I don’t like that attending the Eras Tour has become an elitist activity

We make a very good living and I am not complaining but everyone around us seems to always have more. We do try hard to keep gratitude and perspective but it requires constant effort and vigilance to do so.

I feel the same way

West Coast here. This was us, and everyone else seated around us the night we went in LA.

The celebrity photos I saw on Instagram were basically like they were from another event. We were seated very high up with mostly teenage and 20-something girls and younger girls and their families. It was definitely representative of the greater LA area and not “fancy” LA and being around a wide variety of genuinely friendly people was the best part of the concert. I’ve never been to a huge concert without big dudes knocking into me or hollering drunkenly, or people acting sketchy. I loved being in a cheerful, supportive concert environment!

My daughter was there and said the same. She said it was so nice to be with a big crowd and feel safe. They made new friends and traded bracelets. The Harry Styles show had the same vibe. Gatherings that are primarily women are that way. I’m glad she got to feel that.

Yes all the internalized misogyny leads all women to be sugar and spice and everything nice.

This is stupid. I have been to many types of concerts. This is not about misogyny, this is about the presence of men/boys leading women to be more on guard for their personal safety for multiple reasons. That vibe is not there at TS concerts. (Mom of 3 boys here, so don't @ me.)

Oh yes I forgot, it always comes back to 3% of the population!

This says much more about you than it does about anyone else. If it’s just 3% of the population, y’all seem to spend a disproportionate amount of time and energy worrying about them.

I liked Taylor’s early stuff, when her voice sounded so pure. Everything was pretty good through 1989, which was IMO her ‘piece de resistance’. Really incredibly good album. So much so, that I have almost equally enjoyed Ryan Adam’s cover of it.

Beyond 1989, her music sounds very depressing and broody. The lyrics sound contrived. I would maybe spend up to $300 to go to her concert, IF it was at a 2 thousand seat or less venue. Anything else is a hard no from me.

Agree about 1989 but Ryan Adams, yuck

It is not internalized misogyny to say that the absence of men makes women safer and that women in groups can get along and be kind. It was an event with almost all women who had a great time together. Frankly people act like women can’t possibly get along with each other. This board loves nothing more than “mean girls”. Also mother of a boy.

There certainly are males present, going by pics all over the internet. I wouldn’t call them “men,” but there are lots of males.
