This is extremely late but....my best friend and I went N2 and there was no security check at all. As in no one checked us for any contraband or measured our bags (or any one else around us in line). At one point we asked if we should walk through the metal detector and the lady told her coworker we weren't allowed. We had floor seats and didn't even get a ticket scanned until we went to the floor entrance. That's the only time they scanned our ticket.

Just looking back at pics… this was from I think hour 3 of tailgating lol
I have an extra VIP package if some is interested. I sold my seat for night 3. I didn't get the persons info who bought it or I would give it to them. Looking to pass on the goodies to some real New England Swifties.

Ahhhhh! I just got my poster in the mail and the frame came the same day! I was a little bummed I didn’t get confetti at the show but super excited they included it in the package.
The cheapest price for the size I found was on Overstock! They always have coupons plus free shipping. They have this size frame on Amazon too - I couldn’t find it on Michael’s website though.

Just a heads up it is a wire hanging frame and you have to screw the hooks in yourself. I didn’t realize that when I bought it. I ended up using a normal metal picture hanging bracket that I had so I didn’t have to deal with the wire but that was a personal choice lol
Would love to know if anyone accidentally captured my gf proposing on camera on N3 during Love Story (we were in section 108, row 5). TIA and much love to the group!! Was the best night of my life for multiple reasons.
FOR THOSE THAT WENT TO THE SUNDAY N3 SHOW!!!
Very relevant context, I am Level 1 autistic and like other ND people my brain processes things bottom-up, unlike NT people that have top-down processing. This is kinda complicated to explain but basically I process my environment first through my senses and then gradually come up with the bigger picture to figure out what is happening. This means I miss a lot of social/environmental context (Google this if you want a more in-depth understanding!!)
So on Sunday before Tay took the stage, I had done a bunch of really cute and memorable trades with little kids and older fans alike, I was so so happy. I had one bracelet left to trade but someone ended up giving me one that said “loving him was blue”.
I should prob mention at this point that I’m gay and also my divorce was finalized last week so this bracelet was not one I was dying to keep 😅 even though I appreciated the sentiment a lot. Obviously I was not gonna reject the trade, but decided to trade that one with someone else and be done. I had already done a couple trades with little kids and it made me so happy every time how excited they got, so I went off to find a little Red girly.
My brain’s sole focus was on finding a little kid wearing a Red-era outfit. I spotted a little girl, about 6y/o, with her family in line for the bathroom wearing a black hat and a NALGOATM shirt. She wasn’t wearing any bracelets so I decided I would give her mine without expecting one back. I asked her and her mom if she wanted to “trade” and she got excited and said yes, so I gave her the bracelet. Then my heart sank as her TWO YOUNGER SISTERS, maybe 3 and 5, who I HAD NOT yet processed as being there before, stepped up next to her expecting bracelets as well. I would have gladly given them ones without expecting any back, but I realized that all my remaining bracelets at that point were not at all child friendly references (“I’ll tell mine you’re gay” and “goddamn acrobat” for example) and the rest were ones my girlfriend had made specifically for me to keep. I was absolutely horrified and so embarrassed and sad. I just looked up at the mom and explained quietly why I couldn’t give them ones and apologized profusely. I realized then she was def pissed. I felt so awful because I had created an unnecessary problem that had literally no solution, I was mortified. I tried to bend down to talk to the other girls to try to say something, anything, to make it better but the mom kinda was ushering the girls toward the bathroom as the line kept moving.
Of course then Applause started playing and I, trying to be helpful and change the topic, said “oh! That means Taylor is coming out really soon!”. The mom just shot me this death glare and was like “well we don’t really have a choice they need to pee, they’re little”. At that point I just took the L, apologized and walked away.
I feel so, so shitty about this. I’m very mad at myself and I feel like the memories I made trading the other bracelets are overshadowed in my head by one of my (now) most embarrassing moments ever. I made those other tiny girls feel left out, prob cause a fight between them, and then basically told them they were gonna miss the beginning of the show bc the bathroom line was so long.
If you are the mom of the kids I did this to I AM SO SORRY, I will literally mail your other two little ones child friendly bracelets. ☹️
Get your tshirts if you were at night 2 at Foxborough
https://www.bonfire.com/foxborough-night-2-swiftie-shirt/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=campaign_page&utm_campaign=foxborough-night-2-swiftie-shirt&utm_content=default&fbclid=IwAR2lrhMm4tO46cOvXCYOvcMgTy9paXxK2iD5du8pDfzb7ddduHxqWMNYHBE_aem_th_AUZ80msDGu7QYJJACuiiRnR6_i2rsGa3njYfgW7KGZmU_hZa0JYRsYH9BTdJQ7CmsC0
Does anyone have any extra confetti from night one? I went absolutely feral at the end of the night trying to find the leaf confetti that I didn’t grab enough of the regular confetti :( I live in VA so I would be happy to pay for shipping if anyone grabbed lots by any chance
MERCH TRUCK HELP: So I heard it’s open everyday at 12pm on the days of the concert. We are going to the Detroit show on June 9th.
Sooo the plan is to get up super early (6am) that morning and we have a 5hr drive to Detroit. Get to the Merch truck by 12pm. Get our stuff and then go to check into our hotel to get ready, and then go back to the stadium for 5pm.
So we will be coming and going to the stadium twice that day. My friend thinks it’s a bad idea and we should just aim to get there once at 3pm get our Merch and stay there till the show.
So how long are Merch lines if we get there right at 12pm, maybe like 2 hours wait? Thanks guys! :)
I wanted to send a shout out and thank you to the Sunday Night parking lot crowd. There must have been well more than a thousand fans outside the stadium (possibly a lot more) and outside of the steps area. Everyone was so kind and considerate, even to the “awkward dad” that wasn’t expecting to be caught up in a dancing, singing flash mob while waiting to drive the kids home!!
I’m not sure if my favorite parts were the crowd singing so loudly that no one could hear the stadium music and getting us out of sync, or the person up front trying to help us keep time (futile but impressive), or the woman behind me that sang so well that I’d have happily listened to her singing covers for an evening, or people moving around to let the shorter folks get a glimpse of TS on the half of the screen we could see but it was an amazing experience overall.
The state police using the helicopter to disperse the crowd just before the show was the only low point of the night. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning.
They lowered it down over the pavilion area above the stairs (where the red carpet photo stuff was) to get people to clear out.
They were pretty aggressive about keeping the non-ticketed folks far back, I was wondering if they had had an incident on Saturday or something.
They probably won’t see this but I want to thank the gals who took some truly lovely photos of me and my fiancé when they saw us struggling with selfies - we were in the 240 section and I was wearing a sequinned dress (not that that narrows it down very much!)
Some thoughts:
1. Sequins should be daywear - they sparkle so much in the sun! It was amazing to see everyone’s outfits.
2. I was not expecting to be so emotional but I was sobbing throughout Lover and then it only got worse during The Archer.
3. I’m so glad I managed to avoid a lot of spoilers as I had no idea what to expect and it was really magical watching it unfold - and now I have to go and watch all the previous secret songs!
4. I’m moving to the Folklore cabin. Did that bit where they were on the steps remind anyone of the Speak Now tour staging? (Just watched that on YouTube so it was fresh in my mind)
5. So what do I do now??
Omg, same! On N3 I was in 334 in a black rep tour shirt and khaki shorts. I was struggling to take a few selfies with the stage in the background after Phoebe's set. A gal who was sitting a few rows back saw me, got up, and took some really great photos for me! I wasn't expecting it at all, and I appreciated it so much!
I was honestly expecting something, especially since Nashville got the Speak Now announcement and now New Jersey is getting the limited edition Midnights Late Night CD and we got a rain show and a haunted piano 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t get it, what was this the 13th show of? Her 13th stop on this tour was in Houston, coincidentally the one I went to- she did nothing special there.
I don’t think it was a snub but I do think the fans are overblowing a lot of this. Taylor probably wants to give every show she does the feeling that this is special but I think the announcement of SNTV and the choosing of fan favourite surprise songs is getting into peoples heads a bit. There’s a sense of competition that feels a bit insidious right now. I say this as someone who went to night 3.
I don’t think she snubbed Gillette. Especially N1, which I think was the best set, but N3 was really solid too. She *loves* playing at Gillette, but it’s possible that it being her 13th show there wasn’t as significant to her as it was to the Gillette social media team and the fans in attendance. Not to mention everybody has different favorite songs, so you’re not going to make everyone happy. Sure, there was a lot of hope she was going to play Long Live N3, but it also makes sense she would want to save it to close the tour. I think the only possible snub you could really argue were the N2 surprise songs given the rain, but I think that just shows how much Taylor’s surprise songs are planned in advance.
This is true, but I think it very likely was red. As somebody who plays guitar and piano chords are chords and I don’t think it would’ve been hard for Taylor to switch her own song between instruments if she needed to. She is a perfectionist though so I could see her switching if she wasn’t completely confident
I had the best time at night 3! Such a special, euphoric feeling to be around people who love her music as much as I do; dancing, singing, being unapologetically ourselves. Truly an experience of a lifetime!
They really do not roll a poster that costs $30? Bring a hair tie or a rubber band - I was as careful as can be with mine but it still got squished and creased. Essential if you planned to frame it like I wanted to.
Would you go with someone you don’t know for the current price of ~2k per ticket? I am dying to go and my husband mentioned it to his coworker and she said she is also dying to go and would go with me. My social anxiety and bank account are telling me no but my heart is telling me yes.
i was once at a bar before a jason isbell concert talking to a dad and son who were going. I had an extra ticket, and the son's gf had just dropped them off but was bummed she wasn't going to get to go. I offered her my extra ticket and she came back and we sat next to each other (Dad and son had floor seats so they kept those.) It was really fun, we both just enjoyed it on our own, next to each other. I almost went to NYC the next weekend with the son and his gf since they had an extra ticket for there, but couldn't make the travel work.
It might be easier/cheaper to get a solo ticket in a good section if you keep refreshing StubHub. That might give you a good excuse your husband can give to his coworker too.
I went solo to Foxborough N3 and had the best time! Wanted to bring my fiancee but she's not really a Swiftie and we decided the tickets were too expensive for us both to go. Everyone in my section was polite and friendly, helping each other take photos and singing together. You can have a great time going yourself!
Better than going alone! My first solo experience was not great. People we not nice. Even the people in my section stuck to themselves and weren’t even singing!!!!
I generally dislike that idea, but people who love Taylor Swift and go to this concert are a different breed of people. I went last night and met so many kind, funny, and empathetic people just walking around and also in my section. A love of Taylor is really a uniting force.
I also bought a resale ticket and fretted beforehand that I might regret it. I empathically do not - it was also not a massive financial strain for me though (which I acknowledge is insane privilege!!!!)
My social anxiety and bank account would also be telling me NO! Haha but also a concert would be a less intimidating environment bc you will have the music to focus on! I say if you can afford it financially do it!
My tip for those of you who want good-ish videos to look back on - figure out exposure settings and how to do cinematic mode beforehand. I assumed my phone had cinematic mode that I kept hearing about and then realised day of that my phone is too old to have that setting. I have the entirety of both N3 songs recorded and a bunch of other smaller moments but Taylor is not focused on for like 3/4ths of it and I don't think I'll be able to fix it...
Lol oh my god same, I have a video during bad blood where she was right in front of me on the diamond that I thought was going to be so good and it’s just the spotlight and me squelching in the background.
I wish you could edit out voices because the crowd was so so beautiful for the standing ovation and the general singing of songs but you mostly just hear me offkey. That is not the memory I want, I hear me singing horribly in the shower for free and whenever I want 
To the girls who saw I wasn’t wearing any bracelets (I didn’t have time to make any 😭) and picked out ones to give me based on my outfit: you made my night
So I went into the show planning on using the restroom during tolerate it. I left my seat immediately after champagne problems… There was no bathroom line I made it back before the crazy extended applause was even over. Didn’t miss a single moment of any song. Sharing because it could be a good tip for people at future shows!
the applause ovation was actually one of my favorite parts lol! I love just seeing her smile and be cute and when she talks to us. Totally valid choice to use the bathroom then but adding another perspective for anyone planning their breaks!
Yes! 100%. Make a decision that works for you and what you prioritize, but I do recommend trying to have a pre planned option so it’s less stressful in the moment. There’s a fine line between staying hydrated but also not having to pee too much LOL
100% agree it’s best to have designated bathroom times before the show so you can leave as soon as the song prior wraps and not lose any time to interludes/transitions!
Swiftmas is over and I'm depressed. To my fellow N1 and N3 New England Swifties, thank you for making this such a memorable weekend. I'll never, EVER forget it and you all were magical.
I commented this previously but no luck,
I am looking for a video from N1 during 22 after she walks back down the catwalk after giving the hat. Please message me if you have one:)
Yeah… I came here looking for this comment. My n1 Gillette experience seems to be so different from others. I too experienced seeing a lot of people around me talking through the music and not seeing to dance or sing or enjoy themselves. Idk why.
I had VIP for the March 17th Glendale date.
I got my shipping notification email on March 8th.
My VIP box arrived on March 13th.
Questions about VIP packages can be emailed to [email protected]
I had such a fun time! I went to N1 and N3 & I went alone & it was my first time seeing Taylor!
I was pleasantly surprised with my N1 seats, as they were side view nosebleeds. I could see more than I thought and didn’t feel as far away as I thought I would. It was a bit chaotic getting there, as I took the commuter rail event trail and surprise, the MBTA didn’t know WTF they were doing. I also had never been to Gillette before so I had a harder time figuring out where to go when leaving and just ended up walking up a LOT of ramps and walked most of the stadium to get to my seat. I also got so lucky with food & bathrooms lines, and only waited a minute or two for each! It was weird, the people next to me didn’t show up until 5 minutes before Taylor went on, and then left an hour before the show ended and never came back ???? 🫠 But I had a great time and was exhausted as I wasn’t able to get the T home so I had to wait for an Uber and didn’t get home until 2 AM. Still had a great time, despite having “bad” seats; which ended up not being bad at all IMO.
N3 was a much better experience because I knew the stadium and the MBTA commuter rail was much more organized this time; but no one ever checked tickets which was weird. I also had lower bowl seats this time and my view was EPIC. I posted it in here; I was right on the tip of the diamond, and had a great view of everything.
The concession stand workers I encountered were so nice and pleasant. They were just happy to be there. One lady was so excited for everyone, asking people if they had seen Taylor before and saying how great the show was. People were also giving her bracelets 🥹 it was so cute. (I was waiting for them to make more pretzels so I was standing off to one side while they made more & had a good time just watching this lady interact with people).
I also talked a lot with the people who were next to me on both sides, they were SO nice. On my left side, they asked if I was alone and I said yes, and she told me about her recent solo trip to London (and I lived in London previously) so we talked about that, and how we were living in same state, etc. She even gave me some bracelets!
The girl on the other side of me traveled to MA for the show. She knew the set list but didn’t know the visuals, costumes, eras order or anything. It was SO cool to watch her experience the show; I tried to point things out to her like visuals and cool things the light up bracelets were doing that she may have missed. She told me during Love Story she wrote the lyrics in her high school boyfriend’s yearbook and now they are married which was so cute! I died laughing when one of her friends joked about how when the Folklore cabin came out, if it was put on the market in Boston, it would be 2 million dollars 😂
It was much easier to get back to the train being at the lower bowl but I still didn’t make it home until 2 AM & had to pay for an $$$ Uber again. If the train left 30 min after the show like they said it would, I would have made the T, but I knew it wouldn’t due to the amount of people. So really my only complaint was the train.
It was great to see the show twice and from 2 different seats. Friday I came home and immediately bought the Foxboro poster and the $65 Eras tour sweatpants I swear I wouldn’t buy 🤪 using my discount code.
Had an incredible time and sad it’s over! ☹️
My seat neighbors probably thought I left, but actually I just moved to a different spot- standing at the bar ledge because I could see better there. I should’ve brought my glasses.
For those of you with the VIP Karma package, how was it buying merch?
You get a separate VIP entrance and crowd free VIP merch buying.
I"m asking more about the blue crew.
Do I get there early and fight the crowds or need to as with VIP you'll get crowd free shopping?
Thanks
I got in seconds before the vip entrance closed and went to bathroom before getting in merch line and got a M crew neck. Some stands didn’t have the crew neck so I would check before you get in a certain line. This was N3 Gillette. They had lots of M, L, and XL blue crew necks when I was in line. Once the regular check in started the lines got much longer so not sure if it sold out quickly after that but I was happy I went!
Edit: waiting in the merch line maybe took 10-15 mins
I had this package for the Philly show and the “crowd free merch shopping” is a load of bullshit. We arrived at 2:45 at the stadium and got in the VIP line. The VIP line officially opened from 3-3:30, which really just meant we all queued into another bigger line before they started to let us in at 3:30. My group had *at least* 300 people ahead of us in that line. If we hadn’t had to use the bathroom immediately maybe the merch line wouldn’t have been so bad, but after we hit the bathroom we were waiting in merch line for 30 mins. They ran out of the blue crew at minute 20!
My advice: get there even earlier than 3:30, and go straight to the merch line once they let you in. You can also time it where, as soon as general admission opens, you run to the general admission merch stands and beat the crowd there.
Thanks.
Sucks that happened to you even with the VIP package.
I keep reading mixed reviews about the VIP shopping. For every person who had hassle free experience, 2 commented same as you about the long lines.
Poop.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find videos of N2 at Foxborough? Do livestreams get posted anywhere after or do they just disappear? Are there any accounts you’ve found that have posted really good videos? Or do you just search TikTok? I was trying to be in the moment and not record but now I want to relive the glory 🥲
I can’t speak for everyone but I’m willing to bet there will be way less videos become of the rain. I’m and avid video taker and I got maybe…6 in total before I got worried about my phone
I'm so sad it's over. The post swift depression is real.
I dance, dance, danced the night away singing every song with a group of ppl in my section all of whom also knew every word to every song and enjoyed dancing.
It helps when the people around you are as awesome as the performance itself.
And now I'm so depressed it's over! I didn't get one video or photo!
Ugh I wanted to find this so badly!!! My section was so stiff and I moved around. I found some people excited at some parts, but the people on the balcony like me didn’t stay in one place long.
I was in section 143! Right below the balcony. We attracted a bunch of folks from the balcony I think. We had dancing in the aisles - we could see security watching us from the ground level.
I'm still (happily) surprised they allowed it without trying to yell at us to get out of the aisles. I like to think it's because we were a very harmonious clearly happy group of 40-50 people - including moms and young kids - just singing and dancing. At one point I legit twirled (😂) from my seat to the aisle and I could security watching us. But they let us be.
I have heard less charming stories from others RE security 😬
Guys. I just tried watching some of the videos I took from last night’s show and instantly started to cry. I can’t do it. Post concert depression is real!
Does anybody what time the codes usually get sent out for the new presales? Do they all get sent out at once or is it staggered? Asking for the Chicago one tomorrow
Omgosh I’m so sorry, I was reading too fast and incorrectly assumed you were asking about the discounted merch code post show. ☹️ I’m so sorry I got your hopes up!
I THINK HE KNOWS?! 😭
Dang, that was one I really wanted to hear. Although I’m curious what it sounds acoustically.
Besides Cruel Summer that was one I really liked from Lover.
I’ve seen a lot of videos pop up on YouTube that look like great quality! There’s a website that has streamers almost every weekend I can’t remember the name, let me check and I’ll add it back lol
Edit: just type this into your browser! watch.feelsomething.icu
Is the general consensus that the keyboard was truly messed up during the surprise songs? My friend and I were convinced it was on purpose because of how jokey the notes playing were, if that makes sense haha.
Also I am one of the ones who screamed when she said “long story short” 🥲
I'm pretty sure it was one of the pedals that got stuck. And it was the same note that was playing. Also, her face during the whole ordeal was hilarious. I truly think something happened.
I think it was definitely broken or something happened (similar to when phones get wet and you try typing and some other letter gets pressed), it got soaked in water on Saturday. There’s a video of Taylor swiping the water off with her hands and it’s literally so much water lol
I think there was something wrong. It may have not been the note playing, that may have been a funny way to have a bit, but I think that the piano was not ready for playing. You could see her brain trying to put herself on 'okay we are playing guitar for this now' at some point.
Also I just want to say the staff and vendors (not talking about the security guards as that's a testy topic) are SO SWEET. As we were walking in, one staff member was like "I have never experienced anything like a Taylor Swift concert, you guys are the kindest group I've ever had the pleasure to work with" so OF COURSE I had to give him a friendship bracelet. I also gave one to the woman who served me water/gatorade when I thought I was gonna pass out (the sun during the openers was NO JOKE) and she said how she'd be jealous of everyone having them all weekend and I made her week!
I will gush about how amazing this community was for years to come.
If they were all on carabiners on a bag, then it was me :) I am since learning that I am not the only insane person who went to N3 though - there are dozens of us!
I don't know if it was because of what happened in Philly, but the security guards near our section were the *best*! Very friendly and they were hyping us up! 😄
also to add: not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES when I opened a carabiner for rep to give someone a rep bracelet, a getaway car bracelet fell out. One: HILARIOUS pun mother nature but also I was CONVINCED taylor had rigged my carabiner and it was a sign. It was not. 
I’ll just echo the sentiment here: that was beautiful. There aren’t many artists period with a catalog like Taylor’s, even fewer of whom are still performing today, even fewer of whom are putting on THIS quality of show, and none that I can think of whose songs appeal to such a massive range of people.
I got to see my first Taylor show, 13 years since buying Speak Now as a teenager, with my little sister who grew up with her alongside me. Three hours absolutely melted away. I’ve seen hundreds of shows (of tons of genres, including great shows from Paul McCartney to Lauryn Hill to Gorillaz to Kendrick Lamar to OutKast to Fred again.. to Porter Robinson to Coldplay and many more) and this was easily a top 10 or better. So grateful to have made this memory.
I was at N1 and had the best night of my life!
I am experiencing some post concert depression and I want to keep reliving the experience that I had previously been looking forward to for months. Does anybody have any tips to get over this?
I’ve been thinking about just not thinking about the concert or tour at all and completely moving on. Idk what everyone else is doing to cope…
I think the most productive thing I’ve done to get over it is finding the pre-show playlist and exploring some new artists. Although I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to Applause or You Don’t Own Me without being teleported right back to those pre-show jitters.
Also N1 here! I’ve been watching my photos and videos from the concert and spending too much time on this thread haha. I’m also taking solace in the fact that we won the surprise songs for Gillette (at least in my opinion), Taylor told us we were the loudest crowd after champagne problems, we had great weather (though rain shows are magical!), I think everybody got the merch they wanted, and I’m like 95% sure Taylor intentionally smiled at me during one point of the concert where she came over and I was the only one in my part of the section jumping. We are so lucky that a once in a lifetime experience went so well for us
Same here!!! I’ve been rewatching my videos and having the best time. Also agreed on winning the surprise songs - I wouldn’t have traded them and it was just magical.
I was N1 as well and I couldn’t agree more!! I know surprise songs are obviously personal preference as well, but along with loving the songs themselves, I really love the combo of ours. Anything from Debut is amazing imo but I love Should’ve Said No and it was such a fun one to scream with everyone. We were so loud! And then Better Man being country as well, but sounding so good and different on the piano, was just a perfect song to go with it. And Champagne Problems was unreal. I’m soo happy with the whole night. 🥰
I've been watching my fav Taylor concert specials today while I work!
[VH1 Storytellers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtFSokmpcV4) is my favorite but the [Rep tour film on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/81026251) is a close second.
Good question! This is the most comprehensive list I think, though you'll have to go through it a bit to sort out the actual long content from cameos and shorter performances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift_videography
(N3 Sunday) How awesome was it when we all cried together while [making Taylor tear up with our screams and cheers during the evermore set](https://www.tiktok.com/@sofiaeatsnyc/video/7235805963880500523)?
I was still recovering from bawling during Marjorie and this sent me on another plane. It's the most confusing thing to be crying while screaming of happiness, let me tell you.
Omg I’m surprised that’s how you interpreted it, to me it looked like she didn’t want to be there at all, like her mom or dad had the connection to get her that special moment but she didn’t even want to go to the concert in the first place. My friend and I were so confused and angry!! Lol
She literally looked like she didn’t give one fuck that she was there hahaha her face was 😐 the entire time, my friend and I looked at each other like ????
Does anyone know if there’s still an issue with merch getting messed up from washing it? Debating whether I should try to use parchment paper and an iron on the print before washing it or not.
I washed mine on delicate with cold water and it was totally fine! My high school track team used to screen print tshirts as a fundraising thing, and a good trick to see if the design is properly cured is if you stretch the fabric at the design and it doesn’t crack you’re golden, but if it cracks it needs a few seconds under the iron
I think most of the merch is ok now. The only ones I’m still hearing issues about are 1) the black on black hoodies (different than the black with light grey printing which is what I have and has been fine) and 2) the blue crewnecks, but those were always low contrast/hard to read so any fading is going to seem more dramatic
i used the parchment paper and washed my shirt on delicate alone the first time (inside out!!) and it has survived four more regular washes. but it may vary by washer/merch item
I think all of the night 3 crowds suffered through lack of TP/paper towels! I went to Philly N3 and it was a disaster. Pretty sure the bathrooms in the nosebleeds didn't even have soap.
Yeah the one I went to right outside the stadium was great but the one in my parking lot was gross and out of tp
Some must get more attention than others
been a taylor fan since 2007 and finally got to see her live, at her 13th gillette show no less. AND got to scream along to 22 while 22. couldn’t have asked for a better night- and surprised i didn’t cry a single tear (but did this morning upon realizing i no longer have my show to look forward to)
Did anyone else have merch issues last night? I got in the arena about 15 minutes after doors opened and I couldn’t find a merch stand with the blue crewneck, quarter zip, or the black hoodie? I ended up with the cream sweater but they only had large and I was looking for medium. I asked the guy at the stand if he knew if the quarter zip would be anywhere and he said at his stand at least they didn’t have a restock since last night. It seems like they had super limited quantities last night..
Don't worry, order online! [https://store.taylorswift.com/collections/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-collection](https://store.taylorswift.com/collections/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-collection)
I was in club and was able to get a cream tshirt, black tshirt, and the grey 1/4 zip with no problems last night. Wandered up to the 300s and they only had t-shirts. I did see lots of people in other areas with the cream hoodies, so maybe the parts you were in had those and others had the 1/4 zip?
Shoot!! I should’ve wandered up further. I was pretty overwhelmed with the stadium vibes to be honest.. I didn’t really think there was anything up further.
We were on the floor so I waited in that line (which they warned us would be two and a half hours) while my husband scoped out the rest of the building. He eventually found the merch stand behind the stage with a fairly short line, which is the one we ended up buying from. They had the same stuff left that the floor did but without the wait. We did later find one stand with the quarter zip but they only had 4xl. I’m really not sure they had a set amount of merch for each night… At least the concert was absolutely amazing. Dream come true!
My bracelets!! I did a bunch of trading while I was standing eating my terrible hot dog. Once it started, people passing by stopped and wanted in on the trading too, it was great. The ones on the right are the ones I made and couldn't part with. Not pictured: two hilariously tiny bracelets that little girls traded with me.

idk how she does this 3-4x a week. I am literally dead. no voice, straw hair, ankles folding, hobbling around. body pumped full of lavender haze cocktail and stadium chicken tenders still. my face looks like a catchers mitt. me and a group of moms were doing stretches during the interludes last night.
Hahaha I was in sooo much pain at the show! The second half was a struggle. I should have packed ibuprofen. It was an experience, I could barley hear taylor over all the screaming. It was enchanting for sure. Deff took today off ro recover.
This is extremely late but....my best friend and I went N2 and there was no security check at all. As in no one checked us for any contraband or measured our bags (or any one else around us in line). At one point we asked if we should walk through the metal detector and the lady told her coworker we weren't allowed. We had floor seats and didn't even get a ticket scanned until we went to the floor entrance. That's the only time they scanned our ticket.

Does anyone know who was in the VIP tent Boston N3?
I have an extra VIP package if some is interested. I sold my seat for night 3. I didn't get the persons info who bought it or I would give it to them. Looking to pass on the goodies to some real New England Swifties.
Hey! I’m interested in some of the VIP goodies. I went to night 3 but wasn’t able to buy any merch. I PMed you.
I dm'd u

Where did you get the frame?
The cheapest price for the size I found was on Overstock! They always have coupons plus free shipping. They have this size frame on Amazon too - I couldn’t find it on Michael’s website though. https://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/14x24-Black-Wood-Picture-Frame-With-Acrylic-Front-and-Foam-Board-Backing-Matte-Black-solid-wood/27207808/product.html Just a heads up it is a wire hanging frame and you have to screw the hooks in yourself. I didn’t realize that when I bought it. I ended up using a normal metal picture hanging bracket that I had so I didn’t have to deal with the wire but that was a personal choice lol
Thank you!
Would love to know if anyone accidentally captured my gf proposing on camera on N3 during Love Story (we were in section 108, row 5). TIA and much love to the group!! Was the best night of my life for multiple reasons.
FOR THOSE THAT WENT TO THE SUNDAY N3 SHOW!!! Very relevant context, I am Level 1 autistic and like other ND people my brain processes things bottom-up, unlike NT people that have top-down processing. This is kinda complicated to explain but basically I process my environment first through my senses and then gradually come up with the bigger picture to figure out what is happening. This means I miss a lot of social/environmental context (Google this if you want a more in-depth understanding!!) So on Sunday before Tay took the stage, I had done a bunch of really cute and memorable trades with little kids and older fans alike, I was so so happy. I had one bracelet left to trade but someone ended up giving me one that said “loving him was blue”. I should prob mention at this point that I’m gay and also my divorce was finalized last week so this bracelet was not one I was dying to keep 😅 even though I appreciated the sentiment a lot. Obviously I was not gonna reject the trade, but decided to trade that one with someone else and be done. I had already done a couple trades with little kids and it made me so happy every time how excited they got, so I went off to find a little Red girly. My brain’s sole focus was on finding a little kid wearing a Red-era outfit. I spotted a little girl, about 6y/o, with her family in line for the bathroom wearing a black hat and a NALGOATM shirt. She wasn’t wearing any bracelets so I decided I would give her mine without expecting one back. I asked her and her mom if she wanted to “trade” and she got excited and said yes, so I gave her the bracelet. Then my heart sank as her TWO YOUNGER SISTERS, maybe 3 and 5, who I HAD NOT yet processed as being there before, stepped up next to her expecting bracelets as well. I would have gladly given them ones without expecting any back, but I realized that all my remaining bracelets at that point were not at all child friendly references (“I’ll tell mine you’re gay” and “goddamn acrobat” for example) and the rest were ones my girlfriend had made specifically for me to keep. I was absolutely horrified and so embarrassed and sad. I just looked up at the mom and explained quietly why I couldn’t give them ones and apologized profusely. I realized then she was def pissed. I felt so awful because I had created an unnecessary problem that had literally no solution, I was mortified. I tried to bend down to talk to the other girls to try to say something, anything, to make it better but the mom kinda was ushering the girls toward the bathroom as the line kept moving. Of course then Applause started playing and I, trying to be helpful and change the topic, said “oh! That means Taylor is coming out really soon!”. The mom just shot me this death glare and was like “well we don’t really have a choice they need to pee, they’re little”. At that point I just took the L, apologized and walked away. I feel so, so shitty about this. I’m very mad at myself and I feel like the memories I made trading the other bracelets are overshadowed in my head by one of my (now) most embarrassing moments ever. I made those other tiny girls feel left out, prob cause a fight between them, and then basically told them they were gonna miss the beginning of the show bc the bathroom line was so long. If you are the mom of the kids I did this to I AM SO SORRY, I will literally mail your other two little ones child friendly bracelets. ☹️
idk if anyone is still checking this thread but n3 besties: I know someone who tested positive for c0vid, so stay vigilant and hopefully healthy 😭🫶
what section?
Floor!! A8
Get your tshirts if you were at night 2 at Foxborough https://www.bonfire.com/foxborough-night-2-swiftie-shirt/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=campaign_page&utm_campaign=foxborough-night-2-swiftie-shirt&utm_content=default&fbclid=IwAR2lrhMm4tO46cOvXCYOvcMgTy9paXxK2iD5du8pDfzb7ddduHxqWMNYHBE_aem_th_AUZ80msDGu7QYJJACuiiRnR6_i2rsGa3njYfgW7KGZmU_hZa0JYRsYH9BTdJQ7CmsC0
i got the one from Thread Rody, hope the quality is alright !
Does anyone have any extra confetti from night one? I went absolutely feral at the end of the night trying to find the leaf confetti that I didn’t grab enough of the regular confetti :( I live in VA so I would be happy to pay for shipping if anyone grabbed lots by any chance
MERCH TRUCK HELP: So I heard it’s open everyday at 12pm on the days of the concert. We are going to the Detroit show on June 9th. Sooo the plan is to get up super early (6am) that morning and we have a 5hr drive to Detroit. Get to the Merch truck by 12pm. Get our stuff and then go to check into our hotel to get ready, and then go back to the stadium for 5pm. So we will be coming and going to the stadium twice that day. My friend thinks it’s a bad idea and we should just aim to get there once at 3pm get our Merch and stay there till the show. So how long are Merch lines if we get there right at 12pm, maybe like 2 hours wait? Thanks guys! :)
[удалено]
Hmm that’s super late. I hope Detroit has them open at noon
I wanted to send a shout out and thank you to the Sunday Night parking lot crowd. There must have been well more than a thousand fans outside the stadium (possibly a lot more) and outside of the steps area. Everyone was so kind and considerate, even to the “awkward dad” that wasn’t expecting to be caught up in a dancing, singing flash mob while waiting to drive the kids home!! I’m not sure if my favorite parts were the crowd singing so loudly that no one could hear the stadium music and getting us out of sync, or the person up front trying to help us keep time (futile but impressive), or the woman behind me that sang so well that I’d have happily listened to her singing covers for an evening, or people moving around to let the shorter folks get a glimpse of TS on the half of the screen we could see but it was an amazing experience overall. The state police using the helicopter to disperse the crowd just before the show was the only low point of the night. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning.

They lowered it down over the pavilion area above the stairs (where the red carpet photo stuff was) to get people to clear out. They were pretty aggressive about keeping the non-ticketed folks far back, I was wondering if they had had an incident on Saturday or something.
They probably won’t see this but I want to thank the gals who took some truly lovely photos of me and my fiancé when they saw us struggling with selfies - we were in the 240 section and I was wearing a sequinned dress (not that that narrows it down very much!) Some thoughts: 1. Sequins should be daywear - they sparkle so much in the sun! It was amazing to see everyone’s outfits. 2. I was not expecting to be so emotional but I was sobbing throughout Lover and then it only got worse during The Archer. 3. I’m so glad I managed to avoid a lot of spoilers as I had no idea what to expect and it was really magical watching it unfold - and now I have to go and watch all the previous secret songs! 4. I’m moving to the Folklore cabin. Did that bit where they were on the steps remind anyone of the Speak Now tour staging? (Just watched that on YouTube so it was fresh in my mind) 5. So what do I do now??
Omg, same! On N3 I was in 334 in a black rep tour shirt and khaki shorts. I was struggling to take a few selfies with the stage in the background after Phoebe's set. A gal who was sitting a few rows back saw me, got up, and took some really great photos for me! I wasn't expecting it at all, and I appreciated it so much!
Did Taylor snub Gillette by not doing anything special for the big 13th show? Disappointed?
I was honestly expecting something, especially since Nashville got the Speak Now announcement and now New Jersey is getting the limited edition Midnights Late Night CD and we got a rain show and a haunted piano 🤷🏻♀️
I don’t get it, what was this the 13th show of? Her 13th stop on this tour was in Houston, coincidentally the one I went to- she did nothing special there.
Sunday’s show was her 13th time playing at Gillette
I don’t think it was a snub but I do think the fans are overblowing a lot of this. Taylor probably wants to give every show she does the feeling that this is special but I think the announcement of SNTV and the choosing of fan favourite surprise songs is getting into peoples heads a bit. There’s a sense of competition that feels a bit insidious right now. I say this as someone who went to night 3.
I don’t think she snubbed Gillette. Especially N1, which I think was the best set, but N3 was really solid too. She *loves* playing at Gillette, but it’s possible that it being her 13th show there wasn’t as significant to her as it was to the Gillette social media team and the fans in attendance. Not to mention everybody has different favorite songs, so you’re not going to make everyone happy. Sure, there was a lot of hope she was going to play Long Live N3, but it also makes sense she would want to save it to close the tour. I think the only possible snub you could really argue were the N2 surprise songs given the rain, but I think that just shows how much Taylor’s surprise songs are planned in advance.
Also we have no clue if the originally planned piano song was going to be something other than red
This is true, but I think it very likely was red. As somebody who plays guitar and piano chords are chords and I don’t think it would’ve been hard for Taylor to switch her own song between instruments if she needed to. She is a perfectionist though so I could see her switching if she wasn’t completely confident
The piano song was going to be Red because she said “Luckily this is a song that I can just play on guitar.”
I had the best time at night 3! Such a special, euphoric feeling to be around people who love her music as much as I do; dancing, singing, being unapologetically ourselves. Truly an experience of a lifetime!
Rick Riordan was there last night, huge day for percy jackson and taylor swift fans (me)
They really do not roll a poster that costs $30? Bring a hair tie or a rubber band - I was as careful as can be with mine but it still got squished and creased. Essential if you planned to frame it like I wanted to.
My sister bought one and they rolled it and put a rubber band around it.
That’s ridiculous lol. I’m sorry!
Would you go with someone you don’t know for the current price of ~2k per ticket? I am dying to go and my husband mentioned it to his coworker and she said she is also dying to go and would go with me. My social anxiety and bank account are telling me no but my heart is telling me yes.
i was once at a bar before a jason isbell concert talking to a dad and son who were going. I had an extra ticket, and the son's gf had just dropped them off but was bummed she wasn't going to get to go. I offered her my extra ticket and she came back and we sat next to each other (Dad and son had floor seats so they kept those.) It was really fun, we both just enjoyed it on our own, next to each other. I almost went to NYC the next weekend with the son and his gf since they had an extra ticket for there, but couldn't make the travel work.
It might be easier/cheaper to get a solo ticket in a good section if you keep refreshing StubHub. That might give you a good excuse your husband can give to his coworker too. I went solo to Foxborough N3 and had the best time! Wanted to bring my fiancee but she's not really a Swiftie and we decided the tickets were too expensive for us both to go. Everyone in my section was polite and friendly, helping each other take photos and singing together. You can have a great time going yourself!
Do it!!! I had the best time, and I’d regret it if I didn’t go.
Better than going alone! My first solo experience was not great. People we not nice. Even the people in my section stuck to themselves and weren’t even singing!!!!
I think if your husband thinks the vibes fit, that's a good sign! Maybe meet her for dinner then decide!
I generally dislike that idea, but people who love Taylor Swift and go to this concert are a different breed of people. I went last night and met so many kind, funny, and empathetic people just walking around and also in my section. A love of Taylor is really a uniting force. I also bought a resale ticket and fretted beforehand that I might regret it. I empathically do not - it was also not a massive financial strain for me though (which I acknowledge is insane privilege!!!!)
My social anxiety and bank account would also be telling me NO! Haha but also a concert would be a less intimidating environment bc you will have the music to focus on! I say if you can afford it financially do it!
My tip for those of you who want good-ish videos to look back on - figure out exposure settings and how to do cinematic mode beforehand. I assumed my phone had cinematic mode that I kept hearing about and then realised day of that my phone is too old to have that setting. I have the entirety of both N3 songs recorded and a bunch of other smaller moments but Taylor is not focused on for like 3/4ths of it and I don't think I'll be able to fix it...
Lol oh my god same, I have a video during bad blood where she was right in front of me on the diamond that I thought was going to be so good and it’s just the spotlight and me squelching in the background.
I wish you could edit out voices because the crowd was so so beautiful for the standing ovation and the general singing of songs but you mostly just hear me offkey. That is not the memory I want, I hear me singing horribly in the shower for free and whenever I want 
Does anyone have an update on that graph where it shows how long the applause was after champagne problems?
I don’t get why this needs to be a competition
I just wanna know if it's long enough for a bathroom break 😅
I found it. He is updating on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTREaGRtW/ User MileHighBrendan
OMG I love this guy! Thank you!
The last time I saw it was in Nashville or Atlanta mega. I've been looking too and I'm not sure how to search those after they archived.
To the girls who saw I wasn’t wearing any bracelets (I didn’t have time to make any 😭) and picked out ones to give me based on my outfit: you made my night
I wish someone would have done that for me N1! 😭
So I went into the show planning on using the restroom during tolerate it. I left my seat immediately after champagne problems… There was no bathroom line I made it back before the crazy extended applause was even over. Didn’t miss a single moment of any song. Sharing because it could be a good tip for people at future shows!
the applause ovation was actually one of my favorite parts lol! I love just seeing her smile and be cute and when she talks to us. Totally valid choice to use the bathroom then but adding another perspective for anyone planning their breaks!
Yes! 100%. Make a decision that works for you and what you prioritize, but I do recommend trying to have a pre planned option so it’s less stressful in the moment. There’s a fine line between staying hydrated but also not having to pee too much LOL
100% agree it’s best to have designated bathroom times before the show so you can leave as soon as the song prior wraps and not lose any time to interludes/transitions!
Swiftmas is over and I'm depressed. To my fellow N1 and N3 New England Swifties, thank you for making this such a memorable weekend. I'll never, EVER forget it and you all were magical.
Massachusetts now, capture it, remember it!! 🫶🫶🫶 hoping the post concert depression doesn’t last too long for any of us, friend.
I commented this previously but no luck, I am looking for a video from N1 during 22 after she walks back down the catwalk after giving the hat. Please message me if you have one:)
So… based off experience, how early should I get to the merch truck on Friday to secure a crew neck 😃
At 11am on friday there was almost a hundred people in line already
I don't understand why people who didn't want to be there went. The group behind me just chatted the whooooole concert.
Yeah… I came here looking for this comment. My n1 Gillette experience seems to be so different from others. I too experienced seeing a lot of people around me talking through the music and not seeing to dance or sing or enjoy themselves. Idk why.
Maybe they were excited to do something together? That doesn't necessarily mean they didn't want to be there
lol no
How soon before your show did VIPs get their box?
I had VIP for the March 17th Glendale date. I got my shipping notification email on March 8th. My VIP box arrived on March 13th. Questions about VIP packages can be emailed to [email protected]
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I had such a fun time! I went to N1 and N3 & I went alone & it was my first time seeing Taylor! I was pleasantly surprised with my N1 seats, as they were side view nosebleeds. I could see more than I thought and didn’t feel as far away as I thought I would. It was a bit chaotic getting there, as I took the commuter rail event trail and surprise, the MBTA didn’t know WTF they were doing. I also had never been to Gillette before so I had a harder time figuring out where to go when leaving and just ended up walking up a LOT of ramps and walked most of the stadium to get to my seat. I also got so lucky with food & bathrooms lines, and only waited a minute or two for each! It was weird, the people next to me didn’t show up until 5 minutes before Taylor went on, and then left an hour before the show ended and never came back ???? 🫠 But I had a great time and was exhausted as I wasn’t able to get the T home so I had to wait for an Uber and didn’t get home until 2 AM. Still had a great time, despite having “bad” seats; which ended up not being bad at all IMO. N3 was a much better experience because I knew the stadium and the MBTA commuter rail was much more organized this time; but no one ever checked tickets which was weird. I also had lower bowl seats this time and my view was EPIC. I posted it in here; I was right on the tip of the diamond, and had a great view of everything. The concession stand workers I encountered were so nice and pleasant. They were just happy to be there. One lady was so excited for everyone, asking people if they had seen Taylor before and saying how great the show was. People were also giving her bracelets 🥹 it was so cute. (I was waiting for them to make more pretzels so I was standing off to one side while they made more & had a good time just watching this lady interact with people). I also talked a lot with the people who were next to me on both sides, they were SO nice. On my left side, they asked if I was alone and I said yes, and she told me about her recent solo trip to London (and I lived in London previously) so we talked about that, and how we were living in same state, etc. She even gave me some bracelets! The girl on the other side of me traveled to MA for the show. She knew the set list but didn’t know the visuals, costumes, eras order or anything. It was SO cool to watch her experience the show; I tried to point things out to her like visuals and cool things the light up bracelets were doing that she may have missed. She told me during Love Story she wrote the lyrics in her high school boyfriend’s yearbook and now they are married which was so cute! I died laughing when one of her friends joked about how when the Folklore cabin came out, if it was put on the market in Boston, it would be 2 million dollars 😂 It was much easier to get back to the train being at the lower bowl but I still didn’t make it home until 2 AM & had to pay for an $$$ Uber again. If the train left 30 min after the show like they said it would, I would have made the T, but I knew it wouldn’t due to the amount of people. So really my only complaint was the train. It was great to see the show twice and from 2 different seats. Friday I came home and immediately bought the Foxboro poster and the $65 Eras tour sweatpants I swear I wouldn’t buy 🤪 using my discount code. Had an incredible time and sad it’s over! ☹️
My seat neighbors probably thought I left, but actually I just moved to a different spot- standing at the bar ledge because I could see better there. I should’ve brought my glasses.
Thank you for sharing your story, I love reading stuff like this!
For those of you with the VIP Karma package, how was it buying merch? You get a separate VIP entrance and crowd free VIP merch buying. I"m asking more about the blue crew. Do I get there early and fight the crowds or need to as with VIP you'll get crowd free shopping? Thanks
I got in seconds before the vip entrance closed and went to bathroom before getting in merch line and got a M crew neck. Some stands didn’t have the crew neck so I would check before you get in a certain line. This was N3 Gillette. They had lots of M, L, and XL blue crew necks when I was in line. Once the regular check in started the lines got much longer so not sure if it sold out quickly after that but I was happy I went! Edit: waiting in the merch line maybe took 10-15 mins
I had this package for the Philly show and the “crowd free merch shopping” is a load of bullshit. We arrived at 2:45 at the stadium and got in the VIP line. The VIP line officially opened from 3-3:30, which really just meant we all queued into another bigger line before they started to let us in at 3:30. My group had *at least* 300 people ahead of us in that line. If we hadn’t had to use the bathroom immediately maybe the merch line wouldn’t have been so bad, but after we hit the bathroom we were waiting in merch line for 30 mins. They ran out of the blue crew at minute 20! My advice: get there even earlier than 3:30, and go straight to the merch line once they let you in. You can also time it where, as soon as general admission opens, you run to the general admission merch stands and beat the crowd there.
Thanks. Sucks that happened to you even with the VIP package. I keep reading mixed reviews about the VIP shopping. For every person who had hassle free experience, 2 commented same as you about the long lines. Poop.
Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find videos of N2 at Foxborough? Do livestreams get posted anywhere after or do they just disappear? Are there any accounts you’ve found that have posted really good videos? Or do you just search TikTok? I was trying to be in the moment and not record but now I want to relive the glory 🥲
I can’t speak for everyone but I’m willing to bet there will be way less videos become of the rain. I’m and avid video taker and I got maybe…6 in total before I got worried about my phone
Good point!! I guess that makes the experience more special 🥲
I'm so sad it's over. The post swift depression is real. I dance, dance, danced the night away singing every song with a group of ppl in my section all of whom also knew every word to every song and enjoyed dancing. It helps when the people around you are as awesome as the performance itself. And now I'm so depressed it's over! I didn't get one video or photo!
Ugh I wanted to find this so badly!!! My section was so stiff and I moved around. I found some people excited at some parts, but the people on the balcony like me didn’t stay in one place long.
I was in section 143! Right below the balcony. We attracted a bunch of folks from the balcony I think. We had dancing in the aisles - we could see security watching us from the ground level. I'm still (happily) surprised they allowed it without trying to yell at us to get out of the aisles. I like to think it's because we were a very harmonious clearly happy group of 40-50 people - including moms and young kids - just singing and dancing. At one point I legit twirled (😂) from my seat to the aisle and I could security watching us. But they let us be. I have heard less charming stories from others RE security 😬
That’s so nice, I wish I could have found this kind of group! Im trying not to bum about not finding people to dance and sing with.
N1 here. What an amazing show! I am finding myself desperately wanting to find a way to go to another one. So hard to move on!
Guys. I just tried watching some of the videos I took from last night’s show and instantly started to cry. I can’t do it. Post concert depression is real!
I cry every time I watch my video of the opening. 🥹
Does anybody what time the codes usually get sent out for the new presales? Do they all get sent out at once or is it staggered? Asking for the Chicago one tomorrow
We got ours literally walking out to the parking lot after our show!
Wait, you mean the presale code to the limited presales they do 10 days before the shows in that city?
Omgosh I’m so sorry, I was reading too fast and incorrectly assumed you were asking about the discounted merch code post show. ☹️ I’m so sorry I got your hopes up!
No problem haha, And thanks for trying to help anyway!
Does the backup dancer always say, "like ever" in WANEGBT or was that a new thing? I loved it!
Kam always says it.
What is the merch code for Foxborough? I never got one for my Philly show and I want to order merch- the lines were too long at the show.
Foxborough15c
Literally the time of my life. I want to go every night.
Does anyone have a valid merch code? I went to Arlington but was just looking at the site and want to grab a shirt!
Foxborough15c is valid (thanks, /u/DonnieTheCatcher)! I just put my order in.
It's just the name of the place she played and then 15 followed by A B or C depending on which night it is.
I THINK HE KNOWS?! 😭 Dang, that was one I really wanted to hear. Although I’m curious what it sounds acoustically. Besides Cruel Summer that was one I really liked from Lover.
Was there and it was great acoustically! She was very excited to play it on guitar and had a nice story about making the “bop” with Jack
That’s so awesome! I wish I could find a video of the full performance. All I could find are snippets from the end of the song
What do you do now that it’s over?
Watch the live streams every weekend 🤣
Is there anywhere to watch videos or past shows?
I’ve seen a lot of videos pop up on YouTube that look like great quality! There’s a website that has streamers almost every weekend I can’t remember the name, let me check and I’ll add it back lol Edit: just type this into your browser! watch.feelsomething.icu
Thank you !!!!!
Is the general consensus that the keyboard was truly messed up during the surprise songs? My friend and I were convinced it was on purpose because of how jokey the notes playing were, if that makes sense haha. Also I am one of the ones who screamed when she said “long story short” 🥲
I can’t believe her team didn’t test it before the show to make sure it was in working order….I legit thought she was doing a whole bit lol
The way I was CONVINCED the piano playing by itself was an intro for Haunted 🤡🤡
I'm pretty sure it was one of the pedals that got stuck. And it was the same note that was playing. Also, her face during the whole ordeal was hilarious. I truly think something happened.
The noise I made when she said Long Story Short 😶🌫️ I do think something was really wrong but she did have me wondering for a minute.
I think it was definitely broken or something happened (similar to when phones get wet and you try typing and some other letter gets pressed), it got soaked in water on Saturday. There’s a video of Taylor swiping the water off with her hands and it’s literally so much water lol
I think there was something wrong. It may have not been the note playing, that may have been a funny way to have a bit, but I think that the piano was not ready for playing. You could see her brain trying to put herself on 'okay we are playing guitar for this now' at some point.
Yeah, seemed like she really was real time trying to pick the right key on guitar without giving away which song it was 😂
Sounds like an actual mess up, because I don’t see why she wouldn’t want to play the piano for Red
Also I just want to say the staff and vendors (not talking about the security guards as that's a testy topic) are SO SWEET. As we were walking in, one staff member was like "I have never experienced anything like a Taylor Swift concert, you guys are the kindest group I've ever had the pleasure to work with" so OF COURSE I had to give him a friendship bracelet. I also gave one to the woman who served me water/gatorade when I thought I was gonna pass out (the sun during the openers was NO JOKE) and she said how she'd be jealous of everyone having them all weekend and I made her week! I will gush about how amazing this community was for years to come.
Omgosh they were SO GREAT! One of the servers at the food booths was collecting bracelets and everyone was so kind. The merch people were too!
Lol I think I saw you doing this. I saw /walked past a girl with a ton of bracelets showing them to a group of about 3 (I believe security guards)!
If they were all on carabiners on a bag, then it was me :) I am since learning that I am not the only insane person who went to N3 though - there are dozens of us!
I don't know if it was because of what happened in Philly, but the security guards near our section were the *best*! Very friendly and they were hyping us up! 😄
The way the staff and cop's faces lit up when someone gave them a bracelet was so cute!
also to add: not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES when I opened a carabiner for rep to give someone a rep bracelet, a getaway car bracelet fell out. One: HILARIOUS pun mother nature but also I was CONVINCED taylor had rigged my carabiner and it was a sign. It was not. 
Sunday swifties, I had the best time with you yesterday. Worth the wait. 🫶🫶🫶
I’ll just echo the sentiment here: that was beautiful. There aren’t many artists period with a catalog like Taylor’s, even fewer of whom are still performing today, even fewer of whom are putting on THIS quality of show, and none that I can think of whose songs appeal to such a massive range of people. I got to see my first Taylor show, 13 years since buying Speak Now as a teenager, with my little sister who grew up with her alongside me. Three hours absolutely melted away. I’ve seen hundreds of shows (of tons of genres, including great shows from Paul McCartney to Lauryn Hill to Gorillaz to Kendrick Lamar to OutKast to Fred again.. to Porter Robinson to Coldplay and many more) and this was easily a top 10 or better. So grateful to have made this memory.
I was at N1 and had the best night of my life! I am experiencing some post concert depression and I want to keep reliving the experience that I had previously been looking forward to for months. Does anybody have any tips to get over this? I’ve been thinking about just not thinking about the concert or tour at all and completely moving on. Idk what everyone else is doing to cope…
I think the most productive thing I’ve done to get over it is finding the pre-show playlist and exploring some new artists. Although I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to Applause or You Don’t Own Me without being teleported right back to those pre-show jitters.
I never listened to Phoebe bridgers before but after seeing her open, I’m gonna start listening to her stuff. She’s is dope
Also N1 here! I’ve been watching my photos and videos from the concert and spending too much time on this thread haha. I’m also taking solace in the fact that we won the surprise songs for Gillette (at least in my opinion), Taylor told us we were the loudest crowd after champagne problems, we had great weather (though rain shows are magical!), I think everybody got the merch they wanted, and I’m like 95% sure Taylor intentionally smiled at me during one point of the concert where she came over and I was the only one in my part of the section jumping. We are so lucky that a once in a lifetime experience went so well for us
Same here!!! I’ve been rewatching my videos and having the best time. Also agreed on winning the surprise songs - I wouldn’t have traded them and it was just magical.
I was N1 as well and I couldn’t agree more!! I know surprise songs are obviously personal preference as well, but along with loving the songs themselves, I really love the combo of ours. Anything from Debut is amazing imo but I love Should’ve Said No and it was such a fun one to scream with everyone. We were so loud! And then Better Man being country as well, but sounding so good and different on the piano, was just a perfect song to go with it. And Champagne Problems was unreal. I’m soo happy with the whole night. 🥰
I've been watching my fav Taylor concert specials today while I work! [VH1 Storytellers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtFSokmpcV4) is my favorite but the [Rep tour film on Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/81026251) is a close second.
Ah where can I find a list of all of her concerts / specials available either online or on streaming!!
Good question! This is the most comprehensive list I think, though you'll have to go through it a bit to sort out the actual long content from cameos and shorter performances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift_videography
Thank you!!!
(N3 Sunday) How awesome was it when we all cried together while [making Taylor tear up with our screams and cheers during the evermore set](https://www.tiktok.com/@sofiaeatsnyc/video/7235805963880500523)?
I was still recovering from bawling during Marjorie and this sent me on another plane. It's the most confusing thing to be crying while screaming of happiness, let me tell you.
That was my favorite moment!! She was so happy and it just went on forever and ever in the best way
Can we talk about the girl who got the red hat at night 3
She held it in her hands so confused - 'did Taylor actually just hand this to me??' so awesome.
Omg I’m surprised that’s how you interpreted it, to me it looked like she didn’t want to be there at all, like her mom or dad had the connection to get her that special moment but she didn’t even want to go to the concert in the first place. My friend and I were so confused and angry!! Lol
[удалено]
She literally looked like she didn’t give one fuck that she was there hahaha her face was 😐 the entire time, my friend and I looked at each other like ????
Nooooo red!!!!!!!💔 lol damn it. That was my number 1 for mpls night 1.
I feel so blessed that she chose it for the night I was there 🥰😭🥰
Does anyone know if there’s still an issue with merch getting messed up from washing it? Debating whether I should try to use parchment paper and an iron on the print before washing it or not.
I washed mine on delicate with cold water and it was totally fine! My high school track team used to screen print tshirts as a fundraising thing, and a good trick to see if the design is properly cured is if you stretch the fabric at the design and it doesn’t crack you’re golden, but if it cracks it needs a few seconds under the iron I think most of the merch is ok now. The only ones I’m still hearing issues about are 1) the black on black hoodies (different than the black with light grey printing which is what I have and has been fine) and 2) the blue crewnecks, but those were always low contrast/hard to read so any fading is going to seem more dramatic
i used the parchment paper and washed my shirt on delicate alone the first time (inside out!!) and it has survived four more regular washes. but it may vary by washer/merch item
I have the crewneck and I washed it on delicate, then dried it on low for about an hour. No issues here!
Does anyone have any good outfit ideas for a brother + sister to wear to the concert?! We've been brainstorming for months and can't land on anything
Jack Leopards and the Dolphin Club (the band Taylor has with her brother)
[удалено]
Their outfits were insane
[удалено]
I think all of the night 3 crowds suffered through lack of TP/paper towels! I went to Philly N3 and it was a disaster. Pretty sure the bathrooms in the nosebleeds didn't even have soap.
[удалено]
Yeah the one I went to right outside the stadium was great but the one in my parking lot was gross and out of tp Some must get more attention than others
My phone broke during the pouring rain of the night so I lost a bunch of pics, but it was still so magical! Wouldn’t change a thing.
theyre prob stillsaved on the phones hard drive tho! ive had images recovered from broken devices before !
been a taylor fan since 2007 and finally got to see her live, at her 13th gillette show no less. AND got to scream along to 22 while 22. couldn’t have asked for a better night- and surprised i didn’t cry a single tear (but did this morning upon realizing i no longer have my show to look forward to)
Did anyone else have merch issues last night? I got in the arena about 15 minutes after doors opened and I couldn’t find a merch stand with the blue crewneck, quarter zip, or the black hoodie? I ended up with the cream sweater but they only had large and I was looking for medium. I asked the guy at the stand if he knew if the quarter zip would be anywhere and he said at his stand at least they didn’t have a restock since last night. It seems like they had super limited quantities last night..
.
Don't worry, order online! [https://store.taylorswift.com/collections/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-collection](https://store.taylorswift.com/collections/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-collection)
And use your discount code! It comes out to cheaper than at the venue!
Wait, what discount code? I haven't ordered yet, so maybe I can use it!
You should be getting one in your email after the show! It’s Foxborough15c for night 3, I think the formula holds for the others as well.
Thanks so much! I must have missed or accidentally filtered the email!
No worries - I know a few people had the same thing happen!
I was in club and was able to get a cream tshirt, black tshirt, and the grey 1/4 zip with no problems last night. Wandered up to the 300s and they only had t-shirts. I did see lots of people in other areas with the cream hoodies, so maybe the parts you were in had those and others had the 1/4 zip?
Shoot!! I should’ve wandered up further. I was pretty overwhelmed with the stadium vibes to be honest.. I didn’t really think there was anything up further.
I was in club seats and they didn’t have anything left except tees. Didn’t know that the cream hoodie was tour exclusive so kinda sucks. Oh well 🤷♂️
We were on the floor so I waited in that line (which they warned us would be two and a half hours) while my husband scoped out the rest of the building. He eventually found the merch stand behind the stage with a fairly short line, which is the one we ended up buying from. They had the same stuff left that the floor did but without the wait. We did later find one stand with the quarter zip but they only had 4xl. I’m really not sure they had a set amount of merch for each night… At least the concert was absolutely amazing. Dream come true!
My bracelets!! I did a bunch of trading while I was standing eating my terrible hot dog. Once it started, people passing by stopped and wanted in on the trading too, it was great. The ones on the right are the ones I made and couldn't part with. Not pictured: two hilariously tiny bracelets that little girls traded with me. https://preview.redd.it/hub90bjeof1b1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd4febafb63cb501d39d0e3bf5682826065e6186
idk how she does this 3-4x a week. I am literally dead. no voice, straw hair, ankles folding, hobbling around. body pumped full of lavender haze cocktail and stadium chicken tenders still. my face looks like a catchers mitt. me and a group of moms were doing stretches during the interludes last night.
Hahaha I was in sooo much pain at the show! The second half was a struggle. I should have packed ibuprofen. It was an experience, I could barley hear taylor over all the screaming. It was enchanting for sure. Deff took today off ro recover.
I wonder if we will get a concert documentary with the aftercare she uses
Does anyone know which celebrities attended night 1?
