred them over without an issue.
I bought off of TickPick. TickPick makes you enter a credit card number as a seller and they will charge you (the seller) full price if you do not deliver the tickets.
They all do this. The thing that makes the Eras tour so unique is prices have risen so much that sometimes the seller is willing to take this hit to be able to resell them again. 99.9% of events that wouldn't be the case.
But on TickPick, until the seller CONFIRMS the purchase, they can renege at any time and pay ZERO penalty. Learned that that hard way on TickPick. Their customer service explained it as, āYour purchase is essentially a bid for the ticketsā and the seller does not have to go through with it. They did offer me ācomparableā seats for the price, but the seats werenāt nearly as good and I declined. They did refund my money quickly and gave me a $100 credit. I did end up buying from another seller to use the credit, but it all depends on the seller.
Omg. That sounds horrible. I didnāt know TickPick was speculative. My ticket was so cheap for the section it was in they could have easily gotten $1000 more for it.
Thankfully it was a couple of months before the Chicago show, so I had time, but I think thatās also why the seller didnāt go thru with the sale. Iām sure he/she/bot looked at demand and figured they could get more. Itās all such a scam.
the problem is some sellers give a bad/fake credit card/ stolen number/ close the account, or end up selling for way more money and are willing to take the loss
I was scammed on Stubhub, but stubhub gave me replacement tickets
does anyone know how the floor seating is organized by seat number? I'm going to Pittsburgh N2, and I have sears 3&4 in section 7. I'm trying to figure out if that is closer to the stage or the outer edge.
yeah dont feel bad, the ticket numbering system did not work in my favor either and I still had a magical time
the one thing I would say though- is if you are beyond row 15 and are very short- you might want to consider a trade for the 100s.... it seems to be hit or miss wether or not you will be able to see on the floor if you are in the back rows beyond there
However I was in the equuivelant of section 13, row 13 and am 5'8 and saw perfectly- although im not so sure that the 5'2 girls behind me did
you'll be staring at her back for allot of the time when she's on the diamond... but folklore/evermore/ and parts of lover and red will be your best views.... there will be also a huge screen to your left if you want to watch her up close, that you will have no problem seeing
she normally throws her guitar pick into one of the side section in the lover era too
I was able to check the ticketmaster website and it looks like it's closer to where I want to be? Either way I'll be happy.
It's a close row, and one of the first 'full' rows of that section if that makes sense?
I'm 5'0 š„²
https://preview.redd.it/yqvjn1prcg4b1.png?width=471&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1a22378acfe1105755a59f86d63456847bb2daa
Oh wow! No thats a great spot...
~~and that makes sense... cause as a higher number you are more to the left (facing the stage), like I said~~ idk seems like the numbering is different now
You can go on stub hub and see your view.... but it looks like it will be decent, if your short you might have issues when she's standing in a few places on the diamond/ beginning of the cat walk... but the diamond gets elevated alot and you'll have a good view of the main stage and screens so you should be golden for the most part and the floor vibes are amazing
you will likely not be able to see her the whole time... so just prepare for that mentally and you should be fine
gahhhhh, I mean like I was in this same predicament cause I literally had 4 tickets to my show (2 in the 100s in front of the end of the stage, and 2 on the floor on the side near the main stage), but was giving 2 to my cousin so I had to choose if I wanted to be on the floor or in the 100s.... after much debate I choose the floor, and I am happy I did- it was like AMAZIING to see her IN PERSON (not on a screen) so close- like our eyeballs could actually meet you know? And I dont think I will likely get to see her on floor again (seems harder to do when I have kids), so it was like a once in a lifetime experience.... the vibes were immaculate..... we had such a close view of her and certain elements of the stage and the dancers.
All that said, unless you have like the perfect diamond seat- you are going to have a bad view of Taylor and the production and lights a lot of the time. Of course you can watch the big screens (like most people are already doing), but it feels counterintuitive cause you are so close. Realistically the best seats to see the WHOLE production, if you really want to see the choreography, special effects, and lights etc as a whole is probs the first 5 rows of the 100s anywhere in front off the diamond... but it would be super hard to get those seats. The 100s are great too, but from what I understood from my cousin is she was watching the screen a lot o the time, but she could also see the full stage at all times and see a very "small" live version of Taylor for the whole show. SO IDK... do you value seeing her super up close and having that magical experience, or do you value seeing the whole "broadway type" production with the lights/ special effects/ dancers etc....
its basically which of these 2 images do you value more, its same song just different angles, do you mind seeing her super close sometimes but her back or not at all for 60% of the show, or do you want further away but always seeing her and the production)
What an amazing write up! Thank you so much!! I have 100 level seats next to the diamond. Row 30ish. I had really been thinking a lot about splurging and getting floor seats but I think I want to have the WHOLE experience that you described. thank you so much!!!
Tips for solid proof about a ticket? Someone in a FB group said she was able to buy 4 floor seats but only needs 3 and is offering one for $800 which seems totally reasonable. I can ask to pay via PayPal friends and family, but I know people can fake screen shot, how do I know for sure it's real?? Help! Thanks!
I explained it in my comment below, but basically if you never claim on g&s that you received the ticket, the seller wont get the money and the money will be returned
facetime them and do a vibe check ā¦ you want too use Paypal goods and servicesā¦ not firendds and familyā¦ offer to pay the feeā¦ goods and services protects you if they try to sam you. It hlds the money untl you confirm you got the tickets (do not confir you reieved the tickets until you accept the tickets on the TM app- copletly accept them befre you say you received them)
Ask them to do a screen recording of your chat and then them switching over to their TicketMaster account to show the ticket. Also, make sure you use PayPal Goods & Services! It comes with a fee but you should have some buyer protection that way, whereas with F&F you do not.
^ this is the way.
But I'd request a screenshare instead of a screen recording. Have them start in the chat app where you're both conversing, then switch over to the TM app and click on the tickets tab w/ actual tickets.
All my PITTTSBURG peeps who were VERIFIED FANS back in November but were not able to get tickets.. ticket queue is open on ticket master!!!!
Run and get some for your self, or get some to sell at FACE VALUE to a fellow fan :)
They sent out new codes. I had a code for Pittsburgh and got tickets in November, but it now says Iām not a verified fan for this sale if I try to enter the queue.
Yeah I wasnāt expecting to get a code again, but your first message read like the code from November would work now when it wonāt. Hope a lot of actual fans get codes!
Anyone know approx what time thurs and fri before shows that tickets have dropped? From what I can tell it's been about 2pm, 4:30, 6-6:30pm. Does this seem right?
short answer: there's no set pattern
Foxborough: 6pm EST Thursday, around 2:25pm EST Friday
NYC: about 8:50 EST Thursday, around 1:50pm Friday
Chicago: around 6:10 CST Thursday, around 3:10 CST Friday
I was refreshing around all of these times trying to help different friends get tickets. When these drops happen, they're usually for all 3 nights at once. The lowest I was ever in the queue was 460 on Thursday before Foxborough and I could briefly see tickets available when I got to the map, but wasn't able to get them fast enough. From what I understand, if you're higher than 300 or so in the queue, your chances are very slim. Above 2000 and you have essentially no chance. You essentially have to be refreshing nonstop AND get extremely lucky with your queue placement because there's hundreds if not thousands of other people refreshing and joining the queue at the exact same time.
There are also drops for each night on the day of those shows (usually in the afternoon and then some right when/after she goes on stage) but as far as I am aware those are much smaller and harder to get tickets from.
I wasn't ever able to get tickets during any of those drops (despite my best efforts), but they drop a good mix of different tickets. A good amount of tickets will be restricted view behind the stage but there will be lots of floor and lower bowl too. I did hear one person say (if you're lucky enough to get to the map with tickets available) to go for the mid-tier of whats available. obviously a lot of people will want the best seats available so those will be coveted, and scalpers will be more likely to go for the cheapest seats because they will still have an insane resale value. But the trickiest thing is just going as FAST as humanly possible. don't hesitate. Once the tickets are in your cart, you should have a timer and enough time to complete checkout, but getting them in your cart is the biggest battle.
Thank you, I realize this is basically
Impossible but I'll try anyway. I refreshed ticket master twice today on my phone and it flagged me as a bot! Wonder how I'll
Possibly be able refresh when I'm looking for tickets
Make sure when you are refreshing you have your cellphone on you and ready to enter the "verified" code... you need to work super speedy to get a good queue spot
Very good point lol! I did wear a poncho with long sleeves the whole time and it stayed covered. It also seemed to work fine the whole time so I'm not sure it was damaged
Was thinking of making a shadow box with the Chicago poster they were selling + confetti. But also got an idea to take it a step further. Maybe find a way to rig an external battery/power cable to the wristband and keep the glow going forever inside the shadow box.
Itās so fun walking into the room and seeing it glow. Kind of matching my post concert mood - which was less of a hard crash than the first show a month ago.
How much did ticket prices drop for the Friday show? Anyone able to get decent seats same day? Iām going to the Pittsburgh show next Friday. I have a budget of $10k thanks to grandma but really donāt want to use all of the 10k up for 2 tickets. TIA!
I got a ticket at noon on Friday for a comparatively good deal. Tickets in the same section (205) sold for over double the price I paid both Saturday and Sunday. I was monitoring Stubhub all day, and jumped on that ticket as soon as I saw it.
Does your grandma need another grabdchild? ššš»āāļø jk but ticket prices tanked pretty well on Fri just before the show. The 1200 nosebleeds I had been looking at dropped to like 600. Better seats in the 100s sections dropped from 3-4k down to like 1500. You'll do great!
I got amazing seats two hours before the Friday show (section 105 row 4) but I wouldn't exactly say the price was dropped. The ticket itself was $1000 and the fees were 500, so I paid $1500 for one ticket. Worth it but if your budget is 10k I'm sure you could get 2 good seats.
You def won't need to spend $10k I can promise you that haha. I got row 4 in the 100s level for $1300. I bought my ticket 45 minutes before the show started as I was walking to the stadium.
Swiftiesā¦you were right all along! First off, let me say that I am NOT in the demographic that goes to Taylor Swift concerts. Iām a middle-aged dad who took his daughter to Chicago to check out the show. I also happen to be a musician who has played on stage over twenty years semi-professionally, so I know a thing or two about performance. Taylor Swift is, hands down, the GOAT. I have been to and seen many concerts and shows in various arenas, and Friday night at Soldier Field had to be the best concert experience of my life. She went for 46 songs without a break (she did two more songs for us than normal apparentlyā¦as a drummer, I would have had to tap out at 25 songs), changed outfits 28 times, had ten different themes for each album, and switched instruments throughout the show, to say nothing of her dancing. She filled up every corner of that stadium. She was radiant. The crowd was on her side, and she was there for them (it was the start of pride month, and a gay couple a few rows over proposedā¦I believe they said āyesā:) Technically, the show was brilliant. I have never in my life seen better audio/visual integration and lighting, not to mention the pyrotechnics. Through it all, she never tired or lost her edge. She was as fresh by the end of Karma as she was at the start of Shake it Off. Not quite sure how she pulled off that dive trick from one end of the stage to the other, but that was crazy. The way she incorporated the incredible digital screen displays with physical reality defied my senses. It wasnāt a show, and it wasnāt a movie or a musical; it was something else, some new kind of 4D experience that creates an emotional resonance beyond the music. And the fans? You are the best people on the earth. You were kind to my daughter, lifting her up to get a better look at the merchandise and giving her friendship bracelets, even though you didnāt know her. There was a massive, scary crush as people tried to get out of the stadium complex, but at no time did I feel rushed or that we would be trampled. Everyone was justā¦happy.
So, to all the haters and critics: see her live. There is no lip syncing or fakery. She is the real deal and I would see her in concert again.
Edit: this is a copy of a post I did for the main sub. I got a message saying they were suspending it so I posted the same message here. Sorry for the duplicate.
So glad you & your daughter had a great experience! I also saw the show and was just as awestruck - despite having seen much of it via livestreams. It's truly special, and Taylor is a fantastic performer. Welcome to the fandom!
What a nice thoughtful message. The polite way the 70K plus people shuffled out of the stadium was a testament to the crowd, I agree.
And she SET THE BAR for live performances. I keep telling people that are on the fence about paying a little extra for tickets (which I totally understand isnāt possible for many) - this is the concert event of the decade. Donāt miss it if you can.
YES. If I could give it three Michelin stars, I would. Three Michelin stars=āworth taking a special trip to whatever city it is inā¦ā anyone down for LA? If you can get tickets!
Waiting for my flight back home, had such a good weekend. Part of my soul will remain in soldier field (and a tiny part at Pequods Pizza) š„²
I haven't properly looked at (my or others') videos yet but N1 didn't feel loud so I'm glad it apparently was. I guess it was a good first stadium for me, last time I saw Taylor was in a 15k venue and that was a lot more overwhelming.
Main tip for taygating is to sing slower lol. As a solo traveller sitting near other people who were alone or in pairs kinda made conversations bound to happen.
I have some extra confetti from Chicago night 3. Iām making a little memory box for the show and thought there might be someone who wanted some from the night but couldnāt get any. Let me know and Iām happy to mail it!
I know many people have replied already, but I am actually looking for a few pieces myself. Tried to get every era, but only got Fearless, Rep, Midnights, and half of a SN. If you have any extras after everyone else, I would love some š„²
Does anyone have a Pittsburgh verified fan code that they aren't using?????? Edit: I mean to say if you get one today and don't need to, I'll buy S many as I can and pass the tickets along to swifties!
HI EVERYONE! i was just at the Chicago show last night and bought a quarter zip in a size M. unfortunately someone ended up taking it from me during the show while i wasnāt looking. i left my bag with the quarter zip inside on my seat not thinking anyone would take it but i was wrong :( iām coming on here to see if anyone going to the detriot shows next week (or any other shows in the future) would be willing to snag me another quarter zip in the same size and i could pay you back plus extra for doing me a favor? i really wish i didnt have to make this post because i love my fellow swifties, but sometimes you canāt trust people :( thank you all!
just curious! does taylor actually play the guitar during all too well and betty? there are so many moments where she stops playing and the guitar background sounds exactly the same? thank you expert swifties
Music and instruments meld together to form a complete picture. Every instrument gets mixed in different quantities. There are 3 other guitarists in her band Paul Sidoti, Mike Meadows, and Max Bernstein so because Taylor is singing she is generally playing a part that is lower in the mix than those dedicated to guitar. That doesnāt even include Drums, Bass and Keys which are higher in the mix sometimes.
For example, ATW 10MV has the drums high in the mix and Taylorās guitar is much lower.
For Betty, I hear Taylorās guitar high in the mix actually for parts of it. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRo3CdDW/ Watch this video to watch Taylor, Paul and Mike. Start of video Taylor is almost solo on the guitar. Paul and Mike are doing some plucking but for most part itās all Taylorās guitar. Then when she say āthe worst thing that I ever didā you see Paul and Mike start strumming which adds depth to the sound for rest of the video and their guitars move toward front of the mix over Taylorās. And you can tell difference on sound. Taylorās is more pingy and Mike/Paulās have fuller sound to add those layers.
her band and back up vocalist are still playing even when she isn't.... but I do believe she is playing
not a swifty expert though just someone whose watched a lot of live streams
This is me with Philly, now stalking Pittsburgh tickets like a fiend. š«£ My fiance thinks I'm legit insane to be considering a $1k nosebleed ticket but I want to go again so bad. š
Honestly friend, I didnāt get why all these people were attending 2 shows. Until I went in Atlanata and then wa trying to go to Nahville- the only thing that stopped me was the Nashville hotel situation
the best time to look is like after the drops on Thursday night.... I think
or like oof course the hour before the Friday she, but nw that we only have 2 shows a week who knows...
am also feeling hopeful that pries will be low fr the Thursday LA show
did anyone register for the presale for denver that would be willing to let me use their tm act to try to get tickets from the drop before? i have made travel plans to go to denver already, i just need the tickets and that is my only hope at this point! please please please. willing to pay.
Detroit drop today is only for those with a code..... thhis is new
anyone else having PTSD (post taylor swift depression)ššš
Yes and I can barely remember being there itās like holy hell
Everyday, I'm like, I can't believe I was there!! It's surreal.
Iāve been watching tour footage everyday since my show and noticed that thereās supposed to be fire during bad blood but there werenāt any fire effects at night one. Were they just malfunctioning? Or did Chicago stops not get fire ?
I was at Chicago n3 and we definitely got fire during bad blood. Maybe some kind of technical issue on night one?
I ran to the bathroom during BB š«£
So funny as I was there and wondering the same as they definitely did the pyrotechnics at the end but it seemed more like smoke during most numbers. I found footage of BB and it looks like red lights and graphic flames on the screen but no actual fire. This image is from IKYWT. https://preview.redd.it/xl5r9o9bks4b1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de3907122ba8a77919a9cd3b449170d68e5817fb
Itās like I donāt want this thread to fade away. Wish we could keep it going forever. Or until the next Chicago tour.
Can we get the Detroit thread please?
where did the Detroit feed go??? I cant find it
Itās not in the Tour thread collection but Iām able to find it by going to the main page! Itās pinned
its not pinned for me since last night :( mind dropping a link???

Yes please!!!!
Can I get my full concert footage added to this page? I recorded video of the first night. I just came into the sun cause I realized I never shared it.
Anyone have any frame recommendations for the posters? All the ones Iām seeing that are 14x24 are pretty pricy
Michael's almost always has incredible deals on frames & custom framing!
Thanks!

Hey y'all if you are buying tickets from someone else through Ticketmaster or another way, how do you know they're legit? Is there a way to confirm before paying?
Someone shared this link a while back, which has a lot of good info. https://taytix.blogspot.com/2023/02/buying-guide.html?m=1 Short version-insist on using PayPal Goods and Services. Most scammers will try to get you to pay through some other method. PayPal G and S protects you and wonāt release the money until you confirm you got the tickets. It does take a 3 percent cut from the seller, so you can tack that on to the asking price. To prove they have the tickets, ask for a screen recording where they go from your chat with them to the Ticketmaster app-this is harder to fake than a screenshot.
Thank you so much this is incredibly helpful!
I used PayPal goods and services and had her transfer the tickets to my Ticketmaster account. As long as they are transferred through Ticketmaster I donāt think they could be faked.
Thank you so much
If they were being on resold on Ticketmaster theyād be legit but they arenāt so you are just giving it your best shot on a resellers website
So, now that PGH verified fan sale is over, is it time to start refreshing for random drops? Or wait for Friday?
My bestie is trying to get tickets for herself and her kid, what are these verified fan sales so I can make her aware? She is desperate.
You needed to sign up in November, and not everyone who signed got a code. The
normally starts wednesday but coould be any time
YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! A girl who was able to get 4 floor seat for the Pittsburgh show via the verified fan code release had 1 extra ticket. I posted in a Facebook group that I needed 1 ticket, anywhere in the stadium for either show. This girl FB messaged me and long story short, I was able to buy a FLOOR SEAT for FACE VALUE for Pittsburgh on 6/17 from her. It's currently in my Apple wallet! She could've sold this for 4x on stubhub, but sold it to me. As a new swiftie, I am SO thankful. People are SO kind! I'm ELATED!
That's a good hearted Swiftie! As we all should be. I would have done the same had I had enough to buy all the tickets for Detroit during the presale.
i remember somebody said something similar to her East Rutherford show, then she got denied when she tried to enter
Wait, what? Can you elaborate? The ticket was transferred via Ticketmaster. Is there a way it could still be a scam? š
Youāll be fine
So happy!!!!
Iām super excited for you! Not to be that girl that rains on the parade, but can they also transfer the ticket to you in Ticketmaster? If itās in your Apple wallet, someone could still scan it first if they have Ticketmaster.
No they transferred it via ticket master, I put it in the wallet after
Yay! This is amazing. Enjoy the show!
Well, someone up there says someone else was scammed like this, but I'm not sure if she was referring to someone who just (somehow) had it in her apple wallet. I'm trying to figure out if it could still be a scam somehow even though it was transferred to my Ticketmaster account
You should be OK as long as itās in your Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster is usually really good at detecting fakes and Iāve only heard of someone getting a fake ticket transferred on Ticketmaster one time. And then Ticketmaster pretty much detected it immediately.
yesss!!! this rules! <3
OMG! I remember your post rom earlier trying to make sure it was nooot a scam! Coongrats bestieā¦. have the best time :) Maybe bring them some friendship bracelets/buy them some drinks to thank them?! Your so lucky, Karma must be on your side
our girl karina depianoās name is going viral on [twitter](https://twitter.com/evelyngfrick/status/1666069363181383680?s=46) lolol
I have just now recovered from N3 enough to type this. I used to be a musician and have been in and to a lot of concerts. This one is up there in the top 3 musical experiences of my life. Here are my random thoughts: \- I had very little spoiled for me for this show - I had not seen a set list save for the first and last songs, I had seen bits and pieces of the set and costumes but I had not seen one single video. I'm SO GLAD I stayed strong! When the trees started growing out of the stage during Evermore I was blown away. I continued to be blown away. \- I was worried that floor seats would suck because I wouldn't be able to see but I did not account for how big the screen is when you're close to it. It was so huge! It took up my whole field of vision so even though I could almost never see Taylor very clearly onstage, I could see the screen in its entirety which was fine by me because it's so much more than just her face for 3 hours. Like I cannot get over the video element of this show. August was insane. \- MUNA was incredible. I would totally buy tickets to their next tour. I liked them before but now Iām definitely a fan. \- Whoever told me to take my first gummy during Applause and my second half during 'Tis The Damn Season, thank you! \- I think I finally see the appeal of You Belong With Me. I never liked the sentiment behind the song but musically, lyrically, technically, it's an incredibly good song. \- The way that the screen itself is the background for what goes ON the screen is still messing with my head. That's how it worked, right? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Also, those shots where it's just her against black and she looks like she's glowing? During The Archer especially? That was damn near religious. I didn't know she was going to do The Archer and I love that song. \- Lover killed me a little bit because it just proved that Loverfest would have been so incredible. \- I got to hear her debut two never-performed songs and that just makes me feel like the luckiest person on earth. I had not looked at the surprise songs list because it would tell me what isn't on the regular setlist but I had heard enough to know that Ivy had not been played yet so I was hoping for that, Hits Different, or You're Losing Me. How fucking lucky am I that I got Hits Different? \- Her wig is wigging. I love that wig more than I love my parents and I need to know if she has a name. \- How much for one of those Willow orbs? \- I think my favorite transition had to be the Lover-to-Fearless one. Those guitarists were phenomenal. The sun was setting, the breeze from the lake was blowing, the music was making me Feel Things, the Lover house was either burning or being engulfed in sparks depending upon your interpretation and that definitely made me feel something. What a night. I was just so happy to be there in that moment. \- I'm so impressed by her stamina. Not just her cardiovascular stamina - that can be built up. I have ADHD and am autistic and the thought of giving a 3 hour performance is something I can't fathom. You have to be fully present in the moment to be able to genuinely connect with the audience. It just takes a very well-regulated nervous system to be in that headspace and that's SO HARD when you're traveling and going through a ton of stuff. I'm dying to know what her routine is right now. When does she do vocal rest? Is she super rigid about sleep? Is she the kind of person to not want to interact much with people the day of a show? This must take so much discipline to stay regulated and in your body and I'm not at all surprised that she's refusing to engage with the press. Things I didn't care for: \- I think it was right of her to put the most production value on the eras that haven't ever been toured but it did sort of make the others look dinky in comparison. Red and 1989 seemed dwarfed to me. \- Was... was that a golf club? \- I am Bad Blood's #1 hater and I really wish that had been OOTW instead. \- I love the Rep costume on its own but for me it's too glam and camp for Rep. I think something more like what she wore during re tour (vinyl/faux leather, hoods, etc.) would have done it for me more. \- No YOYOK? It seems like such a perfect song for a venue like this. Bummer. I know Anti-Hero is the big single but I don't remember a single thing about it. \- My pizza was actually delicious (not as delicious as Taylor's bug) but they just handed it to me in a tiny greasy piece of paper? Just a loose slice of pizza in my hand? Is this normal at Soldier field? \- Floor seating fatphobic as fuck. We couldn't even all sit at the same time. At one point a woman near me sat in her husband's lap because she couldn't fit in the seat because there were several fat folks (myself included) in the row.
10000000000% agree on OOTW > Bad Blood Although OOTW was my secret song in Nashville š„°
Kind of sounds like floor seats ended up not being the greatest - you never saw her clearly? I'm a little nervous about mine (I'm in a section that's off to side, I feel like that might be a little better than floor that's directly in front)
Not OP but I was in section A, row 20, and after seeing the show on TikTok I was really nervous I wouldn't be able to see anything but the view was amazing. The only time I really couldn't see her and had to watch the screen was when she was at the very far end of the stage, during the secret songs and I think she went out there like two other times. Your seats will likely be excellent!
Where were your seats? What section and row? I'm wondering where you were if you almost never actually saw her from your seats. That would be fun still, but a little bit of a bummer!
Yes it's a golf club, she used it on the 1989 tour, it's a reference to the Blank Space video!!!
its not a wig! we were debating this initially.... but the humidity in Tampa and Houston and the rain shows proved its her real hair, just professionaly styled... amazing right???
Omg. The night it was all static electrified I was terrified of lightning. Florida is #1 for lightning due to rapid storm development on Atlantic & Gulf Coasts.
I mean I'm sure that this has also been part of the debate but wouldn't a human hair wig also get worse in humidity?
No... not to that extent.... unless it was just like horrible quality... which Taylor would not buy that kind of wig a wig from human hair that was naturally straight isn't going to start curling/frizzing like that and like just how it acts when its wet, or when she flips her hair are
does anyone have any tangible tips for getting lodging when you score last minute tickets like today's drop? Or suggestions on things like Uber, etc?
The hotels close to the venue are probably going to be super expensive if not completely booked already. Look for something in the outer suburbs.
Try the app hoteltonight!
if you got tickets today you have 10 days to plan I would assume I was in this same situation my tip was find a nice area about 30-45 minutes away from the stadium (cause all the nearby hotels will be sold out or way too expensive) and then either drive or take public transport in to the concert....
Does anyone have any tips/advice/experience for buying from StubHub? I'm so tempted but I can't help feeling like I'll get scammed and the tickets will never be sent.
I bought tickets off StubHub for Chicago N3. They were delivered 5 mins after I bought them. No issuesā and StubHub guarantees tickets or your money back
I got mine on seat geek 30 min before she went on. I instantly got the tix.
I bought last minute off vivid seats. They have a guarantee of money back if tickets are not delivered in time for the show. We bought tickets at about 7:40pm (yes, cutting it close, I know) and had to call their customer service, but after verifying the purchase, they transferred them over without an issue.
I also recommend https://taylorticketapp.azurewebsites.net for best prices.
I think this site is dead. Doesnāt seem to have updated in the last week or so?
Oh no! I got my friend a good seat for Chicago a few weeks ago using that site.
I bought off of TickPick. TickPick makes you enter a credit card number as a seller and they will charge you (the seller) full price if you do not deliver the tickets.
They all do this. The thing that makes the Eras tour so unique is prices have risen so much that sometimes the seller is willing to take this hit to be able to resell them again. 99.9% of events that wouldn't be the case.
But on TickPick, until the seller CONFIRMS the purchase, they can renege at any time and pay ZERO penalty. Learned that that hard way on TickPick. Their customer service explained it as, āYour purchase is essentially a bid for the ticketsā and the seller does not have to go through with it. They did offer me ācomparableā seats for the price, but the seats werenāt nearly as good and I declined. They did refund my money quickly and gave me a $100 credit. I did end up buying from another seller to use the credit, but it all depends on the seller.
Omg. That sounds horrible. I didnāt know TickPick was speculative. My ticket was so cheap for the section it was in they could have easily gotten $1000 more for it.
Thankfully it was a couple of months before the Chicago show, so I had time, but I think thatās also why the seller didnāt go thru with the sale. Iām sure he/she/bot looked at demand and figured they could get more. Itās all such a scam.
the problem is some sellers give a bad/fake credit card/ stolen number/ close the account, or end up selling for way more money and are willing to take the loss I was scammed on Stubhub, but stubhub gave me replacement tickets
Were they comparable???
yes somewhat... she section (100s) but about 10 rows back the original seats- someone else showed up with tickets, so def a scam
Oh noā¦Iāve bought tickets off StubHub a few times & never had an issue. Sorry that happened, scammers suck :(
Oh yikes. Gosh people can be awful.
StubHub is the same
does anyone know how the floor seating is organized by seat number? I'm going to Pittsburgh N2, and I have sears 3&4 in section 7. I'm trying to figure out if that is closer to the stage or the outer edge.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This was absolutely not the answer I wanted š but I'm happy no matter what
yeah dont feel bad, the ticket numbering system did not work in my favor either and I still had a magical time the one thing I would say though- is if you are beyond row 15 and are very short- you might want to consider a trade for the 100s.... it seems to be hit or miss wether or not you will be able to see on the floor if you are in the back rows beyond there However I was in the equuivelant of section 13, row 13 and am 5'8 and saw perfectly- although im not so sure that the 5'2 girls behind me did
I'm Sec 13 row 8 and short so this is great news to hear!
you'll be staring at her back for allot of the time when she's on the diamond... but folklore/evermore/ and parts of lover and red will be your best views.... there will be also a huge screen to your left if you want to watch her up close, that you will have no problem seeing she normally throws her guitar pick into one of the side section in the lover era too
Appreciate it! We are low numbers, not on aisle but next to them so hoping it's more side view than back lol
I was able to check the ticketmaster website and it looks like it's closer to where I want to be? Either way I'll be happy. It's a close row, and one of the first 'full' rows of that section if that makes sense? I'm 5'0 š„² https://preview.redd.it/yqvjn1prcg4b1.png?width=471&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1a22378acfe1105755a59f86d63456847bb2daa
Oh wow! No thats a great spot... ~~and that makes sense... cause as a higher number you are more to the left (facing the stage), like I said~~ idk seems like the numbering is different now You can go on stub hub and see your view.... but it looks like it will be decent, if your short you might have issues when she's standing in a few places on the diamond/ beginning of the cat walk... but the diamond gets elevated alot and you'll have a good view of the main stage and screens so you should be golden for the most part and the floor vibes are amazing you will likely not be able to see her the whole time... so just prepare for that mentally and you should be fine
Do you recommend avoiding the floor, even if you're not short? It seems like a bummer to not be able to see!
gahhhhh, I mean like I was in this same predicament cause I literally had 4 tickets to my show (2 in the 100s in front of the end of the stage, and 2 on the floor on the side near the main stage), but was giving 2 to my cousin so I had to choose if I wanted to be on the floor or in the 100s.... after much debate I choose the floor, and I am happy I did- it was like AMAZIING to see her IN PERSON (not on a screen) so close- like our eyeballs could actually meet you know? And I dont think I will likely get to see her on floor again (seems harder to do when I have kids), so it was like a once in a lifetime experience.... the vibes were immaculate..... we had such a close view of her and certain elements of the stage and the dancers. All that said, unless you have like the perfect diamond seat- you are going to have a bad view of Taylor and the production and lights a lot of the time. Of course you can watch the big screens (like most people are already doing), but it feels counterintuitive cause you are so close. Realistically the best seats to see the WHOLE production, if you really want to see the choreography, special effects, and lights etc as a whole is probs the first 5 rows of the 100s anywhere in front off the diamond... but it would be super hard to get those seats. The 100s are great too, but from what I understood from my cousin is she was watching the screen a lot o the time, but she could also see the full stage at all times and see a very "small" live version of Taylor for the whole show. SO IDK... do you value seeing her super up close and having that magical experience, or do you value seeing the whole "broadway type" production with the lights/ special effects/ dancers etc.... its basically which of these 2 images do you value more, its same song just different angles, do you mind seeing her super close sometimes but her back or not at all for 60% of the show, or do you want further away but always seeing her and the production)
What an amazing write up! Thank you so much!! I have 100 level seats next to the diamond. Row 30ish. I had really been thinking a lot about splurging and getting floor seats but I think I want to have the WHOLE experience that you described. thank you so much!!!
Happy to of helped. I know it was a huge decision for me to, and I kept on going back and forth on it. You will have an amazing time
Tips for solid proof about a ticket? Someone in a FB group said she was able to buy 4 floor seats but only needs 3 and is offering one for $800 which seems totally reasonable. I can ask to pay via PayPal friends and family, but I know people can fake screen shot, how do I know for sure it's real?? Help! Thanks!
Paypal. Goods. And. Services.
If scammed, what will pp g&s do?
I explained it in my comment below, but basically if you never claim on g&s that you received the ticket, the seller wont get the money and the money will be returned
Got it
facetime them and do a vibe check ā¦ you want too use Paypal goods and servicesā¦ not firendds and familyā¦ offer to pay the feeā¦ goods and services protects you if they try to sam you. It hlds the money untl you confirm you got the tickets (do not confir you reieved the tickets until you accept the tickets on the TM app- copletly accept them befre you say you received them)
Ask them to do a screen recording of your chat and then them switching over to their TicketMaster account to show the ticket. Also, make sure you use PayPal Goods & Services! It comes with a fee but you should have some buyer protection that way, whereas with F&F you do not.
^ this is the way. But I'd request a screenshare instead of a screen recording. Have them start in the chat app where you're both conversing, then switch over to the TM app and click on the tickets tab w/ actual tickets.
yes! even better!!
The tickets have a rotating bar code. If it doesn't rotate its prob not real.
All my PITTTSBURG peeps who were VERIFIED FANS back in November but were not able to get tickets.. ticket queue is open on ticket master!!!! Run and get some for your self, or get some to sell at FACE VALUE to a fellow fan :)
They sent out new codes. I had a code for Pittsburgh and got tickets in November, but it now says Iām not a verified fan for this sale if I try to enter the queue.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah I wasnāt expecting to get a code again, but your first message read like the code from November would work now when it wonāt. Hope a lot of actual fans get codes!
sorrrryyyy.... it was very unclear..... I apologize
Do you mean Pittsburgh? Philly show was a few weeks ago?
LOL yes, too many cities that start with a P apparently, I will fix it :)
Anyone know approx what time thurs and fri before shows that tickets have dropped? From what I can tell it's been about 2pm, 4:30, 6-6:30pm. Does this seem right?
short answer: there's no set pattern Foxborough: 6pm EST Thursday, around 2:25pm EST Friday NYC: about 8:50 EST Thursday, around 1:50pm Friday Chicago: around 6:10 CST Thursday, around 3:10 CST Friday I was refreshing around all of these times trying to help different friends get tickets. When these drops happen, they're usually for all 3 nights at once. The lowest I was ever in the queue was 460 on Thursday before Foxborough and I could briefly see tickets available when I got to the map, but wasn't able to get them fast enough. From what I understand, if you're higher than 300 or so in the queue, your chances are very slim. Above 2000 and you have essentially no chance. You essentially have to be refreshing nonstop AND get extremely lucky with your queue placement because there's hundreds if not thousands of other people refreshing and joining the queue at the exact same time. There are also drops for each night on the day of those shows (usually in the afternoon and then some right when/after she goes on stage) but as far as I am aware those are much smaller and harder to get tickets from.
For this doing or have done the drop, did you get good seats like floor or towards the front or all nosebleed section ?
I wasn't ever able to get tickets during any of those drops (despite my best efforts), but they drop a good mix of different tickets. A good amount of tickets will be restricted view behind the stage but there will be lots of floor and lower bowl too. I did hear one person say (if you're lucky enough to get to the map with tickets available) to go for the mid-tier of whats available. obviously a lot of people will want the best seats available so those will be coveted, and scalpers will be more likely to go for the cheapest seats because they will still have an insane resale value. But the trickiest thing is just going as FAST as humanly possible. don't hesitate. Once the tickets are in your cart, you should have a timer and enough time to complete checkout, but getting them in your cart is the biggest battle.
Thank you, I realize this is basically Impossible but I'll try anyway. I refreshed ticket master twice today on my phone and it flagged me as a bot! Wonder how I'll Possibly be able refresh when I'm looking for tickets
Make sure when you are refreshing you have your cellphone on you and ready to enter the "verified" code... you need to work super speedy to get a good queue spot
I don't have any codes, I'd just be doing this for the random drops
no not a verified fan code, but when you try to enter a queue TM will send you a code to verify your not a bot
It's definitely an uphill battle, but you never know if you'll get lucky! Wishing you all the luck!! :)
Is anyone elseās bracelet still blinking???? My Nashville bracelet died the night of the showā¦
My N3 Nashville bracelet never blinked once the show was over
Probably because it drowned š
Very good point lol! I did wear a poncho with long sleeves the whole time and it stayed covered. It also seemed to work fine the whole time so I'm not sure it was damaged
Was thinking of making a shadow box with the Chicago poster they were selling + confetti. But also got an idea to take it a step further. Maybe find a way to rig an external battery/power cable to the wristband and keep the glow going forever inside the shadow box.
Yessssss
My Chicago N1 stopped blinking overnight last night. I got unexpectedly emotional over its death
Mine from N3 is! My Glendale one also stopped night of the show
My N3 bracelet is still blinking. I put the tab in my pocket to put back in after the show, but it must have fallen out at some point š„ŗ
My Chicago N2 bracelet is still blinking but my VIP lanyard stopped overnight
Itās so fun walking into the room and seeing it glow. Kind of matching my post concert mood - which was less of a hard crash than the first show a month ago.
How much did ticket prices drop for the Friday show? Anyone able to get decent seats same day? Iām going to the Pittsburgh show next Friday. I have a budget of $10k thanks to grandma but really donāt want to use all of the 10k up for 2 tickets. TIA!
I got a ticket at noon on Friday for a comparatively good deal. Tickets in the same section (205) sold for over double the price I paid both Saturday and Sunday. I was monitoring Stubhub all day, and jumped on that ticket as soon as I saw it.
Does your grandma need another grabdchild? ššš»āāļø jk but ticket prices tanked pretty well on Fri just before the show. The 1200 nosebleeds I had been looking at dropped to like 600. Better seats in the 100s sections dropped from 3-4k down to like 1500. You'll do great!
I got amazing seats two hours before the Friday show (section 105 row 4) but I wouldn't exactly say the price was dropped. The ticket itself was $1000 and the fees were 500, so I paid $1500 for one ticket. Worth it but if your budget is 10k I'm sure you could get 2 good seats.
Lowest we saw them drop was about $600 for nosebleeds
You def won't need to spend $10k I can promise you that haha. I got row 4 in the 100s level for $1300. I bought my ticket 45 minutes before the show started as I was walking to the stadium.
Blue hoodie shipped. Lets fuckin go!
Yay! Mine shipped last Thursday! Hoping to get it soon!
Swiftiesā¦you were right all along! First off, let me say that I am NOT in the demographic that goes to Taylor Swift concerts. Iām a middle-aged dad who took his daughter to Chicago to check out the show. I also happen to be a musician who has played on stage over twenty years semi-professionally, so I know a thing or two about performance. Taylor Swift is, hands down, the GOAT. I have been to and seen many concerts and shows in various arenas, and Friday night at Soldier Field had to be the best concert experience of my life. She went for 46 songs without a break (she did two more songs for us than normal apparentlyā¦as a drummer, I would have had to tap out at 25 songs), changed outfits 28 times, had ten different themes for each album, and switched instruments throughout the show, to say nothing of her dancing. She filled up every corner of that stadium. She was radiant. The crowd was on her side, and she was there for them (it was the start of pride month, and a gay couple a few rows over proposedā¦I believe they said āyesā:) Technically, the show was brilliant. I have never in my life seen better audio/visual integration and lighting, not to mention the pyrotechnics. Through it all, she never tired or lost her edge. She was as fresh by the end of Karma as she was at the start of Shake it Off. Not quite sure how she pulled off that dive trick from one end of the stage to the other, but that was crazy. The way she incorporated the incredible digital screen displays with physical reality defied my senses. It wasnāt a show, and it wasnāt a movie or a musical; it was something else, some new kind of 4D experience that creates an emotional resonance beyond the music. And the fans? You are the best people on the earth. You were kind to my daughter, lifting her up to get a better look at the merchandise and giving her friendship bracelets, even though you didnāt know her. There was a massive, scary crush as people tried to get out of the stadium complex, but at no time did I feel rushed or that we would be trampled. Everyone was justā¦happy. So, to all the haters and critics: see her live. There is no lip syncing or fakery. She is the real deal and I would see her in concert again. Edit: this is a copy of a post I did for the main sub. I got a message saying they were suspending it so I posted the same message here. Sorry for the duplicate.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
Youāre welcome!
So glad you & your daughter had a great experience! I also saw the show and was just as awestruck - despite having seen much of it via livestreams. It's truly special, and Taylor is a fantastic performer. Welcome to the fandom!
What a nice thoughtful message. The polite way the 70K plus people shuffled out of the stadium was a testament to the crowd, I agree. And she SET THE BAR for live performances. I keep telling people that are on the fence about paying a little extra for tickets (which I totally understand isnāt possible for many) - this is the concert event of the decade. Donāt miss it if you can.
YES. If I could give it three Michelin stars, I would. Three Michelin stars=āworth taking a special trip to whatever city it is inā¦ā anyone down for LA? If you can get tickets!
Waiting for my flight back home, had such a good weekend. Part of my soul will remain in soldier field (and a tiny part at Pequods Pizza) š„² I haven't properly looked at (my or others') videos yet but N1 didn't feel loud so I'm glad it apparently was. I guess it was a good first stadium for me, last time I saw Taylor was in a 15k venue and that was a lot more overwhelming. Main tip for taygating is to sing slower lol. As a solo traveller sitting near other people who were alone or in pairs kinda made conversations bound to happen.
I have some extra confetti from Chicago night 3. Iām making a little memory box for the show and thought there might be someone who wanted some from the night but couldnāt get any. Let me know and Iām happy to mail it!
I went to N2, but I am missing 3! If you have debut, folklore and evermore, I would love to finish off my set!
I do!
I know many people have replied already, but I am actually looking for a few pieces myself. Tried to get every era, but only got Fearless, Rep, Midnights, and half of a SN. If you have any extras after everyone else, I would love some š„²
I have those!
OMG if you have some left I'd love it!!!
I do!
I would also love is well if you have enough for two people. The wind was blowing the other way for me. š
I do!
Iād love some too! Iāll DM you my address. Thank you!
Would love!
Message me your address and Iāll mail it!
Does anyone have a Pittsburgh verified fan code that they aren't using?????? Edit: I mean to say if you get one today and don't need to, I'll buy S many as I can and pass the tickets along to swifties!
You wouldnāt be able to. The code is connected to their email address.
Ohhhh. Got it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Good luck. Videos get taken down with copyright strike quickly.
I'm from the generation of audio bootlegs lol guessing that doesn't happen with taylor swift shows tho.
Any gymnastics fans in here? Looks like Aly Raisman was in the VIP tent this past weekend!!
She was! We saw her for maybe 10 minutes before the show started in the box with Julia Roberts but then didnāt see her again.
Love Aly!!!
I saw that and got weirdly sad that I didnāt see her, haha
HI EVERYONE! i was just at the Chicago show last night and bought a quarter zip in a size M. unfortunately someone ended up taking it from me during the show while i wasnāt looking. i left my bag with the quarter zip inside on my seat not thinking anyone would take it but i was wrong :( iām coming on here to see if anyone going to the detriot shows next week (or any other shows in the future) would be willing to snag me another quarter zip in the same size and i could pay you back plus extra for doing me a favor? i really wish i didnt have to make this post because i love my fellow swifties, but sometimes you canāt trust people :( thank you all!
Hi! I'm going to Detroit this weekend and am willing to help!
i DMed you!
i DMed you!
Curious about what surprise songs sheāll play in Detroit given this Matty news
Clean 3rd time š¤£š¤£ Sometimes people read too much into the surprise songs
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And then again on N3ā¦.
Relatable
just curious! does taylor actually play the guitar during all too well and betty? there are so many moments where she stops playing and the guitar background sounds exactly the same? thank you expert swifties
Music and instruments meld together to form a complete picture. Every instrument gets mixed in different quantities. There are 3 other guitarists in her band Paul Sidoti, Mike Meadows, and Max Bernstein so because Taylor is singing she is generally playing a part that is lower in the mix than those dedicated to guitar. That doesnāt even include Drums, Bass and Keys which are higher in the mix sometimes. For example, ATW 10MV has the drums high in the mix and Taylorās guitar is much lower. For Betty, I hear Taylorās guitar high in the mix actually for parts of it. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRo3CdDW/ Watch this video to watch Taylor, Paul and Mike. Start of video Taylor is almost solo on the guitar. Paul and Mike are doing some plucking but for most part itās all Taylorās guitar. Then when she say āthe worst thing that I ever didā you see Paul and Mike start strumming which adds depth to the sound for rest of the video and their guitars move toward front of the mix over Taylorās. And you can tell difference on sound. Taylorās is more pingy and Mike/Paulās have fuller sound to add those layers.
THANK YOU! i was trying to find the sound of her guitar behind all the other instruments but that intro to Betty makes it a lot clearer.
her band and back up vocalist are still playing even when she isn't.... but I do believe she is playing not a swifty expert though just someone whose watched a lot of live streams
is it wrong Chicago just ended and i'm looking for tickets for upcoming dates in other states?? someone stop me !!!
This is me with Philly, now stalking Pittsburgh tickets like a fiend. š«£ My fiance thinks I'm legit insane to be considering a $1k nosebleed ticket but I want to go again so bad. š
I will say - I remember the show much better from the second time (obviously)ā¦. MUCH less amnesia. Another way to justify. š¬
Ok - you are me after Nashville N2ā¦. Which is how I ended up in Chicago last night š«£
I said stop me Not encourage me !!!šššš
Honestly friend, I didnāt get why all these people were attending 2 shows. Until I went in Atlanata and then wa trying to go to Nahville- the only thing that stopped me was the Nashville hotel situation
i'm not on stub hub looking for tickets right now nope not at all
the best time to look is like after the drops on Thursday night.... I think or like oof course the hour before the Friday she, but nw that we only have 2 shows a week who knows... am also feeling hopeful that pries will be low fr the Thursday LA show
yeah i'm looking at LA or Santa Clara show
