Ooh can I join.
Fave album 1989
Song - the 1
I saw her live in 2015 in Hyde park. I took my DC. Brilliant.

@TheSandHurtsMyFeelings @SummaLuvin I went in November too. Dh dragged along. He said, oh my god, it's not just you! 😅 the girls toilets was a highlight. All the older (ie me 37 and over!) Swiftest giving life advice to all the younger ones. The wee young things telling everyone how amazing their outfits were. Honestly it was bizarre, I don't know how to explain it but I have never felt so 'safe' on a night out ever and we all said, you could have went alone and made friends instantly. All too well was the absolute highlight!

megletthesecond · 14/02/2024 17:43

Still on the waitlist here. And in denial that I probably won't go 🙈.

SummaLuvin · 14/02/2024 17:45

I have never felt so 'safe' on a night out ever

sort of changes the tone a bit, but I saw an American girl post on TikTok a video of a huge crowd exiting the Eras Tour somewhere in the USA, and of course it was largely women. She captioned it "all my life I thought I was afraid of crowds, but I was actually afraid of men"

AmazingLemonDrizzle · 14/02/2024 17:46

Yes! I am not big into music by nature but my girls are and now I think I know most of the words to most of the songs!

Were going to Wembley and I'm genuinely excited and looking forwards to the atmosphere. Ive never been to a concert before and no idea about outfits, what you take (can you take water bottles?!) How early you get there.

I am SO excited.

TheTorturedPoetsDepartment · 14/02/2024 17:46

@megletthesecond no, manifest the life out of it! As soon as it was announced, I told everyone I was going to closing night in Wembley. Not being there wasn't an option. I call it positive thinking, my husband said complete delusion! I was to be closing night but not anymore since the extra dates on. I'll do some of my delusional thinking for you 😅

EmmaEmerald · 14/02/2024 17:48

At the Eras film, I was asked about my fave album, I said 1989 but it's a tough one!

I think I can say Out of the Woods is my favourite song but the video is key to that.

i'm going to assume you all know the branches spell "Out of the Woods" near the start.

I also found that people were all talking before and it was such a lovely experience.

I can understand why people emerge from the concerts saying they were too euphoric to remember it properly - I had to see the film twice.

Swifty1newmama · 14/02/2024 17:49

Fan since: 2008ish when my sister’s friend bought back the debut from the US!

Fave album: So hard to choose but between 1989 (TV) and Speak Now and Folklore!

Fave song: Cheesy choice but All Too Well (10minute version)

Concerts/tours: Speak Now, Red, Reputation... and Eras this August!

TheSandHurtsMyFeelings · 14/02/2024 17:50

I mean, I've sobbed and sung all the way through the Eras film, twice, sitting on my own on my sofa. God knows what a state I'd be in if I went to an actual stadium show!

TheTorturedPoetsDepartment · 14/02/2024 17:51

@EmmaEmerald all the easter eggs she leaves blow my mind. Can't think of anyone else who does anything like that.

SummaLuvin · 14/02/2024 17:53

@megletthesecond let everyone know that you want to go. It would have to be something truly tragic to stop me attending, but if I couldn't make it between me and the two other girls we have about 20 friends/family/colleagues who have said they want our tickets, and we would pass them on to one of them rather than resell online.

TheTorturedPoetsDepartment · 14/02/2024 17:54

Have you all got 'Swifite' friends in real life? I've my dh who will come to my 'album release parties' ie us alone in the living room and me explaining every song. And my work colleagues are coming to taylor swift bingo loco with me becausethey r so lovely (seriously, look it up if you don't know!) But no one that really loves all her stuff like I do.

SummaLuvin · 14/02/2024 17:55

I've not seen the film! I want to experience for the first time live.

TheSandHurtsMyFeelings · 14/02/2024 17:58

I've got a friend who has the dubious honour of being my 'gateway Swiftie'. Other than that, nope! DH and ds just roll their eyes whenever I play her records. I put Evermore on in the car the other day and DH did admit that No Body No Crime was 'good' but the rest was just 'fairly pleasant but samey'. Philistines.

Fluffycloudsfloatinginthesky · 14/02/2024 18:04

@WrenNatsworthy

We have hospitality at Anfield for the Saturday night. My oldest is also going solo to Wembley and she has standing. My youngest has picked out a way too old for a 12 yo gold shimmery fringed dress and cowboy boots and hat to wear. I've told her she needs sliders as well as we will have to walk an hour back to the hotel!

You will get there and you will have the best time Flowers

Swifty1newmama · 14/02/2024 18:07

Also haven’t watched eras film as want to see in real life first!!
agree with a pp , no one I know in real life gets her like a proper swiftie!

TheTorturedPoetsDepartment · 14/02/2024 18:11

@Fluffycloudsfloatinginthesky apparently wearing fluffy socks with the cowboy boots saves the pain in the feet!

Fluffycloudsfloatinginthesky · 14/02/2024 18:14

Thanks @TheTorturedPoetsDepartment - she is obsessed with fluffy socks so we have piles of the things

SummaLuvin · 14/02/2024 18:17

For Swifties interested in her style this is a really cool instagram, it’s remarkable how quickly she tracks down the item(s) Taylor wears https://www.instagram.com/taylorswiftstyled?igsh=MXN4M2Jjb3Vqb2Vscg==

toastofthetown · 14/02/2024 18:37

Fan since: Fearless
Fave album: Red (but honourable mentions to Rep and evermore)
Fave song: Coney Island (I may now be the proud owner of a Coney Island t shirt)
Concerts/tours: Red, 1989, and Reputation. Rep tour is the most incredible live experience I've had. I'm going to Eras but honestly don't know if it can top the feeling I had at Reputation. I haven't seen the cinema version either.

I have a couple of Swiftie friends, and more who I wouldn't have said were Swifties at all, but have asked to be my first reserve for Eras!

NoodletheSchnoodle · 14/02/2024 18:58

Me! Grin
I'm 38 and a full blown Swiftie fan. I like absolutely no modern music except for Taylor.

Fan since: Debut album
Fave album: Red or Midnights
Fave song: Don't have one favourite but if I had to pick just one.... ATW 10 min
Concerts/tours: Red & Eras Liverpool
Star can't wait!

TheTorturedPoetsDepartment · 14/02/2024 19:00

@NoodletheSchnoodle she is genuinely the only thing I listen to. I was in the top 0.01% on Spotify wrapped and was both proud and slightly mortified in equal measure!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 14/02/2024 19:02

Got tickets in June very excited and for the new album in April

Love that! I only like music from the 60s, 80s and early 90s. TS is the only exception and is pretty much all I listen to.
I'm old school and I like CDs in the car but only have all her albums in my glovebox Grin
I spend my evenings and weekends watching instagram posts and videos of her Blush
