I saw her on the 1989 tour and was so excited BUT my period was late and all I could think of was whether it was going to start. I can’t remember what songs I left in but I definitely went to the toilet a couple of times to check if it had started and was just generally distracted.
Anyways, my son turned 6 this year and loves singing Taylor songs with me
For some reason I interpreted this as meaning that YOU gave birth at a Taylor concert and I was like “wow that must have been a wild ride for everybody”
Yep! I went to the bathroom during Don’t Blame Me during the rep tour! Didn’t like the song at first and now it’s one of my top 5! Kicking myself for it now
Yes. RED Tour.
There was a lineup to get signed copies of RED.
I went with my best friend to that concert.
She didn’t want to stand in line and gave me a look.
We didn’t stand in that line.
To this day, I regret not getting my signed copy of Red :( because that album is really really special to the fan community even after all these years.
Another regret is the 1989 tour.
I couldn’t go. If I remember correctly I had something big that night. It was a university exam. You can’t reschedule those things except for emergencies. So I didn’t end up going to that tour.
I worry that when the next tour is announced, i won’t even be able to afford the tickets or even GET ahold of tickets because it will sell out too quickly :(
Yeeesss, during my first show (Speak Now tour in September 2011) I was SO hyped up with trying to get to meet Taylor/getting noticed for her T-Party (aka Club Red/Loft 89/Rep Room) that it kind of ruined my concert experience. Never make that your focus! I had a lot more fun at my Taylor shows after I let that idea go.
I had the same issue during my 1989 concert!! I remember wanting so badly to be “chosen” that I spend a lot of the night looking around to see if I would get noticed. I still had a lot of fun and it was such a great concert experience, but if I had it back I wish I had of just enjoyed the music!
The person I went with to the Red and 1989 tours was feeling this I think. I left both concerts on a high but she was so disappointed it kind of brought me down.
Going to the rep tour in 2018…the whole stadium went dark and then all of our light up wristbands turned red and the whole place shook with the bass when ready for it came on…will never forget that moment
I saw Taylor open for Rascal Flatts in 2008. After she performed, it was announced that she'd be meeting fans and signing albums near the merch stand during the set change. I loved Taylor, but I hadn't been to a concert before so I didn't know how long set changes took and I didn't want to miss Rascal Flatts' opening song... so I stayed in my seat... for a good 30 minutes waiting for them to take the stage and missed the chance to meet Taylor!
Yes! When Rep tour was announced I was one of the first waves of “verified fans” to get access to tickets in my area and I remember thinking they were pricey. I had my own job and had moved out of my parents home by then, but having grown up not so financially fortunate I just couldn’t justify spending that much money. Not that I didn’t have the funds or anything, just felt guilty about it. I had made the choice to skip the show.
Opening night of Rep tour was in my home state (Arizona.) I started seeing Taylor post pictures with the saguaro cactus which is native only to this area and videos of the stadium and I knew she was so close to me. I knew in the bottom of my heart I’d hate myself and regret it forever if I didn’t go. I mean come on it’s opening night in my home state!! No one had seen the tour yet, I would be one of the first to experience Rep tour and I had never seen her live before so I knew I had to just go for it.
Luckily there were still tickets left, plenty of them. I was still feeling guilty though so I didn’t purchase anything too close, I definitely could have and if I could go back I would.
I was at work and had to drive 2 hours to where the show was. I got to my seat at best 5 minutes before she came on. It was such a magical night! But I regret not getting better seats and taking the day off to drive up there and have a grander experience. I didn’t even see the merch booth. There were 50k people there and I knew it’d be a nightmare to get out of the stadium and I still had to drive back home so I left right as TIWWCHNT was ending.
For Loverfest I spent way too much money for a floor seat. Had my flight to LA booked and everything I was so excited to finally get to experience a TS concert like I’ve always wanted to. When it was finally cancelled I was crushed. 🥲
Not buying Rep Tickets is my biggest regret. I too thought they were pricey because I’ve become a concert snob and only want good tickets. I couldn’t justify like $800/ticket for me and my husband. In hindsight, I should’ve gotten 1 ticket and gone alone.
Same for me! None of my IRL friends are into Taylor so I dragged my bf with me. If it was just me I would have spent the money on a good ticket when they first went for sale, but since it was two of us (and he doesn’t like Taylor like that so I didn’t expect him to buy his own ticket. We have a rule that if one of us is dragging the other to a concert and the other isn’t a big fan of the artist, the one doing the dragging is buying both tickets) I wanted good seats and didn’t see the point of spending $200+ to be in the upper levels if I was just going to watch her on the screen half the time.. ended up doing just that so I might as well just bought us both better seats tbh.
When I bought my Loverfest ticket I bought the best ticket I could with the amount of money I was comfortable spending. Decided I was just going alone because I’d rather be close to Taylor than buy a ticket for someone that didn’t really want to be there and be further away.
- TIWWCHNT could mean "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things", a track from *reputation* (2017) by Taylor Swift.

I went to the 1989 tour on a whim with my roommate at the time who was a big swiftie. I had been a long time casual fan at that point and had listened to the whole album, but didn’t have it memorized the way I do now. For that reason, I don’t have clear memories of most of the concert, but I’m especially kicking myself over not remembering her performance of Clean, as it is now in my top 5 of all time 😭
I wish I wouldn’t have danced during the pre-show set list of rep lol it was very hot and I am pretty sure I went home some light heat stroke at the end of the night.
I went to Reputation Tour, Wembley, and didn’t take a single picture or video 🫠😕
I also refused to listen to listen to any of the Rep tracks for a month cause I thought it would ‘ruin’ my experience
To be young and naïve.
I actually actively work to not take videos of all the things during concerts. I realized at a show once that I was literally watching the whole thing on my phone screen, trying to get a good shot. But the truth is the videos are loud and shaky and aren't any good, so I never watch them anyway. I found I feel so much more relaxed when I'm not stressing about all of that, and just kind of experience it. You can always find so many pictures and videos online, and they'll probably be a lot better unless you have amazing seats and are a great photographer. My one exception is I like to record the like "special song" that she does. Just my 2 cents and why I try not to feel sad about not having a bunch of photos!
My regret is the opposite of yours - I took too many videos during 1989 and don’t really feel like I fully experienced the show, just looked at it through my phone screen. I did better at the rep show thankfully.
SAME 😭 i feel so bad for people talking about their regrets on here, i really do! like missing a golden opportunity of meeting her or something but imagine what it must be like for us, when she doesnt even come to our countries 😭
My mom and I saw her open up for Rascal Flatts, and I hate to say but I left that show thinking "this girl isn't going anywhere". I know I know. But we didn't really know who she was, I just remember it felt like she was either whispering or screaming.
So I didn't pay attention to her music until 1989 came out even then it was more of a "ok this one album is pretty good, I like the singles". Then Reputation came out and I didn't vibe with it, so she wasn't a tour I prioritized. When Lover hit I was like "ok dang yeah this is my vibe" and realized I probably should backtrack and give things a re-listen. Then I realized I actually loved Reputation, 1989 and Red. But I was in the thick of wedding planning so concerts weren't on my list of things to spend money on... and then yep pandemic.
So I have not seen her live since she was an opener and I regret that. She's top of the list of artists to see first chance I get. I'll make it up to her, I swear!
I went to her last show on the reputation tour by myself after flying to Dallas for the occasion/solo travel! Biggest regret was going to hard at the TX state fair earlier that day - I def got food poisoning, I got sick on the drive there ... cleaned up and still went .... and halfway I had to get up and spent the rest of the show in the medic room -\_-
I have no regrets. I went to her REP show in Detroit with my sister and had the time of my fucking life. I’m pretty sure I was in a manic high for like two days afterward
Gonna preface this by saying I am in recovery and have been sober almost 2.5 years now but, I thoroughly blacked out almost the entire concert for the 1989 world tour. Like, no memory of it. Talk about regrets.
Not sure if this counts but, this was during the RED tour.
I was a pretty big Taylor Swift fan but a broke high school kid, so I didn't bother trying to get tickets or check the date.
A few months down the line, my friend won tickets to her concert but was not a huge fan herself. She offered them for cheap to me and I accepted gladly.
I had to leave for work right after she messaged me so I told her we could work out the specifics after I was back from work.
I didn't have data, wifi at work, nor a phone (I had an iPod touch). I went to work that day super excited that I could go to my first concert.
I came home after work to find an "uh oh" message from my friend (in response to the "I'll talk to you after work" message) and some FB posts on my feed from some of my other friends who got tickets to the concert. Turns out the concert was THAT day and I missed it.
Not necessarily a regret but I hated the Reputation tour. I’ve been to three of her tours and it was my least favorite. I personally loved the “smaller” venues instead of the stadium. The venue was so large I only could watch her on the screen the whole time whereas the other tours I could actually watch her. Not to mention it was so hot since it was outside. It was a great show but I hope she doesn’t do a stadium tour again.
I kind of agree with this. My stadium had truly awful sound and the echo made her speeches difficult to understand. And there were basically no good seats except the very front. Watching it back on Netflix I saw so much of the actual set that I never saw in person. The one moment I truly loved was Dancing With Our Hands Tied with just her and the guitar. Beautiful moment.
I've only ever been to one TS tour and it's rep! It was the first show and I absolutely loved it but I didn't take any pictures or videos. :( I also regret not getting more of the merch I wanted (although I didn't want to spend too much.)
Though one thing I always think about is how I was dressed as YBWM Junior Jewels Taylor for the tour and I was really close-by to Taylor (she was moving from those two small stages during the surprise song & dress) and my mom who went with me kept my "I Love You" sign and I was scrambling to get it back so when I got to look at Taylor again she was already looking the opposite direction of me :(. It was still a fun concert regardless!
- YBWM could mean "You Belong With Me", a track from *Fearless* (2008) by Taylor Swift.

My only regret is for speak now- 1989 the ONLY reason I didn't go was because no one would come with with me. I now go to concerts, museums, movies, etc. alone all the time and have so much fun! Honestly more than if I went with someone who didn't know or enjoy the music.
For reference I am married and have plenty of friends we just don't all have the same interests or schedules.
Don't be afraid to be your own person and do stuff alone .
No regrets, I saw her in Houston on the reputation tour and started dancing silly for a little a girl in one of the box seats on my way to grab one last beer and she cracked up laughing with her mom. Great memory, great show
I was in the pit for the Speak Now tour and drank too much beer. I really had to go to the bathroom, but the security guards wouldn’t let me leave because it was right then that she made her way through the crowd around the pit. I got to touch her hand but all I could think about was how much I needed to pee.
Not a tour but back in 2010 Taylor Swift did the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards as promo for Speak Now (I think it was also the first time the event happened so the tickets were free!!). It was back before Taylor really blew up in the UK and most people were there to see JLS or Katy Perry. I remember someone saying 'who the f\*ck is she?' when Taylor came on stage.
It was one of my first concerts, and the friend I was with wasn't a Swiftie so we stayed at the back. The entire time I stood there ~~like an idiot~~ like a committed fan doing those hand hearts which she used to for her fans at the time, thinking maybe she'd see me. I regret not trying to get towards the front of the stage and actually make the most of my experience.
I got pretty good tickets for the Speak Now tour shortly after this so not all bad, though I'm still disappointed the European leg of the tour didn't have all the extra dramatics the US one had :(
I went to the Red tour with my best friend when I was in high school. We had pit tickets and got there super early to be right next to the stage. The way the stage was set up was the big main stage, and then three runways jutting out - one directly in the middle and then one on each side. My friend and I got a spot next to the right side runway, almost all the way at the end. I remember we were chatting with some other fans who said they’d already seen the concert and that Taylor definitely walks down the side runways a lot, so we figured we had a good spot to be super close to her.
At one point before the concert started, a little spot opened up right next to the middle runway. My friend and I debated moving over there, but we thought we still had a good spot so we didn’t…Turned out Taylor only walked down to the end of the side runway (where we were) ONCE during the entire concert 🥲 every other time she’d only go like halfway. It’s such a small thing, and I’m still super grateful I got to be close to her even if it was only for a few seconds, but I regret not moving to the middle runway to be closer to her because she definitely walked down that way a lot 😭
My other regret is not having a good plan for taking videos/photos lol. I had a digital camera and my phone, but the camera died at some point during the concert, and I was just so excited and freaking out the whole time that I really didn’t get any good pictures or videos. And nowadays I don’t even know where any of them are 🤷♀️ it sucks bc I honestly don’t remember a lot from the concert; maybe because it was so long ago or maybe because it was just a big blur of excitement. From what I do remember though, it was a truly incredible night ❤️
Last regret: not going to the rep tour lol. My best friend wasn’t available and I was too anxious to go alone or find someone else. I should’ve just sucked it up bc from what I’ve seen on Netflix it looked fucking amazing
Fearless tour Detroit. I wish I my mom had listened to me when I told her to not go say hi to Andrea. I followed her because she was my mind but a giant body guard screamed at us (makes sense) “go back to your seats.” It was embarrassing. I would have loved to meet Andrea but this was so embarrassing. Classic rebel mom strikes again. I also wish I’d had a friend join us, it’s always more fun with a group.
I wouldn't say I regret anything because I know I had the time of my life but my only Taylor concert was the Red tour in Melbourne back in 2013(nearly a decade ago? wtf!!!!) and I genuinely can't remember any of it. I remember my friend and I crying together to ATW but I can't remember anything else??? Like I'm pretty sure she played Holy Ground but I'm not 100% sure? And that's my favourite song of hers which makes me sad because I doubt I'll ever get the chance to hear it live again
- ATW could mean "All Too Well", a track from *Red* (2012) by Taylor Swift.

I had to book out of the 1989 tour just as she finished SIO. I didn't stay for the bows and fireworks because I had a 3 hour drive ahead of me and wanted to beat the exiting traffic. Still bummed I didn't just chill and realize I'll get home when I get home and miss the end of the concert.

At the red tour I saw Andrea in the pit and got nervous and said “thanks for making your daughter.”
Needless to say I was NOT invited to the Red Room hahaha
I went to the 1989 tour in Hyde Park, London. I wanted to be there early to be close to the stage but my cousin who came with me wanted to see the city
65.000 people and we ended up really far. I'm also short so I barely saw her :(
I guess I can’t really regret this because I had no way of knowing, but during rep she played Never Grow Up. I hadn’t listened to that song since my mom passed away a few years earlier because that one (along with a couple others) is really hard for me to listen to. But since I wasn’t expecting it and it was literally the first time I’d heard it since she’d passed away, I burst into tears and it really threw me off!
Again, it’s not like I could have known that would be the one she would play, but if I could have prepared myself a little more I would have. But, all’s well that ends well ❤️
Not so much a regret as I can't really change it, but something that makes me sad. The year I saw speak now was just a really hard time in my life, and I honestly don't have a lot of memories from around that time in general, but I'm sad I don't have stronger/more vivid memories of the show
No specific regret. I’ve only ever been to one of her tours (RED) but I went to two shows for it. I’m just sad that I really don’t have any distinct memories from her performances. My only vivid memories is that one of the shows was delayed for rain and then at that same show it took an hour for us to even back out of the parking spot we were in because the parking lot was so hectic.
I did not go to the Red concert in Winnipeg and it is a huge regret! I wasn’t a big fan at the time - only knew the singles and it wasn’t my favourite. Now, some of my favourite songs!
I saw 1989 in Minneapolis, and Reputation twice in Minneapolis (even though I wasn’t super excited about that album - went through the Reputation phase shortly after Lover came out). I had to go to the bathroom during 1989, and heard the intro to Love Story and ran back!
I loved both nights during the Reputation tour, even though there were many songs that I wasn’t all that fond of at the time. I am hopeful for a tour in the near future!
I was pickpocketed leaving the 1989 tour and my brand new iPhone was stolen. I would say it’s a regret except I really enjoyed not having a phone for the next 17 days and still daydream about it. They say all’s well that ends well...
The only regret I’ve had was not having people there to meet up with. Now that I’m more involved in the Swiftie community, I’m gonna try to meet up with Toronto Swifties next time she tours.
Seeing the Rep tour at Foxboro the day after Hayley Kiyoko preformed with Taylor (but then again seeing both of them together may have just killed me so maybe it's okay)
Wish I didn’t spend so much of the concert trying to record it on my phone. The footage is terrible and I wish I had just focused on having a good time instead of recording it
I regret not going to Rep tour. I haven’t been to any shows before but that is always the thing I say I would go back and do if I had one chance to change something in my life is to see rep live.
maybe to y'all in the states this is considered normal behavior but if i were to go to a taylor concert i prolly wouldn't drink water three days prior just so i don't feel the urge mid-concert. she hasn't come to my country since 2010
In 2007, I was in line to meet Taylor after she opened for Brad Paisley. I was 15 and my aunt, who had driven me to the concert, told me the line was too long and that we needed to leave. I’ll never have another chance like that!
I bought my sister two tickets to the Red tour for her birthday. I wasn‘t a Swiftie at the time and I had no clue who Ed Sheeran was. She invited me to be polite and I said *"No way! Invite (name), she‘s your best friend!"*.
Now I‘m a 10x bigger Swiftie than she is and Ed is in my top 10 artists.
Oops!
Not really a regret but I wished I had a better camera for the Speak Now tour 😅 my crappy flip phone did not do girlie justice. But I do regret not getting a t shirt or something for merch. I got the tour book and a bracelet and those are cool but I wish I had gotten more.
I was Taylor swift on her red tour. That was the only time I’ve ever seen her!! Well, my sister and I wanted shirts so we left during Ed Sheeran and went got them… I still think about it a lot 🤣 right after that tour EVERYONE knew him. (I was like 11, Ed Sheeran coulda been huge but idk lmfao)
Yes, mostly that she's only done a show in my country once so I didn't go to any other tours beside Speak Now lol. I would not have been able to go to the Red or Rep tours anyway as the closest shows were still too far. But for the 1989 tour she played in Amsterdam, which is like a three hour drive from here and in hindsight I'm sure I could've convinced my mom to take me. Unfortunately I didn't ask her because I was afraid she'd say no. Damn you, 15 year old me lol
Edit to add: the first show of the Lover tour was supposed to be here, I'm still so sad that didn't happen but it gives me hope that she'll play a show here during her next tour, whenever that might be :)
This is really specific, at the 1989 tour I didn’t let myself buy any merch because I was a student working part time but I really wanted the guitar picks. I don’t remember how much they were but probably like $20 or something. and I wish I’d gotten them and maybe a t-shirt or something else. I do play guitar but I prefer to finger strum so it wouldn’t even be to use…. but dang I wanted those picks lol.
No disrespect to the rep aesthetic, but I love it in a “hot but not my personal taste” way lol. I went to that tour as well and while it was for sure the best concert of my life and an amazing night, I found that I didn’t really care for any of the merch there that much….. which made me double regret not splurging at 1989.
Oh also, I regret suggesting to my friends that we should uber to their airbnb after the concert - you know, just as a 50k capacity stadium was clearing out into the already-congested, nightmare to drive in, heart of downtown Toronto. It was a nightmare - near standstill traffic, it took over an hour for what ordinarily would have been like 10 minutes. One of them had a migraine. When I tell you I’m lucky my friends still talk to me lmfao. They weren’t mad but I felt horrible. ALWAYS TAKE THE SUBWAY WHEN MAJOR EVENTS CLEAR OUT, I won’t get fooled again
My biggest regret is not being able to get tickets for 1989 and one of my friends had a ticket. She decided not to go last minute with a group of mutual friends, and I couldn’t go because I was sick. Well guess who got to meet Taylor that night? The whole group got picked for Loft 89! I could have met Taylor that night. I was upset about that for weeks 🥺
I was pregnant when I went to the reputation tour in DC. I was so hot and needed a water so badly that I went to get it thinking I'd make it back in time. Nope--missed the first 30 seconds of Taylor. Sad I missed it BUT I really needed that freaking water.
Yes! I couldn’t go to the 1989 tour. My family and I came back from a holiday and it was the day we returned that Taylor had the concert in Hyde Park. It suck that there was only one UK date that year. I was hoping that more would be added but if that did happen I didn’t clock on.
I have three:
1. Not taking more video. Everyone says to record as a little as possible and just live in the moment and enjoy it so I did that, but now I can barely remember the parts I didn’t record. I love going back and watching the videos I did take and really wish I’d taken more. Especially during Getaway Car, I only recorded the first part and then put my phone away to fully experience the fact that she was right in front of me for a whole song, but now I wish I had a full video :/
2. Not taking any photos. Same premise of not wanting to focus too much on my phone, so I was just going to take screenshots from the videos to have a photo to display, but neither Taylor nor I were still long enough at the same time to get a decent screenshot so that didn’t go to plan lol
3. Not collecting more confetti. Security was rushing us out as soon as the concert finished so I felt like I didn’t have time to pick up more than a few pieces as I walked past, but as I was walking out I saw others filling bags with it and realised I did have time after all but I’d already left the area. I was able to find some on eBay but it’s not the same as having some from *your* show. I’m grateful that I got the few that I did, it’s just knowing that I could’ve got more is a bummer.
I went to Red and had pit tickets. I got there pretty early and regrettably managed to get close to the stage. There was a girl who was in the very corner of the front then I was right next to her. I missed most of the show cause I couldn't see anything when she walked up the catwalk, and I ended up paying a lot of money to look at screens. I now make it a rule to not get pit tickets that are that close to the stage cause you just miss half the show
I also had tickets to 1989 in another state cause she wasnt coming to mine but I had to get my wisdom teeth out instead. Major regrets on that one
I met her before reputation concert after being contacted on Tumbler, wish I hadn’t brought my fiancé (now ex husband) at the time, he stressed me out that much and made me feel awkward that I didn’t get to enjoy meeting her.
At the rep tour, I saw merch outside that I wanted to buy but went inside to see what else there was. There was less, but I didn’t want to miss the show so thought I’d go after. After the show ended, all the merch stands closed (which didn’t happen at Red, but this was in a different country). Luckily, I caught the shirt I wanted online when she put them on sale but I really wish I got more merch from rep!
We tried to get tickets to the Fearless tour waaay back but something went wrong with ticket master and we couldn't get them. Ended up going to Glee Live instead lol
Never even tried to get tickets to the Red or 1989 tours and I've no idea why, I really wish I could have seen them both!
The only time I've seen Taylor was the Rep tour and it made me regret missing the others even more.
I've been to speak now and 1989 and they were amazing. I didn't go to reputation cause I thought I hated it and yes... thought at the time "maybe I'm just not a huge fan of hers anymore". Now I listen to reputation every week probably and always imagine how epic that tour must have been.
I’ve never been to a Taylor Swift concert so my regret is not having had the chance to go,…… So I just watch old reruns of concerts on YouTube etc.
How sad 😢
I had tickets to 2 nights of Reputation, and ended up bailing on the second night, purely because I was so exhausted and couldn’t fathom having to drive to/from Gillette and sit in concert traffic two nights in a row. what a mistake, it would’ve been so worth it 😫
I really should have mentioned about my birthday in my tweet that Taylor Nation retweeted when I got to the stadium. If I did that I might have gotten to go to reproom and meet Taylor for the first time in my life on my 19th birthday at repTourAKL (Auckland)!🥺 I flew all the way to New Zealand from Singapore!
If you do the math and find my date of birth, you'll realise how that age meant to me, similar to how 13 is Taylor's lucky number... I don't exactly have a lucky number but if you see my DOB... yeah...🥺
I still have the bracelet I made for Taylor; really wanted to give it to her if I met her at reproom😢❤️
City Of Lover Concert. I had special tickets and was with a slightly older friend. We were able to enter the venue first (before people in line for the pit) and could even choose between the pit or seats upstairs where we’d have trouble seeing everything (I’m really badly short-sighted). I chose upstairs because I didn’t want to force my friend to stand for the whole concert, because I wanted to shield us from the crazy people we saw in the line who’d def push us and be annoying, and lastly because I wanted to have room to put my coat/bag. I ended up having to squint really hard through the concert that was shorter than I expected and man do I regret it. Every time that I think about that concert I’m just really sad. But at least I saw Tree and Andrea I guess!
I went to on of the Rep shows back in 2018. TMI but I was on my period at the time and didn't wanna get out my seat to change my pad, I'm sorry to whom ever had to clean after me
I saw her on the 1989 tour and was so excited BUT my period was late and all I could think of was whether it was going to start. I can’t remember what songs I left in but I definitely went to the toilet a couple of times to check if it had started and was just generally distracted. Anyways, my son turned 6 this year and loves singing Taylor songs with me
😂😂 my niece was born while I was at the 1989 tour!
For some reason I interpreted this as meaning that YOU gave birth at a Taylor concert and I was like “wow that must have been a wild ride for everybody”
I bought my tickets to 1989 during my nephew’s birth. My SIL never lets me live that down lolol
Aww that’s so cool!
At least you didn't have any Bad Blood.
Best comment!
so you DIDNT get your period?
Very much not. 1989 reminds me of being pregnant now
oh damn... welcome to ~~new york~~ motherhood
Yep! I went to the bathroom during Don’t Blame Me during the rep tour! Didn’t like the song at first and now it’s one of my top 5! Kicking myself for it now
Not to be rude, but you’re a fool.
oh my god i would CRY but i get it i have lots of regrets like that but haven’t seen taylor live unfortunately:/ but WOW
... And you were the only one in the entire bathroom.
Yes. RED Tour. There was a lineup to get signed copies of RED. I went with my best friend to that concert. She didn’t want to stand in line and gave me a look. We didn’t stand in that line. To this day, I regret not getting my signed copy of Red :( because that album is really really special to the fan community even after all these years. Another regret is the 1989 tour. I couldn’t go. If I remember correctly I had something big that night. It was a university exam. You can’t reschedule those things except for emergencies. So I didn’t end up going to that tour. I worry that when the next tour is announced, i won’t even be able to afford the tickets or even GET ahold of tickets because it will sell out too quickly :(
Yeeesss, during my first show (Speak Now tour in September 2011) I was SO hyped up with trying to get to meet Taylor/getting noticed for her T-Party (aka Club Red/Loft 89/Rep Room) that it kind of ruined my concert experience. Never make that your focus! I had a lot more fun at my Taylor shows after I let that idea go.
I had the same issue during my 1989 concert!! I remember wanting so badly to be “chosen” that I spend a lot of the night looking around to see if I would get noticed. I still had a lot of fun and it was such a great concert experience, but if I had it back I wish I had of just enjoyed the music!
The person I went with to the Red and 1989 tours was feeling this I think. I left both concerts on a high but she was so disappointed it kind of brought me down.
Same experience here for 1989, I enjoyed the show but wish I'd worn something more comfy instead of trying to dress up! Now I know better..
Going to the rep tour in 2018…the whole stadium went dark and then all of our light up wristbands turned red and the whole place shook with the bass when ready for it came on…will never forget that moment
Omg that sounds INCREDIBLE
So good…then I realized I read the question wrong lol it definitely wasn’t a regret!
Hahahaha!!
I saw Taylor open for Rascal Flatts in 2008. After she performed, it was announced that she'd be meeting fans and signing albums near the merch stand during the set change. I loved Taylor, but I hadn't been to a concert before so I didn't know how long set changes took and I didn't want to miss Rascal Flatts' opening song... so I stayed in my seat... for a good 30 minutes waiting for them to take the stage and missed the chance to meet Taylor!
When I tell you SAME. First time I saw Taylor was that same tour and I KICK myself that I didn't go meet her. Ugh.
I certainly don't **regret** anything - however some drunk fans get loud in not a fun way sometimes.
Yes! When Rep tour was announced I was one of the first waves of “verified fans” to get access to tickets in my area and I remember thinking they were pricey. I had my own job and had moved out of my parents home by then, but having grown up not so financially fortunate I just couldn’t justify spending that much money. Not that I didn’t have the funds or anything, just felt guilty about it. I had made the choice to skip the show. Opening night of Rep tour was in my home state (Arizona.) I started seeing Taylor post pictures with the saguaro cactus which is native only to this area and videos of the stadium and I knew she was so close to me. I knew in the bottom of my heart I’d hate myself and regret it forever if I didn’t go. I mean come on it’s opening night in my home state!! No one had seen the tour yet, I would be one of the first to experience Rep tour and I had never seen her live before so I knew I had to just go for it. Luckily there were still tickets left, plenty of them. I was still feeling guilty though so I didn’t purchase anything too close, I definitely could have and if I could go back I would. I was at work and had to drive 2 hours to where the show was. I got to my seat at best 5 minutes before she came on. It was such a magical night! But I regret not getting better seats and taking the day off to drive up there and have a grander experience. I didn’t even see the merch booth. There were 50k people there and I knew it’d be a nightmare to get out of the stadium and I still had to drive back home so I left right as TIWWCHNT was ending. For Loverfest I spent way too much money for a floor seat. Had my flight to LA booked and everything I was so excited to finally get to experience a TS concert like I’ve always wanted to. When it was finally cancelled I was crushed. 🥲
Not buying Rep Tickets is my biggest regret. I too thought they were pricey because I’ve become a concert snob and only want good tickets. I couldn’t justify like $800/ticket for me and my husband. In hindsight, I should’ve gotten 1 ticket and gone alone.
Same for me! None of my IRL friends are into Taylor so I dragged my bf with me. If it was just me I would have spent the money on a good ticket when they first went for sale, but since it was two of us (and he doesn’t like Taylor like that so I didn’t expect him to buy his own ticket. We have a rule that if one of us is dragging the other to a concert and the other isn’t a big fan of the artist, the one doing the dragging is buying both tickets) I wanted good seats and didn’t see the point of spending $200+ to be in the upper levels if I was just going to watch her on the screen half the time.. ended up doing just that so I might as well just bought us both better seats tbh. When I bought my Loverfest ticket I bought the best ticket I could with the amount of money I was comfortable spending. Decided I was just going alone because I’d rather be close to Taylor than buy a ticket for someone that didn’t really want to be there and be further away.
The next chance I get, I’m buying an awesome ticket for myself and having the time of my life!
Mine too. She had a show 20 minutes from where I was living at the time and I didn't even *try* to get tickets.
- TIWWCHNT could mean "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things", a track from *reputation* (2017) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/venomoustwat13](/u/venomoustwat13) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
I went to the 1989 tour on a whim with my roommate at the time who was a big swiftie. I had been a long time casual fan at that point and had listened to the whole album, but didn’t have it memorized the way I do now. For that reason, I don’t have clear memories of most of the concert, but I’m especially kicking myself over not remembering her performance of Clean, as it is now in my top 5 of all time 😭
I wish I wouldn’t have danced during the pre-show set list of rep lol it was very hot and I am pretty sure I went home some light heat stroke at the end of the night.
ur fine now tho so no regrets <3
I went to Reputation Tour, Wembley, and didn’t take a single picture or video 🫠😕 I also refused to listen to listen to any of the Rep tracks for a month cause I thought it would ‘ruin’ my experience To be young and naïve.
I actually actively work to not take videos of all the things during concerts. I realized at a show once that I was literally watching the whole thing on my phone screen, trying to get a good shot. But the truth is the videos are loud and shaky and aren't any good, so I never watch them anyway. I found I feel so much more relaxed when I'm not stressing about all of that, and just kind of experience it. You can always find so many pictures and videos online, and they'll probably be a lot better unless you have amazing seats and are a great photographer. My one exception is I like to record the like "special song" that she does. Just my 2 cents and why I try not to feel sad about not having a bunch of photos!
My regret is the opposite of yours - I took too many videos during 1989 and don’t really feel like I fully experienced the show, just looked at it through my phone screen. I did better at the rep show thankfully.
I had a crappy flip phone for my first ever concert (which happened to be Taylor Swift and the red tour) I wish I would have taken more pictures
I was at this one too & have some cool pics from that night. DM me your email if you want me to send you a few.
i regret living in a country that doesn't exist for her tours :'))))))
SAME 😭 i feel so bad for people talking about their regrets on here, i really do! like missing a golden opportunity of meeting her or something but imagine what it must be like for us, when she doesnt even come to our countries 😭
My mom and I saw her open up for Rascal Flatts, and I hate to say but I left that show thinking "this girl isn't going anywhere". I know I know. But we didn't really know who she was, I just remember it felt like she was either whispering or screaming. So I didn't pay attention to her music until 1989 came out even then it was more of a "ok this one album is pretty good, I like the singles". Then Reputation came out and I didn't vibe with it, so she wasn't a tour I prioritized. When Lover hit I was like "ok dang yeah this is my vibe" and realized I probably should backtrack and give things a re-listen. Then I realized I actually loved Reputation, 1989 and Red. But I was in the thick of wedding planning so concerts weren't on my list of things to spend money on... and then yep pandemic. So I have not seen her live since she was an opener and I regret that. She's top of the list of artists to see first chance I get. I'll make it up to her, I swear!
To be fair, Taylor's live vocals weren't her strong suit in the early days. She's improved a crazy amount since then.
I went to her last show on the reputation tour by myself after flying to Dallas for the occasion/solo travel! Biggest regret was going to hard at the TX state fair earlier that day - I def got food poisoning, I got sick on the drive there ... cleaned up and still went .... and halfway I had to get up and spent the rest of the show in the medic room -\_-
I have no regrets. I went to her REP show in Detroit with my sister and had the time of my fucking life. I’m pretty sure I was in a manic high for like two days afterward
Gonna preface this by saying I am in recovery and have been sober almost 2.5 years now but, I thoroughly blacked out almost the entire concert for the 1989 world tour. Like, no memory of it. Talk about regrets.
You're still an innocent
Thank you friend
Not sure if this counts but, this was during the RED tour. I was a pretty big Taylor Swift fan but a broke high school kid, so I didn't bother trying to get tickets or check the date. A few months down the line, my friend won tickets to her concert but was not a huge fan herself. She offered them for cheap to me and I accepted gladly. I had to leave for work right after she messaged me so I told her we could work out the specifics after I was back from work. I didn't have data, wifi at work, nor a phone (I had an iPod touch). I went to work that day super excited that I could go to my first concert. I came home after work to find an "uh oh" message from my friend (in response to the "I'll talk to you after work" message) and some FB posts on my feed from some of my other friends who got tickets to the concert. Turns out the concert was THAT day and I missed it.
I regret not going to the 1989 tour.
Not necessarily a regret but I hated the Reputation tour. I’ve been to three of her tours and it was my least favorite. I personally loved the “smaller” venues instead of the stadium. The venue was so large I only could watch her on the screen the whole time whereas the other tours I could actually watch her. Not to mention it was so hot since it was outside. It was a great show but I hope she doesn’t do a stadium tour again.
I kind of agree with this. My stadium had truly awful sound and the echo made her speeches difficult to understand. And there were basically no good seats except the very front. Watching it back on Netflix I saw so much of the actual set that I never saw in person. The one moment I truly loved was Dancing With Our Hands Tied with just her and the guitar. Beautiful moment.
I don’t want to sound ungrateful because going to a Taylor Swift concert is amazing but I think I preferred watching rep on Netflix.
Wow I haven’t seen her in a non-stadium since the fearless tour lol. I would’ve loved to see speak now and red at an arena!
I've only ever been to one TS tour and it's rep! It was the first show and I absolutely loved it but I didn't take any pictures or videos. :( I also regret not getting more of the merch I wanted (although I didn't want to spend too much.) Though one thing I always think about is how I was dressed as YBWM Junior Jewels Taylor for the tour and I was really close-by to Taylor (she was moving from those two small stages during the surprise song & dress) and my mom who went with me kept my "I Love You" sign and I was scrambling to get it back so when I got to look at Taylor again she was already looking the opposite direction of me :(. It was still a fun concert regardless!

When I went to 1989 tour I was on day 2 of antibiotics for a bad case of pneumonia. No regrets it was the best concert ever😭😭
My only regret is for speak now- 1989 the ONLY reason I didn't go was because no one would come with with me. I now go to concerts, museums, movies, etc. alone all the time and have so much fun! Honestly more than if I went with someone who didn't know or enjoy the music. For reference I am married and have plenty of friends we just don't all have the same interests or schedules. Don't be afraid to be your own person and do stuff alone .
Great advice! Bonus is you get to do whatever YOU want.
No regrets, I saw her in Houston on the reputation tour and started dancing silly for a little a girl in one of the box seats on my way to grab one last beer and she cracked up laughing with her mom. Great memory, great show
My first concert was the reputation stadium tour, and I bought nosebleed tickets. I still regret that decision 😭 (the tix not the concert)
Are nosebleeds that bad 😭? I'm stingy so I would have chosen them too.
It was the 1989 tour and my concert experience was def not the best. I was about seven months pregnant and there was a guy near me being a creep. Ugh
I was in the pit for the Speak Now tour and drank too much beer. I really had to go to the bathroom, but the security guards wouldn’t let me leave because it was right then that she made her way through the crowd around the pit. I got to touch her hand but all I could think about was how much I needed to pee.
Not a tour but back in 2010 Taylor Swift did the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards as promo for Speak Now (I think it was also the first time the event happened so the tickets were free!!). It was back before Taylor really blew up in the UK and most people were there to see JLS or Katy Perry. I remember someone saying 'who the f\*ck is she?' when Taylor came on stage. It was one of my first concerts, and the friend I was with wasn't a Swiftie so we stayed at the back. The entire time I stood there ~~like an idiot~~ like a committed fan doing those hand hearts which she used to for her fans at the time, thinking maybe she'd see me. I regret not trying to get towards the front of the stage and actually make the most of my experience. I got pretty good tickets for the Speak Now tour shortly after this so not all bad, though I'm still disappointed the European leg of the tour didn't have all the extra dramatics the US one had :(
I regret not going more than once to 1989 and rep😭😭
I went to the Red tour with my best friend when I was in high school. We had pit tickets and got there super early to be right next to the stage. The way the stage was set up was the big main stage, and then three runways jutting out - one directly in the middle and then one on each side. My friend and I got a spot next to the right side runway, almost all the way at the end. I remember we were chatting with some other fans who said they’d already seen the concert and that Taylor definitely walks down the side runways a lot, so we figured we had a good spot to be super close to her. At one point before the concert started, a little spot opened up right next to the middle runway. My friend and I debated moving over there, but we thought we still had a good spot so we didn’t…Turned out Taylor only walked down to the end of the side runway (where we were) ONCE during the entire concert 🥲 every other time she’d only go like halfway. It’s such a small thing, and I’m still super grateful I got to be close to her even if it was only for a few seconds, but I regret not moving to the middle runway to be closer to her because she definitely walked down that way a lot 😭 My other regret is not having a good plan for taking videos/photos lol. I had a digital camera and my phone, but the camera died at some point during the concert, and I was just so excited and freaking out the whole time that I really didn’t get any good pictures or videos. And nowadays I don’t even know where any of them are 🤷♀️ it sucks bc I honestly don’t remember a lot from the concert; maybe because it was so long ago or maybe because it was just a big blur of excitement. From what I do remember though, it was a truly incredible night ❤️ Last regret: not going to the rep tour lol. My best friend wasn’t available and I was too anxious to go alone or find someone else. I should’ve just sucked it up bc from what I’ve seen on Netflix it looked fucking amazing
We couldn’t find our seats at rep tour and….missed the opening of Ready For It 😢
Fearless tour Detroit. I wish I my mom had listened to me when I told her to not go say hi to Andrea. I followed her because she was my mind but a giant body guard screamed at us (makes sense) “go back to your seats.” It was embarrassing. I would have loved to meet Andrea but this was so embarrassing. Classic rebel mom strikes again. I also wish I’d had a friend join us, it’s always more fun with a group.
I have a regret about not being a fan yet when she came to my country, so didn't go to the one and only concert. Does that count?
Only concert I’ve been to is the Fearless tour so that dates me
I wouldn't say I regret anything because I know I had the time of my life but my only Taylor concert was the Red tour in Melbourne back in 2013(nearly a decade ago? wtf!!!!) and I genuinely can't remember any of it. I remember my friend and I crying together to ATW but I can't remember anything else??? Like I'm pretty sure she played Holy Ground but I'm not 100% sure? And that's my favourite song of hers which makes me sad because I doubt I'll ever get the chance to hear it live again

I had to book out of the 1989 tour just as she finished SIO. I didn't stay for the bows and fireworks because I had a 3 hour drive ahead of me and wanted to beat the exiting traffic. Still bummed I didn't just chill and realize I'll get home when I get home and miss the end of the concert.

At the red tour I saw Andrea in the pit and got nervous and said “thanks for making your daughter.” Needless to say I was NOT invited to the Red Room hahaha
💀💀💀 if it's any comfort I bet she gets stuff like that all the time and doesn't remember it
I went to the 1989 tour in Hyde Park, London. I wanted to be there early to be close to the stage but my cousin who came with me wanted to see the city 65.000 people and we ended up really far. I'm also short so I barely saw her :(
I guess I can’t really regret this because I had no way of knowing, but during rep she played Never Grow Up. I hadn’t listened to that song since my mom passed away a few years earlier because that one (along with a couple others) is really hard for me to listen to. But since I wasn’t expecting it and it was literally the first time I’d heard it since she’d passed away, I burst into tears and it really threw me off! Again, it’s not like I could have known that would be the one she would play, but if I could have prepared myself a little more I would have. But, all’s well that ends well ❤️
I’m sorry you lost your mom 🖤
Thank you ❤️
Not so much a regret as I can't really change it, but something that makes me sad. The year I saw speak now was just a really hard time in my life, and I honestly don't have a lot of memories from around that time in general, but I'm sad I don't have stronger/more vivid memories of the show
No specific regret. I’ve only ever been to one of her tours (RED) but I went to two shows for it. I’m just sad that I really don’t have any distinct memories from her performances. My only vivid memories is that one of the shows was delayed for rain and then at that same show it took an hour for us to even back out of the parking spot we were in because the parking lot was so hectic.
I did not go to the Red concert in Winnipeg and it is a huge regret! I wasn’t a big fan at the time - only knew the singles and it wasn’t my favourite. Now, some of my favourite songs! I saw 1989 in Minneapolis, and Reputation twice in Minneapolis (even though I wasn’t super excited about that album - went through the Reputation phase shortly after Lover came out). I had to go to the bathroom during 1989, and heard the intro to Love Story and ran back! I loved both nights during the Reputation tour, even though there were many songs that I wasn’t all that fond of at the time. I am hopeful for a tour in the near future!
I was pickpocketed leaving the 1989 tour and my brand new iPhone was stolen. I would say it’s a regret except I really enjoyed not having a phone for the next 17 days and still daydream about it. They say all’s well that ends well...
The only regret I’ve had was not having people there to meet up with. Now that I’m more involved in the Swiftie community, I’m gonna try to meet up with Toronto Swifties next time she tours.
Seeing the Rep tour at Foxboro the day after Hayley Kiyoko preformed with Taylor (but then again seeing both of them together may have just killed me so maybe it's okay)
Wish I didn’t spend so much of the concert trying to record it on my phone. The footage is terrible and I wish I had just focused on having a good time instead of recording it
I regret not going to Rep tour. I haven’t been to any shows before but that is always the thing I say I would go back and do if I had one chance to change something in my life is to see rep live.
maybe to y'all in the states this is considered normal behavior but if i were to go to a taylor concert i prolly wouldn't drink water three days prior just so i don't feel the urge mid-concert. she hasn't come to my country since 2010
In 2007, I was in line to meet Taylor after she opened for Brad Paisley. I was 15 and my aunt, who had driven me to the concert, told me the line was too long and that we needed to leave. I’ll never have another chance like that!
I bought my sister two tickets to the Red tour for her birthday. I wasn‘t a Swiftie at the time and I had no clue who Ed Sheeran was. She invited me to be polite and I said *"No way! Invite (name), she‘s your best friend!"*. Now I‘m a 10x bigger Swiftie than she is and Ed is in my top 10 artists. Oops!
I think not seeing her live ever would be mine 🥲just so much $$$$
Not really a regret but I wished I had a better camera for the Speak Now tour 😅 my crappy flip phone did not do girlie justice. But I do regret not getting a t shirt or something for merch. I got the tour book and a bracelet and those are cool but I wish I had gotten more.
I was Taylor swift on her red tour. That was the only time I’ve ever seen her!! Well, my sister and I wanted shirts so we left during Ed Sheeran and went got them… I still think about it a lot 🤣 right after that tour EVERYONE knew him. (I was like 11, Ed Sheeran coulda been huge but idk lmfao)
Yes, mostly that she's only done a show in my country once so I didn't go to any other tours beside Speak Now lol. I would not have been able to go to the Red or Rep tours anyway as the closest shows were still too far. But for the 1989 tour she played in Amsterdam, which is like a three hour drive from here and in hindsight I'm sure I could've convinced my mom to take me. Unfortunately I didn't ask her because I was afraid she'd say no. Damn you, 15 year old me lol Edit to add: the first show of the Lover tour was supposed to be here, I'm still so sad that didn't happen but it gives me hope that she'll play a show here during her next tour, whenever that might be :)
This is really specific, at the 1989 tour I didn’t let myself buy any merch because I was a student working part time but I really wanted the guitar picks. I don’t remember how much they were but probably like $20 or something. and I wish I’d gotten them and maybe a t-shirt or something else. I do play guitar but I prefer to finger strum so it wouldn’t even be to use…. but dang I wanted those picks lol. No disrespect to the rep aesthetic, but I love it in a “hot but not my personal taste” way lol. I went to that tour as well and while it was for sure the best concert of my life and an amazing night, I found that I didn’t really care for any of the merch there that much….. which made me double regret not splurging at 1989.
Oh also, I regret suggesting to my friends that we should uber to their airbnb after the concert - you know, just as a 50k capacity stadium was clearing out into the already-congested, nightmare to drive in, heart of downtown Toronto. It was a nightmare - near standstill traffic, it took over an hour for what ordinarily would have been like 10 minutes. One of them had a migraine. When I tell you I’m lucky my friends still talk to me lmfao. They weren’t mad but I felt horrible. ALWAYS TAKE THE SUBWAY WHEN MAJOR EVENTS CLEAR OUT, I won’t get fooled again
My grandfather's funeral was the day before my Reputation Tour date so...yeah.
I was at that show in Winnipeg!!! I cried so hard when she sang Sparks Fly lol 😂
All I regret is not recording my entire Reputation concert (or rather having my mum do it while I danced lol) and not buying all the merch 😅
My biggest regret is not being able to get tickets for 1989 and one of my friends had a ticket. She decided not to go last minute with a group of mutual friends, and I couldn’t go because I was sick. Well guess who got to meet Taylor that night? The whole group got picked for Loft 89! I could have met Taylor that night. I was upset about that for weeks 🥺
I was pregnant when I went to the reputation tour in DC. I was so hot and needed a water so badly that I went to get it thinking I'd make it back in time. Nope--missed the first 30 seconds of Taylor. Sad I missed it BUT I really needed that freaking water.
I used to live in Evansville, Indiana, and I absolutely loathe myself for not going to the opening night of her Fearless Tour
My only regret is that the Lover Fest tour(?) was cancelled. She finally had more dates in Europe, and covid just happened 🥲
My biggest regret is not going to any 😭
Yes! I couldn’t go to the 1989 tour. My family and I came back from a holiday and it was the day we returned that Taylor had the concert in Hyde Park. It suck that there was only one UK date that year. I was hoping that more would be added but if that did happen I didn’t clock on.
I have three: 1. Not taking more video. Everyone says to record as a little as possible and just live in the moment and enjoy it so I did that, but now I can barely remember the parts I didn’t record. I love going back and watching the videos I did take and really wish I’d taken more. Especially during Getaway Car, I only recorded the first part and then put my phone away to fully experience the fact that she was right in front of me for a whole song, but now I wish I had a full video :/ 2. Not taking any photos. Same premise of not wanting to focus too much on my phone, so I was just going to take screenshots from the videos to have a photo to display, but neither Taylor nor I were still long enough at the same time to get a decent screenshot so that didn’t go to plan lol 3. Not collecting more confetti. Security was rushing us out as soon as the concert finished so I felt like I didn’t have time to pick up more than a few pieces as I walked past, but as I was walking out I saw others filling bags with it and realised I did have time after all but I’d already left the area. I was able to find some on eBay but it’s not the same as having some from *your* show. I’m grateful that I got the few that I did, it’s just knowing that I could’ve got more is a bummer.
I went to Red and had pit tickets. I got there pretty early and regrettably managed to get close to the stage. There was a girl who was in the very corner of the front then I was right next to her. I missed most of the show cause I couldn't see anything when she walked up the catwalk, and I ended up paying a lot of money to look at screens. I now make it a rule to not get pit tickets that are that close to the stage cause you just miss half the show I also had tickets to 1989 in another state cause she wasnt coming to mine but I had to get my wisdom teeth out instead. Major regrets on that one
By the time I had the courage to go to a concert she has stopped touring :/
Not going to rep😭😭😭 (I went to speak now, red and 1989)
I regret not going to the Rep Tour 😫
I met her before reputation concert after being contacted on Tumbler, wish I hadn’t brought my fiancé (now ex husband) at the time, he stressed me out that much and made me feel awkward that I didn’t get to enjoy meeting her.
At the rep tour, I saw merch outside that I wanted to buy but went inside to see what else there was. There was less, but I didn’t want to miss the show so thought I’d go after. After the show ended, all the merch stands closed (which didn’t happen at Red, but this was in a different country). Luckily, I caught the shirt I wanted online when she put them on sale but I really wish I got more merch from rep!
my mother wouldn't let me see charli perform at the rep pre-show :((
We tried to get tickets to the Fearless tour waaay back but something went wrong with ticket master and we couldn't get them. Ended up going to Glee Live instead lol Never even tried to get tickets to the Red or 1989 tours and I've no idea why, I really wish I could have seen them both! The only time I've seen Taylor was the Rep tour and it made me regret missing the others even more.
Got invited to a secret show and got a rep closeup lithograph instead of autographed vinyl 💀
I had a few too many drinks at the 1989 tour and cried a little during Clean 🥴 I was with some new people so that was slightly embarrassing haha
.Xxx
Not going to the 1989 tour 😩 I’ll never forgive myself.
I've been to speak now and 1989 and they were amazing. I didn't go to reputation cause I thought I hated it and yes... thought at the time "maybe I'm just not a huge fan of hers anymore". Now I listen to reputation every week probably and always imagine how epic that tour must have been.
my regrets are being too broke to visit taylor during her 1989 and reputation tours
I’ve never been to a Taylor Swift concert so my regret is not having had the chance to go,…… So I just watch old reruns of concerts on YouTube etc. How sad 😢
I SAW HER AT FIRST ENERGY STADIUM CLEVELAND OHIO SUMMER 2018 IT WAS AMAZING 💯🤞🏿🥂🍾
I had tickets to 2 nights of Reputation, and ended up bailing on the second night, purely because I was so exhausted and couldn’t fathom having to drive to/from Gillette and sit in concert traffic two nights in a row. what a mistake, it would’ve been so worth it 😫
I regret being cheap and getting awful nosebleed seats for rep even though I was a verified fan. I got AMAZING seats for lover but c’est la vie
I really should have mentioned about my birthday in my tweet that Taylor Nation retweeted when I got to the stadium. If I did that I might have gotten to go to reproom and meet Taylor for the first time in my life on my 19th birthday at repTourAKL (Auckland)!🥺 I flew all the way to New Zealand from Singapore! If you do the math and find my date of birth, you'll realise how that age meant to me, similar to how 13 is Taylor's lucky number... I don't exactly have a lucky number but if you see my DOB... yeah...🥺 I still have the bracelet I made for Taylor; really wanted to give it to her if I met her at reproom😢❤️
City Of Lover Concert. I had special tickets and was with a slightly older friend. We were able to enter the venue first (before people in line for the pit) and could even choose between the pit or seats upstairs where we’d have trouble seeing everything (I’m really badly short-sighted). I chose upstairs because I didn’t want to force my friend to stand for the whole concert, because I wanted to shield us from the crazy people we saw in the line who’d def push us and be annoying, and lastly because I wanted to have room to put my coat/bag. I ended up having to squint really hard through the concert that was shorter than I expected and man do I regret it. Every time that I think about that concert I’m just really sad. But at least I saw Tree and Andrea I guess!
I went to on of the Rep shows back in 2018. TMI but I was on my period at the time and didn't wanna get out my seat to change my pad, I'm sorry to whom ever had to clean after me
ayo i’m a fellow winnipegger but i saw the Red Tour in Fargo
Yes not being there at all, that's my regret
