Taylor Swift at cinema

Has anyone seen the Taylor Swift gig at an early showing or during half term?

I've seen it but want to go again. There were a lot of kids singing and dancing in the first showing and I'm wondering if that risk is higher for a half term show.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Exactly. Tbh I’d be more disturbed by you sobbing at’taytay’ song

Show quote history

We got told that singing had to be contained...no screaming or shouting.

As for hugging random teen - she came to me? Was I supposed to turn down her hug or push her away? I think she was looking out for me because when we chatted before, I said Champagne Problems would be a hard listen for me and she said All Too Well would be hard for her.

lots of people were in tears at various points. We were all quite overwhelmed I think, there was a lot of lingering and chatting in the foyer with people still wiping away tears. Some people were looking on their phones for the next showing that night as if you're driving, there's a few other cinemas you can get to quite quickly.

It was lovely chatting to teens asking us about our favourite songs and what life stage we were at when we heard them and they did friendship bracelets too.

meglet you might find it goes in a flash. It's an experience for sure.

I took DD on Saturday; was only a few families/groups in there - maybe 20 people in total? I sang along (quietly) but couldn't hear anyone else, the volume was sooo loud!

We were to a refined cinema. Everyman with sofas and table service. The staff gave a speech first saying singing and dancing is encouraged as that’s the point of the show, which we did. It is the point, it’s supposed to be a gig. Definitely wait for streaming if you don’t want that.

The point is you treat it like a concert. It's lovely to see young girls being young girls and experiencing that without paying £200 plus for tickets.

Thank you

the singing is the bigger problem. I want to hear Taylor. The kids singing did get told off by a random lady from the far side of them, because they were that loud. They tried to chat while Taylor was doing a talky bit and I nearly shouted "excise me, Taytay is SPEAKING" but someone else got there first.

I'll give it a miss and hope for a streaming show at some point.

There are screenshots circulating of it being loaded on Prime (but not yet available to watch). So it can't be far away.

This is the most bizarre thing I have read in a while. Are people really standing in the cinema sobbing because of a pop concert?

PinkPlantCase · 26/10/2023 03:56

I went to an evening showing that didn’t have any children and people were still singing along!

Not loud enough to drown out Taylor though

Wow, 'TayTay's PR company must be so chuffed with themselves, I do not understand this cult like following around her at all but 🤷🏻 you crack on op. If you don't want to hear other people then don't go and see something at a venue with other people, simple.

Dentistlakes · 26/10/2023 04:47

We went to see it and it was great! I don’t really listen to her music, but loved it. The cinema was quite full and there was some singing along but no dancing. It was very long though.

I went to the cinema concert showing of Machine Gun Kelly's big Cleveland concert.
He was celebrating the the end of his pink era and wanted fans to enjoy the show and sing along, dance etc.
I don't think going to a concert showing and wanting people not to sing along is realistic especially when the artists management and themself encourage it

grievinggirlneedsadvice · 26/10/2023 14:11

I suppose there is a difference, but the girls who were singing very loud and yelling all the chants near me didn't detract from my experience they added to it because I was so glad they were having fun. I live in a very remote place which only got a cinema a couple of year ago (nearest other one is two hour difficult drive away) so theres not a lot for the kids to do- I'd much rather see them enjoy themselves singing, even scream singing, along than to hear Taylor perfectly (I can listen to her lovely voice anytime on my phone)- if I got emotional about anything it would have been that!
But we are all different and I hope you either get to see it at a quieter showing or at home.
