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

The ones who are obsessed and shut down anything that is not TS adoration, even from actual fans. They, and they alone, decide who real fans or who is actually deserving of concert tickets.

Lots of artists with significantly more talent have historically done as long or longer sets.

I don’t get all this Taylor Swift stuff, just another disposable pop star who is only as good as her marketing department

I don’t really see the hype myself.

But then I think of when I was a teenager and how much I wanted to go to see Oasis at Knebworth that I did anything to make it happen.

So I guess it’s just the same for those who really like TS.

Not that was a long day!

Most of MN, especially AIBU, is a bit like hairdresser chat though?
(Nothing against hairdressers, they are mostly wonderful people).

What cult?

@Fromthenotorious dared to be even slightly critical and the cult swoops in....🤣🤣🤣

Nope, I’m not a fan of TS or a cult fan or want to ban anything, so fucj that response. Everyone who wants to go to her concerts does deserve equally to go yes.
I answered op with my opinion on their post. I don’t see the point of the post when everyone knows these tickets were in huge demand. What’s the point? It’s like a conversation you might have at the hairdressers.

If that’s true, then your work colleague is weird. I know lots of big fans of Taylor, they don’t care if others don’t like her, as long as they’re not being nasty. Most people understand people have different tastes.

Then again, look at the weirdos on mumsnet. They can’t even ‘understaaaaand’ that not everyone like the same weather as them. There’s insults that have to be deleted if anyone dares say they like cooler weather.

It’s not the majority.

Swifties do not like any criticism of Taylor Swift, no matter how mild. They’ll somehow manage to twist it.

Having said that, credit where it’s due, it wasn’t Taylor, the billionaire, who helped the fan’s family reunite with their daughter who had sadly passed away due to hear exhaustion at a concert, it was the Swifties. It was only after Swift received criticism, she sent a donation days after. But as soon as she did that, the majority of the web results about criticism from the fan’s family was instead filled with how magnanimous she was inviting the deceased fan’s family to a concert and her “private” donation.

Must be the second coming 💀

Very dedicated to posting about her for someone that claims to hate her so much… Doth protest too much me thinks

I do agree with the posters that in a sea of hypersexed vulgar erotic acts she’s at least not swearing and covers up (of sorts). But there are so many other artists doing the same who don’t get this type of cult following. It’s a whipped up frenzy at the moment.

I got the impression from OP that she enjoyed it but just thought it was a little long and the thread was about discussing the concert length.

It's all the bloody hype , people have been going on about trying to get tickets for the last year . It all seems like a bit of a drawn out process to me , buy an album, get access to tickets, register somewhere and you might be lucky enough to get a code at some point in the next year

It's Taylor Swift, not the second coming of Christ!

Well it's all keeping her name current I guess!
Knock yourselves out guys!

The irony of you thinking that was a valid contribution.
Moving on.

The cult following is the most bizarre of all.
Normal fans - fine.
Normal non fans - fine.

@Alwaysthesun24 The irony of someone claiming not to care about TS posting about her for half an hour straight🤣 Do you really have nothing better to be getting on with?

@Fromthenotorious doesn't hate her though, she simply passed comment on the length of the show.

I am not a big Taylor fan, don’t mind her but not a massive concert goer but was the designated adult for 3 teenagers 2 who loved her one who was just along for the ride and it went much quicker than I thought , it was very well done and managed to stand fir a lot of it. Really liked Wembley as well and the free water etcand had a good time. Thought they managed the leaving well as well and got the last train home

Someone at work was talking about her and asked what my favourite album was and I said I’m not a fan and they proceeded to say things that weren’t nasty, but weren’t acceptable. I have also seen an insane amount of online stuff which is beyond disgusting.

But no, I don’t wander around starting conversations about Taylor Swift just to upset people. I don’t dislike her. Her music isn’t for me, that’s the depth of it. I do take I bridge with her fans. Same as 1D and Bieber fans back in the day. And Selena fans attacking Hayley Bieber and such - none of it is acceptable. Ever. It’s not okay to be unpleasant to another human purely because you have different musical tastes.

And quite frankly, it’s a good thing as if there were even more things then people would have even less chance of getting tickets.

Inspiring girls to do what exactly? Pine after teenage crushes? As that what she seems to be all she is about. Isn’t the rivalry with katy Perry because they are both competing for the same tranche of teenagers?

'Eh?' is an expression. If you project more into it then so be it.
Also, TS is nothing like a West End show. 🤣🤣😬🤣

Because the people who hate her are so obsessed they can't stop creating threads about her?
Like this one?
