Attending Taylor Swift’s Era Tour has become a memorable experience for fans; unfortunately, it’s not always for the right reasons. After spending hours in long queues and battling it out with other die-hard fans for the best seats in the stadium, some fans are finding themselves feeling under the weather the following day. It’s no wonder, given the physical exertion and excitement surrounding the event.
Even though the concert offers glitz and glam, it can be quite an ordeal. Swifties from all over have taken to social media to share their experiences and it seems they are all encountering a similar issue. Alongside the adrenaline rush, concert-goers have reported cases of ‘amnesia’ the day after seeing their icon perform. It’s as if memories of the concert become a blur.
One fan hilariously admitted, “The post-Era Tour amnesia is no joke, it really is all just a blur LOL.” Another commented, “I can’t believe I have Eras Tour amnesia. I don’t even remember her changing the lyrics!” The phenomenon has become so prevalent that fans are convinced it’s a real thing. A third fan added, “Convinced Eras Tour amnesia is real because half of my friends who went don’t remember it, and neither do I.”
Could this be a clever Swiftie spell cast by Taylor herself, designed to make fans forget the show and purchase more tickets? Well, that’s highly unlikely. An alternate theory suggests that the memory loss is a result of the high levels of adrenaline experienced while watching her perform. As one fan speculated, “I honestly think this is why people talk about Eras Tour memory loss…because of the adrenaline while you’re watching it.”
The anticipation of experiencing this strange condition has even made fans who are yet to attend the show a bit worried. One fan pleaded, “I’m begging the universe not to give me the memory loss phenomenon from the Eras tour. Please!”
Interestingly, it seems fans aren’t the only ones experiencing health issues on this seemingly never-ending tour. Taylor Swift herself has been seen coughing and trying to clear her throat during a show in Singapore. Despite the toll it may take on her, Taylor has made it clear that it would take something major to cancel a tour date. In an interview with Time magazine, she said, “I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed. That’s part of my identity as a human being now. If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure.”
It’s evident that attending Taylor Swift’s Era Tour is a memorable, albeit slightly overwhelming, experience for fans. The combination of adrenaline and excitement may leave some with temporary amnesia, but the memories made and the energy felt at the concert are undoubtedly worth it.
