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

@Mitsky we also saw Foos and DG was his usual extraordinarily energetic self (not sure TS could do what he did)

I don’t think she’s rubbish, lots of people have said she’s a good gig and that’s great. It’s just not my thing. But I have said that in public and received unbelievable backlash. So I’m not criticising her at all, but her crazy fans?! I’ll criticise them all day long. Their behaviour is ridiculous and often downright abusive. Same as 1D and Bieber fans back in the day, giving out death threats or trying to shut anyone else down for their opinion - in this case that they felt the gig was a little too long - is never okay.

All I can think of when I see media images of Taylor Swift's stage costumes is Adelaid Adams from Calamity Jane.

Says Doris Day: 'Why, she ain't got nuthin' on but her underwear!'

I must be getting old ...

There’s an awful lot of posts by people who “somehow managed to get tickets but I’m not really a fan”. Beginning to think there’s some folk at play that are trying to downplay TS’s fame. And I say that as someone who isn’t a fan and didn’t get tickets.

Which says everything about the laughers and nothing about the girls. I was there last night. Everyone in home made and customised outfits, 3+ hours of pure joy and such high energy. The stewards were dancing, free water flowing and being passed along the crowds. Amazing atmosphere sustained on the walk back to the tube and on the trains with Wembley staff swapping bracelets and saying what a great crowd and looking forward to the August dates.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to do 3/3.5 hours.

1.5-2 hours is plenty long enough for a gig, especially when they go on until 10:30/11pm and then you have to factor in time for travelling home afterwards.

Bruce Springsteen does equally long concerts

Nobody can beat the late Ken Dodd for staying power.

It's called expressing an opinion.

I wanted to see FM on their last tour but no way could I afford the ticket prices!!! Converts are so expensive these days!

Yes, I agree with this.

I don’t think most fans would care if you said ‘I’m not into her music’. But it rarely stops there.

Also, it’s strange that so many people start threads because they ‘just don’t get her’.

Personally, if there was any thread about Beyoncé, Adele, Harry Styles or Bruce Springsteen, whether positive or negative, I wouldn’t comment. I’m not into those people, so why would I feel the need to write anything. So many people go on Taylor threads just to tell us how rubbish she is. 🤪

You'd think Stevie Nicks and Madonna never happened.

Now Nicks, I would pay to see. 76 years old and she still has it!

I guess if you are truly fan, 3 hours will go very quickly and you always wish the concert was longer, you always want more, you said you are not, so I understand how you feel, I have attended concerts with my husband where the band was not my favourite and I was bored after an hour

If you’re so offended @FromBackHome , maybe this isn’t the thread for you and you shouldn’t read it?

Yeah, this response was even healthier. Some people got tickets and some didn't. I know a huge group that managed to go who werent bothered either way, they just like going to gigs. The lass can't tour forever, bet she's knackered.

So people can’t start a thread expressing a moderate view in case it attracts more extreme views? Come on.

Not seen yet but I’ve got tickets for Taylormania which gets good reviews.

🙄

Of course, someone can’t start a thread saying they had a great time but it was a bit long for them as it’s longer than a standard concert without it being goady and ‘bullshit’ - this is exactly what we’re talking about. You can’t have a single criticism without it being a deliberate attack or trolling.

You fans need help.

It's attracted a lot of overinvested fans too though.....

Your DD may need to grow up a bit for the sake of her own DD. A so called parent that can’t even allow her poor child a bit of harmless enjoyment?

The thing is OP, you know she gets a lot of negativity here by people that just love to hate. It seems very odd that you would start a thread that would inevitably attract those sorts of people if you actually like her. So I’m calling bullshit.

Hmmm.... Taylor.
A good performer, perhaps.
The music doesn't do anything for me and
I wouldn't attend such a concert if it was me getting paid.
😁

Nope, not the same thing. People don’t defend her, they go wild. The two current Taylor Swift related threads on trending are perfect examples of that. Two people have posted threads not saying they didn’t like her music but that they thought the gif was a bit long or that the tickets weee difficult and the responses have been utterly out of context from fans. It’s insane. You’re not allowed to say ‘Oh she’s not for me’ which is the extent of my feeling on it without being told you’re wrong or you’re ‘attacking Taylor Swift’ or you’re a misogynist. It’s extreme.

Perhaps because there's so much hype about her, her concerts, concert tickets, her outfits, how she's such a role model etc etc.
