[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is crack.  Omg.  So much drama.  I can’t imagine getting that hysterical over a concert (or not being able to go).

Perspective.

[b]Such entitlement.[/b]  I’m silently giggling to what my parents would have said as a girl if I was throwing a tantrum and distraught over them not shelling out hundreds of dollars for a concert or whining endlessly.

People today.  Sigh[/quote]

It's all about the other girls at school.  Look at me dressed up as a Swiftie, look at me and my excess.

In our wealthy neighborhood, it's about the moms too.  So freaky.  They are on the party bus with the daughters.  To a lesser extent with Harry Styles too, but this TS crap is crazy.

Don't flame, but it's stuff like this that makes me so relieved I have all boys.[/quote]

If it’s really just about one-upsmanship, then go online and buy one of the stupid blue crewnecks for $500. Wear to school, be The Coolest. Done.

(I actually saw an adult guy wearing the blue crewneck downtown and people were doing double takes and asking for photos, lol. Having the shirt may be an even bigger coup than having tickets! None of my friends who got tickets have managed to get the blue crewneck, lol…)[/quote]

I have zero idea what the blue crewneck is- does it have her face on it?[/quote]

“ She had also modeled a newly purchased blue crew neck sweatshirt, the most-sought after item among fans. Nearly every person outside the stadium on Wednesday morning was trying to buy one, or two, or as many as they were allowed to have.

There was nothing flashy about it. The sweatshirt had no sequins or embroidery or hidden pockets. It was just your average everyday sweatshirt, with Ms. Swift’s name and “Eras Tour” printed across the front and the tour dates and the titles of her albums on the back. If you closed your eyes and conjured a blue crew neck sweatshirt with some writing on it, your mental image would probably match up with this in-demand item.

One thing that made it special was the fact that, unlike some other tour souvenirs, it was not available in the “merch” section of taylorswift.com. It was also, notably, the rare garment for sale that day without Ms. Swift’s face printed on it. In the weeks since the start of the Eras Tour, fans had elevated this unexceptional article of clothing to cult status.

“Every Swiftie wants the blue crew,” said Debbie Losee, a 60-year-old teacher who said she was waiting in line on behalf of her daughter.

The apparently limited supply made it even more prized. “The resale on the sweatshirts is $300, Jake!” one fan was heard shouting into her phone. She was correct. The sweatshirt is available on eBay for more than four times its $65 list price.

“I’ve been having nightmares about getting this crew neck,” said Emily Rottkamp, a 20-year-old employee at Disney World. “I haven’t been sleeping.”

Alyssa Misay, a personal injury specialist from Land O’ Lakes, Fla., joined the line before 5:30 a.m. She said her teenage niece had given her strict instructions: “‘The sweatshirt, the sweatshirt!’”

The frenzy about the blue crewneck cracks me up because there is no reason or logic behind it whatsoever. But of course I tried to buy one, lol. [/quote]
