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?

Exactly - you spent hundreds on tickets people were desperate to get and think the best you can do afterwards is to pour scorn. It's like Verucca Salt in Willy Wonka.

Some people are deranged and I am not convinced they are fans. Just as boring as the VAT threads IMO.

Goodness - you get tickets to the gig of the year then slag it off?
Stop gloating on here and think of what you've just witnessed. So many people were desperate to see her and have your experience and you sound thoroughly ungrateful.

eek
someone didn’t manage to get tix!

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.

Nope, Bruce Springsteen in Hyde Park last year was 3 solid hours in stage. No leaving the stage for a costume change or anything. He was in full view singing or talking for 3 whole hours. He's mid 70s now.

Agree. When I was 17 I was listening to Teenage Fanclub and The Wedding Present. TS is an amazing female performer and I don’t ever denigrate that. But her music is obvious. It’s so damn obvious. I don’t get the hype

I got into the Wedding Present in my twenties, stupidly got rid of most of my CDs on a clear out but still have some and of course Spotify. They have some cracking tunes.

😁 stay sharp lovely.

At least you're getting plenty bang for your buck with Taylor Swift. DD went to one of the Edinburgh shows and said it was amazing with loads of energy, costume changes, a real spectacle. Unlike other stars who charge just as much and give you 90 minutes at the most.

She didn't slag it off. 'think of what you've just witnessed?' It was TS not the second coming! 😂

greencartbluecart · 24/06/2024 07:50

Well the Edinburgh gig was enjoyed to the last moment by everyone around us

But I grew up with Springsteen so guess I am used to a longer gig

How nasty
This is a discussion thread. Just because someone didn't sacrifice their first-born in eternal gratitude for being able to attend a song and dance act by a woman with a carbon footprint the size of a small moon, you call them gloaty and ungrategul?
That is some extra level of bitchy shit

RatZilla · 24/06/2024 07:48

You did well. I can't get through a 3 minute song of hers on the radio without switching over.

Alwaysthesun24 · 24/06/2024 07:47

The gig of the year.....🤣🤣🤣🤣

Everygrain · 24/06/2024 07:47

I would rather see a longer concert of the artist I have paid to see rather than them have a support act for an hour before a shorter main artist set.

Iaskedyouthrice · 24/06/2024 07:45

No @KitKatChunki this post you wrote is cringe. The OP can think what she damn well likes. The fact that you wrote this response to her is just embarrassing. For you.

Edited

Love what she stands for but don’t really get her either. Maybe I am a music snob. Somebody explain to me why her music is so good please.

This 🤣🤣🤣. It’s just a load of generic pop.

Greenlittecat · 24/06/2024 07:44

We couldn't afford tickets but I've seen lots of clips from tiktok! Looks like a great night!

Getting home after looked a nightgmare.

I like longer concerts, especially when you pay so much for tickets it makes it worth it imo

Ndd135632 · 24/06/2024 07:44

@Alwaysthesun24 I love to see women thriving and inspiring and holding it together. She is a resilient successful woman who is inspiring a whole generation of girls. That’s what she stands for. Can’t you see that ? I don’t even like her music but I see that.

Rubbish - many many acts can sustain a three hour show. She's a singer and songwriter not a demigod.

I am starting to get concerned with what I assume is grown women, coming across as nutters on the many Taylor Swift threads. Already some of the replies on this are just fucking cringe. It's getting old quickly.

Exactly - you spent hundreds on tickets people were desperate to get and think the best you can do afterwards is to pour scorn. It's like Verucca Salt in Willy Wonka.

Some people are deranged and I am not convinced they are fans. Just as boring as the VAT threads IMO.
