Did anyone enjoy Taylor but felt at 3.5 hours it…. dragged a little?

I admit that i’m not her biggest fan and it was a bit of a fluke that i got a ticket to go with friends. I enjoy her music and think she’s amazing but a dedicated Swiftie… I am not! I just felt that it could have been at least thirty mins shorter and would have been more enjoyable. Even amongst the hardened Swifties around us, I sensed a little restlessness. Anyone else agree?

Just back from Dublin, it was amazing like nothing I’ve been to before. Really enjoyed it and my 23 year old daughters face made it all worthwhile

We were there last night. Couldn't see anyone flagging and there was enough energy to make Wembley shake with the surprise songs. Only Taylor Swift can pull off a 3 hour show like that.

Bruce Springsteen is often on stage playing to packed out venues for over 3 hours!

30 minutes of listening to her would be too much she makes my ears bleed most overrated singer ever I'd rather be waterboarded than go to one of her concerts 😂

MrsClownland · 28/06/2024 09:15

An interval wouldn't work at all - imagine if even only a third of those people all got up to go to the loo at the same time, or to queue at a burger stall.

Oh that's a plan. I might have to preplan a wazz.

preplan a loo break, pack a snack and either bring water or buy it on the way in.

@456pickupsticks yeah I'm nervous about that, the moment I know I can't go to the loo I need it!!

I went for a wee in So High School because I don't like it 😆

Personally, I thought the show could actually have done with an interval or some kind of built in break, rather than being shorter. Really enjoyed most of the sets, but after the three hour mark I needed a drink and the loo, and could have done with a snack too, but didn't want to leave close to the end and miss some of my favourite bits.

TheTwirlyPoos · 27/06/2024 15:55

Oh look a other thread has been started by the crazy Taylor swift fans.

Oh no, wait, no it hasn't.

@Lillanbjornen the standing ovation after champagne problems was my best bit!!!! Did you go on Sunday? Or does she always get a standing ovation for it?!

She always does, it's a tradition.

I went to Cardiff last week. My fave outfit was a girl in a full wedding dress and veil with "fucked in the head" on it in gold! Everyone initially thought she'd been down the registry office until she turned around.

Ha, so like I say, niche, but I recreated the dress from the beginning of the video for ME! A black v neck tucked into a white tulle skirt that I had stitched fabric flowers onto. People ranged from dressed totally normally, to insanely sparkly little bodysuit dresses like she wears on stage, to interpretations of specific lyrics, so you can’t really go wrong. We had great fun people watching beforehand, and the atmosphere is really positive and fun and everyone complimenting each other. I saw a girl in an amazing green velvet hooded cape that I wish I had occasion for!

Oh that's a great idea! I need to get thinking

Anyone else just get the message about the final votes and thought - well there's a fun way to see how many trolls are on MN for TS! 😂They aren't doing a great job as bouncers are they?
Enjoy the concert ladies, jealous but not enough to start a thread about it 😅

Lillanbjornen · 27/06/2024 09:26

I’m a fan - knew every song on the set list, knew all the surprise songs my night, put together a quite niche outfit for it. And I thought it was a bit too long. Could have cut a song or two from each of Folklore/Evemore, TTPD and Midnights. But actually the most “boring” bit is the standing ovation after Champagne Problems, so entirely the fans! 😂

The outfit changes took no time at all, most of them are about a minute - it’s all quick change with velcro and poppers and layering and a whole team below the stage to put her into the next one. She goes down on the riser, she walks out from the back in a totally different outfit - it was honestly quite impressive.

TheTwirlyPoos · 27/06/2024 08:25

Im out. I can't be fucked. I need to go choose an Eras outfit.

'Omg u have to wear an outfit?? '

Except nobody said that.
Nice try though.
Have fun choosing your clothes....from what I've seen sparkle cannot be overdone (and that's not a criticism, just in case someone suggests it is).

@TheTwirlyPoos is there an excited thread? Do we need to start one in otbt? 🪩

Nothing stopping you!
(I have no issue with folk enjoying her, it's the 'must not speak anything not positive about her, even if it's true' approach).
I hope you enjoy seeing her live.

TheTwirlyPoos · 27/06/2024 08:38

@randoname id gladly join u if there is!

I appreciate we all have different tastes.

I've nothing against Taylor Swift. I'm sure she's a good singer with a phenomenal marketing team.

But with less razzmatazz and fewer outfits, and more singing, the ticket price may have been kept down (and the show more on point for the OP)

It's more of a show than a gig, which is fine - but all the worship and "once in a lifetime generational experience" stuff is a touch OTT.
