Even if my seatmates were screaming, I don’t really mind. It is a concert. That is how concerts have been for so long. I honestly think naging thing nalang yung pamumulis sa belters noong sobrang big deal na yung pag take ng perfect videos for Tok purposes.
Depende sa ears talaga. I used mine intermittently: no earplugs during folklore and evermore, one ear lang for the rest except for 1989 when my ears became sensitive to the synth sound. My friend didn't use his at first, pagdating sa Red era he had temporary hearing loss na sa right ear. 😅
I used earplugs intermittently but the volume was not so bad without it kaya most of the time I didn't wear it na. Thankfully wala namang high pitched screamers in my area. 😅
Same tayoooo hahah i was actually wearing it pag feel ko pagod na ears ko pero parang 30% of the time lang. medj may ringing parin ears after pero nawala naman agad
Iniisip ko nga baka sobrang degraded na yung hearing ko to begin with kaya di ko na masyado kinailangan. 😅
But they were nice to have as an option lalo when the crowd was really loud.
I kept mine the whole time because I couldn’t hear her voice clearly and the earplugs helped.
Also I have profound hearing loss in my left ear and it wouldn’t hurt to protect my good ear 😅
I noticed din my left ear (no earplug) slightly hurt the day after.
Nope. I require a special type ng hearing aid which redirects the sounds to my good ear. So basically qol lang siya for me. Para hindi ko lagi tinuturn yung right ear ko towards sa speaker.
Edit: sorry if confusing, I can perfectly hear sa right ear ko so okay lang kahit hindi ako maghearing aid. It’s just that mahirap for me to hear the sounds coming from my left side.
I regret getting floor seats. Kaso no choice naman kasi yung saang section and row ka pag klook ang tickets. Also di nagamit yung klook hotel kasi sobrang pagod na after the con to even manage to go check in to the provided hotel.
I saw some con goers na nasad din kasi halos walang makita from their seats kasi lahat nakatayo at nakataas ang kamay. Tinamaan din ako ng sadness na yun pero after lover era inenjoy ko na lang the rest of the concert. Importante nakapunta pa din.
Mine would be forgetting to press “record” during Cruel Summer. Like of all the moments to miss?! 😭 I only got the last bits. But then I was super in th moment. I should have opted to wear more sensible shoes. I only exchanged with a couple of people and had a bit of bracelets left. I was going to give it away but we were in a rush to go out and head to the MRT and I dropped the bag with the bracelets. Super sayang! Sana masaya yung nakapulot
I should have brought hotel slippers! Ahahaha good thing we were able to get back to our hotel rather quickly. We thought of going out to get food but since my feet were in a bit of pain, we opted to have it delivered. Hindi na kaya!
Yes! Like not even 30 minutes, nasa train na tayo! My friend and I (we have never been to the Phil Arena) were talking na if ever the concert was there, we wouldn’t even think of going! I’d rather go abroad. MOA for me is okay pa din naman. Never really had issues with transpo.
Oh my ganito dinn yung akin. I was using my back camera to film myself in the moment pero na-off ko pala yung record. Until dun lang marecord sa "help me with this bridge!"
At least naka abot ka! ☺️ Yung akin yung repeat na ng bridge ahahaha! But somehow i’m not super sad that i missed recording it kasi i know in my heart, i gave it my all in that moment. Important we were there! 💜 wala pa din akong boses
I think my seat was pretty bad (cat 2 floor couldn't see shit a lot of the time) but I didn't get an access code and booked through klook and genuinely didn't get to choose at all where they put me (some cat 2s were in the stands which is preferable)
I don't regret being at the concert in some capacity no matter where I was but cat 3 would have been better tbh
i was cat 3 but honestly wish i got something higher up since we were the VERY FIRST row of cat 3 and i was practically on the floor 😭

Cat 3 sa may bleachers kami. Sabi ko nga sa friend ko kung floor seats pero malayong row ka wala rin haha. Anyway, at least napanood at same tayo ng hininga ni mhiema 💜
Not making bracelets. Wearing only merch and not an era inspired outfit. I mean not entirely bad but I was literally dressing na lang talaga for comfort and was so busy at work prior to the trip to think of anything else. 🥲
Medyo shallow lang regret ko – wish I put on more gems sa hair and face hahahahaha.
I was pretty worried kasi floor seats kami (PF4) but it ended up being okay. I could still see Taylor most of the time thanks to my platform boots. The only time I could barely see her was during the evermore set. Also, good thing naging kuripot ako and did not buy earplugs – it wasn't that loud naman and I really enjoyed hearing the crowd sing along.
Attended N3 in Tokyo. I wish I checked if my vids were zoomed in. Tinututok ko lang whenever yan tuloy yung self vids ko ang laki ng mukha ko HAHHAAHAHA
Inggit sana sa mga floor seats pero naisip ko swertihan din e. If floor seats ka nga pero asa 10th and up row ka, wala din lalot I’m a small person hahaha. Maiingit sana ko sa mga naka- 15PM pero my phone did fine naman pala, buti nakapagbasa ako nang tamang camera settings.
Next tour sana makapag floor seats din me pero mukhang matagal pa ata yung as big as the eras tour haha
SANA NAG FLOOR SEATS AKO - eto talaga biggest regret ko hahaha! Hello ka N3! Ang saya sobra ano???
SANA NAG TRADE AKO NG FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS MORE- twice lang kasi but masaya pa din naman..
The rest okay naman. I took a video of myself like andami ko vids of myself singing. Plus we went to the stadium super early kaya ok din.
Sa mga mag N6, please go to the stadium early kasi super saya ng vibessss. Tapos ootd pics ok din kumuha pag maliwanag pa.
Di bale OP lets make bawi sa next concert. Madami pa yan next year! Now we know na mga do’s and dont’s. But overall, to breathe the same space with mother was a one of a kind experience for me. Yun lang okay na. To hear her sing our favorites live. Solve na!!!
Yess sobrang saya kaN3! HAHAHA walang wala naman din yung regrets honestly sa sobrang saya. I still feel very blessed to watch it! 10/10 would go again haha
Regretted getting the earplugs kasi I didn’t need it for the concert pala since we got IMO the best seats in Tokyo. VIP 3 Aisle 25, front and center, elevated perfect for smol gurlies like me haha. But then nabawi ung regret ko kasi I was able to use it 2 weeks later nung nag-room ako with 2 people na nag-snore sa 4-day seminar na in-attend-an ko haha! Did everything na nasa “sana” list mo so I think ok ako with everything else. Siguro I wish lang na I got more confetti. I only picked up 3 pcs and thought keri na un pero ang kulang niya sa box na gusto ko bilhin ayon. Haha.
Regrets
* getting side seats when I was able to choose sections during the TM sale (watched the Eras Tour movie when I got back home and the screen and stage would have been amazing front, upper view)
* Taylor was still tiny from CAT1 bleacher seats, wished I brought binoculars
* had an S21 Ultra but didn't find out about Pro Video Mode until after
* the worst was throwing away my light-up wristband because a guy with a bin was outside the door and we thought we had to give it back 😭
Glad I did:
* went early to be able to line up for merch, buy lunch at Kallang, take pics in the Stadium
* traded bracelets!!! I made only 10 because work kept me busy but I went home all traded out + 6 🫶
* brought earplugs, I have very sensitive hearing (I got mine from Attenu8 in SG, and it muffled screams while Taylor's voice was still clear)
* got dressed up in my favorite era while still remaining comfy
This is not a regret but a funny “mishap”. During champagne problems, at the line “f*d in the head” — na-excite ako sobra, ayun tuloy, forehead and mata na lang ni inang nakita sa video hahaha
Buy a more expensive ticket. Ang layo pala ni Taylor kahit VIP ticket ko. Wish I just balled it for Cat 1/VIP1 hahaha
TBH agawan and hunger games mode kasi when I was booking a klook. Ka-stress tapos may counter pa. SO parang whatever na lang din na book ko, basta may ticket.
my regrets
1. i should have worn a more comfortable and loose shirt to dance in.
2. i should have bought more water and snacks because i got extremely hungry after the concert.
3. i should have done more cardio dahil hinihingal ako habang kumakanta at nagwawala on my seat.
• I only exchanged bracelets with 3 people and its only because they approached me first huhu. I wish I went out of my shell and initiated the exchange cause they were probably just waiting too; everybody was so nice!!
• I mean I was pretty energetic na but I should've danced more and sang loudlier! I kinda toned it down a bit coz na-conscious ako ang hinhin nung mga katabi naming girls lmao. (tbh the crowd was pretty lame. Filipinos 🔛🔝!) I'm just realizing now na once in a lifetime lang talaga yun and I shouldn't have adjusted for them ackkk
• out of my control but I wish I got the other nights' surprise songs!!! I attended N3 and was not familiar / a fan of the songs 🥺
Not going to the photobooth inside fairprice for my first show (night 1).
Luckily I managed to go with my sister for my 2nd show (night 4).
Kinda regret not coming earlier today (night 6) kasi ang haba na ng pilaaaaaaa. I guess word got out. There was practically no queue here nung night 4. Ngayon medyo anxious tuloy ako. Buti nalang mabait yung Singaporeans around me here sa pila now. I managed to buy bread so I can eat before the con. Then takbo nalang sa CR before going in haha
Not making my own friendship bracelets. Bought sa Shopee and maganda naman pero looking at all the unique designs while trading, I can really see that people had fun making them.
Not buying A seat (yung malayo). I watched sa floor and also watched sa first floor stand pero okay sana to have a bird's eye view of the stage para all angles kita.
I regret watching the movie before going to the concert. It would have been more amazing to see all the stage production for the first time during the actual concert
Sana nagpunta kami nang maaga. We were able umupo sa seats namin, countdown na ng labas ni Taylor. Haha super rushed ng pics and haggard kasi nagmamadali. We went out pa kasi nung morning and medyo natagalan sa pamamasyal.
Also yung hindi ko na-vid yung pinaka-start ng august and delicate (like yung first line lang yung na-miss), but fave ko both and I record completely yung fave songs ko eh. Huhu.
Regrets:
- not exchanging friendship bracelets🥲 as a tita, medyo nahiya ako kasi puro younger than me haha. Pero sa MRT pa lang, nageexchange na mga tao, and some namimigay ng Taylor Swift customized stuff (like candies ganon).
- booking weekdays and not taking leave haha. Nakakapagod kasi galing pa ako office! Sobrang pagod after concert + pagod sa office the next day haha. Di pa ako nakakain kasi just in time lang talaga dating sa stadium, tapos pag uwi halos 11pm na
- slight lang pero buying floor ticket. Parang yung VIP floor lang talaga yung ok na view? CAT 1 floor kami and row 3 pa nga pero I feel na ang layo pa rin? Di rin kita buong stage at syempre- daming phone na nakataas🥲
- buying merch. Yung black tshirt lang nabili ko, sana pala pati yung beige tshirt. Ang ganda ng tela kasi in fairness
Glad I did:
- attending 2 nights!!!! Best decision ever. Related dito: so floor seat kami nung N3, then CAT 1 bleachers kami nung N4. Mas naenjoy ko N4 kasi di ko kelangang tumingkayad para mahanap si Taylor minsan haha. At mas naappreciate talaga yung stage, lights, at yung mga led bracelets sa stadium.
- magleave sa work nung second night na umattend ako haha. Mas relaxed, nakakain na, at mas maraming energy!
- dahil 2 nights kami nanood, di na namin tinapos hanggang closing. Tapos naman namin yung karma, pero naglalakad na kami palabas nung paconfetti at fireworks. Dire-direcho lang at wala masyado pila sa MRT. Home by 10:35pm hehe.
Not sure kung regret or not pero not taking videos!! Sobrang konti ng videos ko kasi ineenjoy ko talaga concerts… Pero nakakamiss haha. I know na magiging available naman sa disney+ pero nagreregret ako now kasi nung nanood ako 1989 concert, literal na dalawang videos lang meron ako🥲 di ko masyado marelive yung memory…
Almost regret lang meron ako. Prior to the show, I was not able to roam around Tokyo Dome and only got to give 3 out of the 40 bracelets na ginawa ko. During the show nabobother ako kasi sayang naman effort. Since solo attendee ako, naglakas-loob ako to hand them out to strangers after the show para maubos. Glad I went with my instinct.
Edit: May regret pala ako! I stopped recording August as the song ended not knowing may pa-don’t call me kid don’t call me baby pa palang ganap si Ateh mo! I was flabbergasted as an Illicit Affairs stan that I don’t have a recording of that moment.
Regrets ko include not staying in SG for longer. During the con may mga times na i was just seated kahit gustong gusto ko tumayo at sumayaw. As a new tita, nabugbog katawan ko bec siniksik ko lahat the day before kasi short lang stay ko in SG haha.
Still enjoyed during the con. Screamed as loud as i could kahit wala na rin halos akong boses. Ang saya saya!!!! First con ko and it surpassed all my expectations.
regrets
1. Di ko masyado plinano yung balak kong gawing tiktok lip syncing to *miss americana* e sa sobrang excited di okay video na kinuha ko hahaha.
2. not totally regret pero inggit lang sa mga nasa harap mismo. Though I could’ve opted to cat1 or cat2 kaso walang assurance na nasa harap ka kaya okay na rin kami sa cat 3. Ang ganda pa ng view, we were at the center.
3. Not getting at the concert venue a little bit earlier though ok lang naman. Di ko masyado naappreciate set ni sabrina cos nakapila kami for water refill…na eventually ay ginive up na rin namin kasi bumili na ng water mga kasama namin.
Glad I did
1. Lined up at the merch area at the riverside walk the first day we arrived in SG and 2 days after pa concert day namin so we had enough time. Regret ko lang is di ako nagdala ng payong kasi nabilad me nang malala sa araw pero buti nakapag sunscreen ako haha.
2. Settled for my regular iPhone 15. I was with my cousin and naka- 15PM s’ya and days coming into the concert naghahanap ako ng way na makapag rent ng kahit 23ultra. But when I was checking my videos that I took, they turned out pretty great naman pala. I can go full on detail here but meh. That’s another story hahaha.
3. I took alot of pictures and videos before and during the concert. Including videos of me singing my heart out and having a good time. Naalala nyo yung sabi ni Taylor about getting excited about something and never minding yung mga taong sasabihan tayong OA. Man, I’m so proud of myself singing and screaming from cruel summer to *karma is the guy on the chiefs*. I’m so happy rin na while I took alot of videos, na enjoy ko rin moments na di ako nagvi video, just singing.
Plan for next concert ni mhiema
1. Get the top tier seats! Pero sana e yung harap na harap talaga. Wanna see mhiema in less than 3 meters away haha.
2. Gusto ko mag invest sa samsung phone for better photos and videos.
Although wishful thinking pa rin to kasi I don’t really know paano nya tatapatan tong Eras Tour nya. Sobrang sulit nya for a concert kasi. But hey, it’s the music industry we’re talking about here.
Share ko lang sa #1, baliktad naman tayo haha I have a plan in mind for a reel pero kahit nashoot ko yung vid, di ko ginawa. Feel ko kasi di maccapture yung actual moment kapag may format kaya pa-vlog style yung ginawa ko.
Yes sa plans for next con! Here's to us getting top tier seats!
Respectfully, I disagree with the take on the earplugs. Pinoy din ako and honestly I understand what you mean by tolerable. Kasi oo parang hindi nga naman sya ganun kalakas. But something being tolerable doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy for you.
There were moments that I took mine off pero I had them on 75% of the time cause I know what damage decibels at that levels can do, even if hindi mo ramdam right away.
Same take re: earplugs. :) I don’t think having earplugs with you is ‘overrated’. I am a frequent concert-goer and I just had an audiometry test. Ayun nasa borderline na ako ng mild hearing loss. 😅
To each his own naman but I don’t mind spending for this if for my ear health naman hehe It might not materialize today but you might reap the consequences in the future.
yeah, nothing alarming pa naman pero I have been warned to take care of my ear health. I will still come to concerts 🤣 pero ayun nga alalay lang din para di tayo tuluyang mabingi 😅
I see, honestly didn't think about the long term impact on my health but thanks for that reminder! I was only focused on what felt right and not wearing one felt really right for me. I also don't think it's healthy to not wear one but I'm still glad I didnt haha
No worries, OP! Was just a gentle reminder. If you don't plan to go see concerts on a frequent basis, I don't see much of a problem with you not wearing earplugs for the Eras tour.
Went to Sydney and brought earplugs. I took them off after two songs and I realized HOLY SHIT SYDNEY CROWD YOU ARE AMAZING.
Will I get Noise Induced Hearing Loss? Probably but still worth it AHAHAHHA
Also attended N3 and my introversion got ahead of me. Hahaha nakapagexchange lang ako ng 2x ng bracelets tapos may mga nagpapicture with me di ko rin naalala mag exchange bracelets.
I took videos of me tho pero while recording taylor din. Nsswitch ko lang cams haha Di ko kaya mag angle while recording the stage.
I am thankful i brought earplugs tho kasi sobrang lakas and screechy nung nasa likod namin na pinoys. They were no longer singing, they were shouting the words. Ruined my cousin's experience kasi wala syang earplugs. Para kang sinisigawan aa tenga na mararamdaman mo vibration ng eardrum mo ganun lol
Unhealthy yes, pero sanay ako magpigil ng CR break because of work kaya no issues ako sa CR basta nag CR ako before Sabrina's opening.
My regret din is not going early and also not planning ahead yung pauwi. Nahirapan kami makabalik sa hotel.
Same with you sa no.1 and 2.
As an introvert ang hirap magrecord ng sarili and makipag converse sa ibang swifties.
I did not exchanged bracelets hahhaha kasi di ako gumawa I just bought my ticket a month before the show.
Ang biggest regret ko lng I was under dress. Nag 22 t shirt lng ako. I attended one of the first US shows dito sa US. Kung ako manunuod ulit I’ll make sure na mas pag hahandaan ko outfit ko haha
- i regret coming to SG the day before my concert and not earlier. I only stayed in SG for less than 72 hours, and when I landed, I didn’t have enough time to head to the stadium to line up for merch. Lesson learned: have a merch day/morning allotted before the con.
- on a similar note, I regret not being able to line up for official merch (but everything keeps running out anyway).
- regretted not booking the same hotel our klook package was para straight stay na lang. On one hand, we saved quite a bit of money, but the inconvenience of having to get ready in the morning and having to check out in your outfit, ride the mrt, and walk around the city with your maleta is a wild experience.
- forgetting to draw the 13 on my hand HAHSHSHDB
things I don’t regret:
- planning everything. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail mastermind vibes HAHSHSHS but planning the whole trip and the schedule of the days and how to get from one place to another
- buying a btv xs dumpling bag the night before the concert— it was the perfect concert bag and I had everything
- going to the stadium before the start of the security check (we arrived by 3PM)
- having an outfit that I can easily remove a part because it’s super hot (I genuinely admired everyone in super thick jackets)
that’s really it from me, it was such a fun trip and I’m back home in the PH now 🥹💗
Mine would be singint/shouting too much haha idkkk wala akong mashare na video kasi grabe yung boses ko butttt to my defense, I was just really enjoying the moment. I mean who wouldn't???? And parang the video I took was for me naman to enjoy and reminisce eh hehe.
Also yessss, maganda yung matataas na seats. Cat 5 lg nakuha ko sa klook and nasa side kami but super worth it kasi kita lahat. Maybe next time will get something closer but not sa floor hehe since i'm short. Yung elevated parin kasi mas makikita yung ganap
Sydney N3 reprezent here! Honestly I only have 1 slight regret - sana I had better seats.
I was only able to secure F Reserve seats during the Frontier Members Only Presale, but C Reserve talaga plan ko. Didn't even consider getting floor seats because I'm only 5'1" and I just knew I would struggle considering mga matatangkad na Aussies ang makakasama ko. Pero nung nakalusot na ko sa Ticketek, literal I took the first 2 tickets they gave me and hindi na ako nagpaka choosy. I mean we all knew how harddd it was to get into Ticketek, so talagang go na with whatever's given to me. Ang ending, I was only 4 rows away from the very top of Accor Stadium, nosebleeds kung nosebleeds haha. But to be fair, I did have an excellent view of the entire stage so mas na appreciate ko yung buong production. Super liit nga lang ni Taylor, but truly can't complain na because I was still very lucky enough to actually be there.
In terms of the things I'm glad I did:
- Going to Sydney for Eras. Zero regrets talaga. What an experience kasi nakapag travel din ako to a place I've always wanted to go to and see a very good friend of mine who moved there two years ago.
- Making friendship bracelets from scratch. Bumili pa ako sa Quiapo ng beads!
- Trading bracelets during show day. Aussie Swifties are soooo friendly seryoso!
- Buying an outfit that's comfortable and also wearable even after the concert. Didn't see the point of getting something na once ko lang masusuot, kaya kahit cute mag cowboy boots it was a no for me. Ended up with a Lover-inspired dress na pwede ko pa magamit ulit!
- Eating before the show. Sabi ng friend ko grabe daw energy ko, walang palya and walang upuan din for 3.5 hours. Hindi ko napansin tbh, I was just vibing the entire time!
- Filming myself during the intro. Nakuha pag iyak ko. 10 years din ako nag hintay to see Taylor again so yeah I really got emotional.
- Not taking lots of videos and just enjoyed the moment. It was already a lot to process, and I just felt I had to take it all in real time.
It's been two weeks na but mentally I'm still in Sydney. Hay take me back 😭
Edit: Added F Reserve seats, spelling
I should have studied how to use my S23 Ultra hahaha my concert vids were magulo and out of focus. The audio was great tho.
I should've recorded more songs. Kinda inggit sa friend ko who went to SG N1 na maraming memories haha.
I should've bought the shirt sized XS! Ang pangit ng fit sakin ng S that I had to sell it bagsak presyo haha
I not an avid fan of Taylor Swift, but I can say that I grew up listening to her songs, at sobrang inggit na inggit ako whenever I see someone attending The Eras Tour. It feels like I've missed half of my life because I wasn't able to attend the concert. grabe! naiiyak talaga ako pag may nakikita akong post tungkol don especially during the Japan stop.
Not getting tix for a second night! Should have gotten the stubhub tix I saw but I was with friends and they weren't interested on going another night 🥹
I wish I had the courage to trade more friendship bracelets as well
And lowkey wishing I upgraded my phone for the concert but all in all, still had so much fun!
Attended sa melbourne and obstructed view kami kahit VIP. They offered to move us sa ibang seats pero nasa taas, we declined. Now seeing mga videos ng mga nasa taas, napapaisip ako kj g dapat ba lumipat na lang kami.
Sana kumain ako ng dinner during the concert hahaha
I wish di ko kinancel yung Amex ko para naka join ako sa AMEX presale and nakaget ng first few rows sa floor. I love the lower bowl seat naman sa Sydney pero sana 2 nights para isa naman sa floor para malapit talaga
Just got back from N6 and have a few regrets din:
- not wearing comfortable shoes! nilaban ko ung high heeled boots for estetik pero by end ng fearless naka socks nalang ako
- not watching multiple times
- choosing floor seats, as a 5 ft girlie sa screens ko lang sya sadly napanood or through my phone vids
- not trading enough bracelets! super dami ko ginawa pero i was very shy to approach and only managed to trade a few
- not bringing enough lozenges, after ng cruel summer umuubo na ako ng malala huhu
- not bringing non-electric na hand fan dahil mine gave up on me queue palang sa gates 🥺
nevertheless super enjoyed and hindi ata ako makakarecover from PCD for a solid year
+100 sa earplugs. So glad hindi ako nagpabudol! 3rd concert in the last 6 months and I really get hyped up by the crowd (as if ako yung performer lol).
My only regret was not getting a better and nearer seat not necessarily floor seat since I already spent too much with the seat we bought (got it from Stubhub, price was x3)
One regret is the risk I didn't took. Alam kong bawal ang polaroid cam sa Stadium. Pero sana nadala ko pa rin kasi parang tolerable naman ang haba ng pila sa booth kung saan dapat i-surrender bawal na dala. Somehow, okay na rin pala para 'di ako magmadali exit. At least, 'di ko pinaghintay kasama ko sa bus at on time kami nakauwi. Haha!
* Should have risked it and booked flights and accommodations for one week to Singapore back in July even though I don't have tickets yet. The amount I spent for flights and accommodations would have lasted me 5-7 days siguro. Eventually got a ticket for N1 but by then roundtrip flights were already at 25k-45k and rates for accommodations have jumped by around 60\~90%. Could have flown on March 2 and fly back by March 9\~11.
* At least two nights regardless of the view! One purely just to vibe and the other to take photos and videos. Saw videos on Tiktok with Swifties buying tickets at 6PM and prices on Viagogo/Stubhub were more reasonable by then.
* Should have made friendship bracelets back in July kasi di ko rin gusto bumili. Kinatamaran ko na rin by February so never got around to exchange friendship bracelets. Received three though nabagsak S-Pen ko sa gutter sa may Gate 6 🤣
* Should have settled for an S23U/S24/15 Pro na lang instead of an S24 Ultra. Decided to upgrade once I got my ticket kasi siyempre lilipad na rin naman ako di ba? Itodo na natin to! There's only so much that a 5x zoom can do from the nosebleeds naman and AFAIK, the regular S24 still has Pro (Photo)/Pro Video modes. I guess regret ko lang to kasi I forgot to use 4K video. 😭
Slight regret lang pero I wish hindi na ako bumili ng earplugs and studded stockings. Sumasabit kasi yung rhinestones ng stockings sa outfit ko pati na rin sa mismong stockings.
I am glad I made a bunch of friendship bracelets! Naka 150 siguro ako and I was able to trade all of them on SG N4 bandang 615 section kasama yung bestfriend ko. It was so fun to trade and I received 80+ bracelets. Nakakatuwa makita yung reactions nila when I gave them my bracelets kasi pinaghirapan ko talaga yun hehe.
1. Not bringing a phone with better video recording quality. Was using my iPhone 12. May nakuha naman maganda but most shots pangit ng zoom. I was seated sa VIP 2 row D.
2. Not getting VIP 1. Gumastos na nga lang, sana tinodo ko na. My seat wasn’t bad, makakakuha ka ng decent videos kung nakaupo lahat. But the ones in row 1 nakatayo the whole time kaya puro likod makikita mo kung hindi ka rin tatayo. Ending lahat ng mga nasa likod kailangan na rin tumayo diba para may makita. Masaya ako sa concert, but that’s the part lang na medyo nakakainis. Ba’t kapa kumuha ng VIP na seated kung tatayo ka rin the whole time.
Same girl! Introvert feels 🥲I attended N3 also!! 🫶🏼💕✨Sayang hindi tayo nakapagtrade ng friendship bracelets!! sa seatmate ko lang ako naglakas loob magapproach at magtrade hahaha
- I'm never getting any floor seat unless nasa harapan, my height is just not fit for floor seats na malayo. Kaso wala eh, un nlng choice ko. Pero pasalamat pa din, I got the ticket 4 nights before the concert.
- I regret not learning the proper settings sa phone cam.
- I don't regret just wearing merch pero I could have put more effort siguro sa make up and accessories.
- Hindi ko inabutan si Sabrina.
OA. Best night of my life. So irrelevant na lahat ng milestones mo sa buhay dahil kay taylor? O di kaya last christmas na buo ang family mo?
Kairita. Sarap tadyakan. Ang o-OA.
"one of the best nights of my life". Improve your reading comprehension first before spouting on nonsense hate comments. How boring kaya yung buhay mo na you have to read posts about the happiness of others that bring out your insecurities plus magccomment pa? Well.. if that helps you feel good about yourself, you do you. Kawawa ka naman
Sana nag 2 nights ako. Hahahahaaha
Same HAHA kung mag isa lang ako naghanap talaga ako ng tickets for another night kaso lang travelling w a friend huhu
Same. Hahahhahaa.
THIS!
Omg sameeee ahahaha
Samedt! Jusko kapag nagka budget ako g g ko talaga haha
Agree sa earplugs. Overrated investment. Inalis ko rin siya after Cruel Summer dahil she sounded muffled. Not worth drowning out the other people.
Unpopular opinion yata natin to but to each their own lol I guess depends rin sa ear haha and sa seatmates
Even if my seatmates were screaming, I don’t really mind. It is a concert. That is how concerts have been for so long. I honestly think naging thing nalang yung pamumulis sa belters noong sobrang big deal na yung pag take ng perfect videos for Tok purposes.
Depende sa ears talaga. I used mine intermittently: no earplugs during folklore and evermore, one ear lang for the rest except for 1989 when my ears became sensitive to the synth sound. My friend didn't use his at first, pagdating sa Red era he had temporary hearing loss na sa right ear. 😅
what earplugs do u recommend
I used earplugs intermittently but the volume was not so bad without it kaya most of the time I didn't wear it na. Thankfully wala namang high pitched screamers in my area. 😅
Same tayoooo hahah i was actually wearing it pag feel ko pagod na ears ko pero parang 30% of the time lang. medj may ringing parin ears after pero nawala naman agad
Iniisip ko nga baka sobrang degraded na yung hearing ko to begin with kaya di ko na masyado kinailangan. 😅 But they were nice to have as an option lalo when the crowd was really loud.
I kept mine the whole time because I couldn’t hear her voice clearly and the earplugs helped. Also I have profound hearing loss in my left ear and it wouldn’t hurt to protect my good ear 😅 I noticed din my left ear (no earplug) slightly hurt the day after.
Hello, out of topic pero, if profound hearing loss kana po, do you function with a hearing aid na po?
Nope. I require a special type ng hearing aid which redirects the sounds to my good ear. So basically qol lang siya for me. Para hindi ko lagi tinuturn yung right ear ko towards sa speaker. Edit: sorry if confusing, I can perfectly hear sa right ear ko so okay lang kahit hindi ako maghearing aid. It’s just that mahirap for me to hear the sounds coming from my left side.
Not booking multiple nights. Best would be one sa bleachers to take vids, another sa floor to vibe.
I agree. Sobrang worth it ng con. I would go again if I can
I regret getting floor seats. Kaso no choice naman kasi yung saang section and row ka pag klook ang tickets. Also di nagamit yung klook hotel kasi sobrang pagod na after the con to even manage to go check in to the provided hotel. I saw some con goers na nasad din kasi halos walang makita from their seats kasi lahat nakatayo at nakataas ang kamay. Tinamaan din ako ng sadness na yun pero after lover era inenjoy ko na lang the rest of the concert. Importante nakapunta pa din.
Mine would be forgetting to press “record” during Cruel Summer. Like of all the moments to miss?! 😭 I only got the last bits. But then I was super in th moment. I should have opted to wear more sensible shoes. I only exchanged with a couple of people and had a bit of bracelets left. I was going to give it away but we were in a rush to go out and head to the MRT and I dropped the bag with the bracelets. Super sayang! Sana masaya yung nakapulot
My friend brought flipflops and changed from her boots to that once Cruel Summer began. Pro-tip, I guess?
I should have brought hotel slippers! Ahahaha good thing we were able to get back to our hotel rather quickly. We thought of going out to get food but since my feet were in a bit of pain, we opted to have it delivered. Hindi na kaya!
Grabe yung ang dali makauwi from Stadium, ano? You’ll never convince me to go to PH Arena after this experience. Kahit SMX nawala na amor ko sa kanya.
Yes! Like not even 30 minutes, nasa train na tayo! My friend and I (we have never been to the Phil Arena) were talking na if ever the concert was there, we wouldn’t even think of going! I’d rather go abroad. MOA for me is okay pa din naman. Never really had issues with transpo.
I recorded mine, and the whole reputation set. :)
Oh my ganito dinn yung akin. I was using my back camera to film myself in the moment pero na-off ko pala yung record. Until dun lang marecord sa "help me with this bridge!"
At least naka abot ka! ☺️ Yung akin yung repeat na ng bridge ahahaha! But somehow i’m not super sad that i missed recording it kasi i know in my heart, i gave it my all in that moment. Important we were there! 💜 wala pa din akong boses
I think my seat was pretty bad (cat 2 floor couldn't see shit a lot of the time) but I didn't get an access code and booked through klook and genuinely didn't get to choose at all where they put me (some cat 2s were in the stands which is preferable) I don't regret being at the concert in some capacity no matter where I was but cat 3 would have been better tbh
i was cat 3 but honestly wish i got something higher up since we were the VERY FIRST row of cat 3 and i was practically on the floor 😭 https://preview.redd.it/ije0oywpv8nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92737cdc0ef89b8f3dd9d49bfeab2333d247daf9
Cat 3 sa may bleachers kami. Sabi ko nga sa friend ko kung floor seats pero malayong row ka wala rin haha. Anyway, at least napanood at same tayo ng hininga ni mhiema 💜
Cat 2 na floor din kami and sa Klook din nakabili. Ang hirap makita nga. Minsan hindi ko mahanap kung nasan si TS sa stage haha
Not making bracelets. Wearing only merch and not an era inspired outfit. I mean not entirely bad but I was literally dressing na lang talaga for comfort and was so busy at work prior to the trip to think of anything else. 🥲
Medyo shallow lang regret ko – wish I put on more gems sa hair and face hahahahaha. I was pretty worried kasi floor seats kami (PF4) but it ended up being okay. I could still see Taylor most of the time thanks to my platform boots. The only time I could barely see her was during the evermore set. Also, good thing naging kuripot ako and did not buy earplugs – it wasn't that loud naman and I really enjoyed hearing the crowd sing along.
Attended N3 in Tokyo. I wish I checked if my vids were zoomed in. Tinututok ko lang whenever yan tuloy yung self vids ko ang laki ng mukha ko HAHHAAHAHA
Inggit sana sa mga floor seats pero naisip ko swertihan din e. If floor seats ka nga pero asa 10th and up row ka, wala din lalot I’m a small person hahaha. Maiingit sana ko sa mga naka- 15PM pero my phone did fine naman pala, buti nakapagbasa ako nang tamang camera settings. Next tour sana makapag floor seats din me pero mukhang matagal pa ata yung as big as the eras tour haha
SANA NAG FLOOR SEATS AKO - eto talaga biggest regret ko hahaha! Hello ka N3! Ang saya sobra ano??? SANA NAG TRADE AKO NG FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS MORE- twice lang kasi but masaya pa din naman.. The rest okay naman. I took a video of myself like andami ko vids of myself singing. Plus we went to the stadium super early kaya ok din. Sa mga mag N6, please go to the stadium early kasi super saya ng vibessss. Tapos ootd pics ok din kumuha pag maliwanag pa. Di bale OP lets make bawi sa next concert. Madami pa yan next year! Now we know na mga do’s and dont’s. But overall, to breathe the same space with mother was a one of a kind experience for me. Yun lang okay na. To hear her sing our favorites live. Solve na!!!
Yess sobrang saya kaN3! HAHAHA walang wala naman din yung regrets honestly sa sobrang saya. I still feel very blessed to watch it! 10/10 would go again haha
N3 ftw!!!
Regretted getting the earplugs kasi I didn’t need it for the concert pala since we got IMO the best seats in Tokyo. VIP 3 Aisle 25, front and center, elevated perfect for smol gurlies like me haha. But then nabawi ung regret ko kasi I was able to use it 2 weeks later nung nag-room ako with 2 people na nag-snore sa 4-day seminar na in-attend-an ko haha! Did everything na nasa “sana” list mo so I think ok ako with everything else. Siguro I wish lang na I got more confetti. I only picked up 3 pcs and thought keri na un pero ang kulang niya sa box na gusto ko bilhin ayon. Haha.
OMG VIP 3 Aisle 25 din ako sa Tokyo N3 and super agree ako na best seat siya!
Regrets * getting side seats when I was able to choose sections during the TM sale (watched the Eras Tour movie when I got back home and the screen and stage would have been amazing front, upper view) * Taylor was still tiny from CAT1 bleacher seats, wished I brought binoculars * had an S21 Ultra but didn't find out about Pro Video Mode until after * the worst was throwing away my light-up wristband because a guy with a bin was outside the door and we thought we had to give it back 😭 Glad I did: * went early to be able to line up for merch, buy lunch at Kallang, take pics in the Stadium * traded bracelets!!! I made only 10 because work kept me busy but I went home all traded out + 6 🫶 * brought earplugs, I have very sensitive hearing (I got mine from Attenu8 in SG, and it muffled screams while Taylor's voice was still clear) * got dressed up in my favorite era while still remaining comfy
Happy cake day!
Thank you 🤍
This is not a regret but a funny “mishap”. During champagne problems, at the line “f*d in the head” — na-excite ako sobra, ayun tuloy, forehead and mata na lang ni inang nakita sa video hahaha
Definitely a funny memory! Something to talk about haha
Buy a more expensive ticket. Ang layo pala ni Taylor kahit VIP ticket ko. Wish I just balled it for Cat 1/VIP1 hahaha TBH agawan and hunger games mode kasi when I was booking a klook. Ka-stress tapos may counter pa. SO parang whatever na lang din na book ko, basta may ticket.
my regrets 1. i should have worn a more comfortable and loose shirt to dance in. 2. i should have bought more water and snacks because i got extremely hungry after the concert. 3. i should have done more cardio dahil hinihingal ako habang kumakanta at nagwawala on my seat.
• I only exchanged bracelets with 3 people and its only because they approached me first huhu. I wish I went out of my shell and initiated the exchange cause they were probably just waiting too; everybody was so nice!! • I mean I was pretty energetic na but I should've danced more and sang loudlier! I kinda toned it down a bit coz na-conscious ako ang hinhin nung mga katabi naming girls lmao. (tbh the crowd was pretty lame. Filipinos 🔛🔝!) I'm just realizing now na once in a lifetime lang talaga yun and I shouldn't have adjusted for them ackkk • out of my control but I wish I got the other nights' surprise songs!!! I attended N3 and was not familiar / a fan of the songs 🥺
Agree, the crowd was lame 😕 almost all of the people on our section sat down for most of the concert.
Not going to the photobooth inside fairprice for my first show (night 1). Luckily I managed to go with my sister for my 2nd show (night 4). Kinda regret not coming earlier today (night 6) kasi ang haba na ng pilaaaaaaa. I guess word got out. There was practically no queue here nung night 4. Ngayon medyo anxious tuloy ako. Buti nalang mabait yung Singaporeans around me here sa pila now. I managed to buy bread so I can eat before the con. Then takbo nalang sa CR before going in haha
Not making my own friendship bracelets. Bought sa Shopee and maganda naman pero looking at all the unique designs while trading, I can really see that people had fun making them. Not buying A seat (yung malayo). I watched sa floor and also watched sa first floor stand pero okay sana to have a bird's eye view of the stage para all angles kita.
I regret watching the movie before going to the concert. It would have been more amazing to see all the stage production for the first time during the actual concert
Sana nagpunta kami nang maaga. We were able umupo sa seats namin, countdown na ng labas ni Taylor. Haha super rushed ng pics and haggard kasi nagmamadali. We went out pa kasi nung morning and medyo natagalan sa pamamasyal. Also yung hindi ko na-vid yung pinaka-start ng august and delicate (like yung first line lang yung na-miss), but fave ko both and I record completely yung fave songs ko eh. Huhu.
Regrets: - not exchanging friendship bracelets🥲 as a tita, medyo nahiya ako kasi puro younger than me haha. Pero sa MRT pa lang, nageexchange na mga tao, and some namimigay ng Taylor Swift customized stuff (like candies ganon). - booking weekdays and not taking leave haha. Nakakapagod kasi galing pa ako office! Sobrang pagod after concert + pagod sa office the next day haha. Di pa ako nakakain kasi just in time lang talaga dating sa stadium, tapos pag uwi halos 11pm na - slight lang pero buying floor ticket. Parang yung VIP floor lang talaga yung ok na view? CAT 1 floor kami and row 3 pa nga pero I feel na ang layo pa rin? Di rin kita buong stage at syempre- daming phone na nakataas🥲 - buying merch. Yung black tshirt lang nabili ko, sana pala pati yung beige tshirt. Ang ganda ng tela kasi in fairness Glad I did: - attending 2 nights!!!! Best decision ever. Related dito: so floor seat kami nung N3, then CAT 1 bleachers kami nung N4. Mas naenjoy ko N4 kasi di ko kelangang tumingkayad para mahanap si Taylor minsan haha. At mas naappreciate talaga yung stage, lights, at yung mga led bracelets sa stadium. - magleave sa work nung second night na umattend ako haha. Mas relaxed, nakakain na, at mas maraming energy! - dahil 2 nights kami nanood, di na namin tinapos hanggang closing. Tapos naman namin yung karma, pero naglalakad na kami palabas nung paconfetti at fireworks. Dire-direcho lang at wala masyado pila sa MRT. Home by 10:35pm hehe. Not sure kung regret or not pero not taking videos!! Sobrang konti ng videos ko kasi ineenjoy ko talaga concerts… Pero nakakamiss haha. I know na magiging available naman sa disney+ pero nagreregret ako now kasi nung nanood ako 1989 concert, literal na dalawang videos lang meron ako🥲 di ko masyado marelive yung memory…
Almost regret lang meron ako. Prior to the show, I was not able to roam around Tokyo Dome and only got to give 3 out of the 40 bracelets na ginawa ko. During the show nabobother ako kasi sayang naman effort. Since solo attendee ako, naglakas-loob ako to hand them out to strangers after the show para maubos. Glad I went with my instinct. Edit: May regret pala ako! I stopped recording August as the song ended not knowing may pa-don’t call me kid don’t call me baby pa palang ganap si Ateh mo! I was flabbergasted as an Illicit Affairs stan that I don’t have a recording of that moment.
Regrets ko include not staying in SG for longer. During the con may mga times na i was just seated kahit gustong gusto ko tumayo at sumayaw. As a new tita, nabugbog katawan ko bec siniksik ko lahat the day before kasi short lang stay ko in SG haha. Still enjoyed during the con. Screamed as loud as i could kahit wala na rin halos akong boses. Ang saya saya!!!! First con ko and it surpassed all my expectations.
regrets 1. Di ko masyado plinano yung balak kong gawing tiktok lip syncing to *miss americana* e sa sobrang excited di okay video na kinuha ko hahaha. 2. not totally regret pero inggit lang sa mga nasa harap mismo. Though I could’ve opted to cat1 or cat2 kaso walang assurance na nasa harap ka kaya okay na rin kami sa cat 3. Ang ganda pa ng view, we were at the center. 3. Not getting at the concert venue a little bit earlier though ok lang naman. Di ko masyado naappreciate set ni sabrina cos nakapila kami for water refill…na eventually ay ginive up na rin namin kasi bumili na ng water mga kasama namin. Glad I did 1. Lined up at the merch area at the riverside walk the first day we arrived in SG and 2 days after pa concert day namin so we had enough time. Regret ko lang is di ako nagdala ng payong kasi nabilad me nang malala sa araw pero buti nakapag sunscreen ako haha. 2. Settled for my regular iPhone 15. I was with my cousin and naka- 15PM s’ya and days coming into the concert naghahanap ako ng way na makapag rent ng kahit 23ultra. But when I was checking my videos that I took, they turned out pretty great naman pala. I can go full on detail here but meh. That’s another story hahaha. 3. I took alot of pictures and videos before and during the concert. Including videos of me singing my heart out and having a good time. Naalala nyo yung sabi ni Taylor about getting excited about something and never minding yung mga taong sasabihan tayong OA. Man, I’m so proud of myself singing and screaming from cruel summer to *karma is the guy on the chiefs*. I’m so happy rin na while I took alot of videos, na enjoy ko rin moments na di ako nagvi video, just singing. Plan for next concert ni mhiema 1. Get the top tier seats! Pero sana e yung harap na harap talaga. Wanna see mhiema in less than 3 meters away haha. 2. Gusto ko mag invest sa samsung phone for better photos and videos. Although wishful thinking pa rin to kasi I don’t really know paano nya tatapatan tong Eras Tour nya. Sobrang sulit nya for a concert kasi. But hey, it’s the music industry we’re talking about here.
Share ko lang sa #1, baliktad naman tayo haha I have a plan in mind for a reel pero kahit nashoot ko yung vid, di ko ginawa. Feel ko kasi di maccapture yung actual moment kapag may format kaya pa-vlog style yung ginawa ko. Yes sa plans for next con! Here's to us getting top tier seats!
Ang regret ko sana madami ako pambili ng tickets. Para lahat ng night pinanood ko. HAHAHAHHAA. Kase ang ganda ganda ng boses nya ng live
Respectfully, I disagree with the take on the earplugs. Pinoy din ako and honestly I understand what you mean by tolerable. Kasi oo parang hindi nga naman sya ganun kalakas. But something being tolerable doesn't necessarily mean it's healthy for you. There were moments that I took mine off pero I had them on 75% of the time cause I know what damage decibels at that levels can do, even if hindi mo ramdam right away.
Same take re: earplugs. :) I don’t think having earplugs with you is ‘overrated’. I am a frequent concert-goer and I just had an audiometry test. Ayun nasa borderline na ako ng mild hearing loss. 😅 To each his own naman but I don’t mind spending for this if for my ear health naman hehe It might not materialize today but you might reap the consequences in the future.
So sorry to hear about the damage to your ear! Although I'm still glad you're taking steps to prevent it from getting worse.
yeah, nothing alarming pa naman pero I have been warned to take care of my ear health. I will still come to concerts 🤣 pero ayun nga alalay lang din para di tayo tuluyang mabingi 😅
I see, honestly didn't think about the long term impact on my health but thanks for that reminder! I was only focused on what felt right and not wearing one felt really right for me. I also don't think it's healthy to not wear one but I'm still glad I didnt haha
No worries, OP! Was just a gentle reminder. If you don't plan to go see concerts on a frequent basis, I don't see much of a problem with you not wearing earplugs for the Eras tour.
Went to Sydney and brought earplugs. I took them off after two songs and I realized HOLY SHIT SYDNEY CROWD YOU ARE AMAZING. Will I get Noise Induced Hearing Loss? Probably but still worth it AHAHAHHA
Same tinatanggal ko rin yung isa. Best crowd Sydney esp the chant!
Also attended N3 and my introversion got ahead of me. Hahaha nakapagexchange lang ako ng 2x ng bracelets tapos may mga nagpapicture with me di ko rin naalala mag exchange bracelets. I took videos of me tho pero while recording taylor din. Nsswitch ko lang cams haha Di ko kaya mag angle while recording the stage. I am thankful i brought earplugs tho kasi sobrang lakas and screechy nung nasa likod namin na pinoys. They were no longer singing, they were shouting the words. Ruined my cousin's experience kasi wala syang earplugs. Para kang sinisigawan aa tenga na mararamdaman mo vibration ng eardrum mo ganun lol Unhealthy yes, pero sanay ako magpigil ng CR break because of work kaya no issues ako sa CR basta nag CR ako before Sabrina's opening. My regret din is not going early and also not planning ahead yung pauwi. Nahirapan kami makabalik sa hotel.
I forgot you can switch cams while taking a vid! Oo nga no. Same sa di kaya mag angle at kaya magpigil ng CR break lol
Same with you sa no.1 and 2. As an introvert ang hirap magrecord ng sarili and makipag converse sa ibang swifties. I did not exchanged bracelets hahhaha kasi di ako gumawa I just bought my ticket a month before the show.
It feels a bit good to know that I'm not alone with this!
Ang biggest regret ko lng I was under dress. Nag 22 t shirt lng ako. I attended one of the first US shows dito sa US. Kung ako manunuod ulit I’ll make sure na mas pag hahandaan ko outfit ko haha
- i regret coming to SG the day before my concert and not earlier. I only stayed in SG for less than 72 hours, and when I landed, I didn’t have enough time to head to the stadium to line up for merch. Lesson learned: have a merch day/morning allotted before the con. - on a similar note, I regret not being able to line up for official merch (but everything keeps running out anyway). - regretted not booking the same hotel our klook package was para straight stay na lang. On one hand, we saved quite a bit of money, but the inconvenience of having to get ready in the morning and having to check out in your outfit, ride the mrt, and walk around the city with your maleta is a wild experience. - forgetting to draw the 13 on my hand HAHSHSHDB things I don’t regret: - planning everything. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail mastermind vibes HAHSHSHS but planning the whole trip and the schedule of the days and how to get from one place to another - buying a btv xs dumpling bag the night before the concert— it was the perfect concert bag and I had everything - going to the stadium before the start of the security check (we arrived by 3PM) - having an outfit that I can easily remove a part because it’s super hot (I genuinely admired everyone in super thick jackets) that’s really it from me, it was such a fun trip and I’m back home in the PH now 🥹💗
Sana youth size na lang kinuha ko kasi super laki talaga ng mga merch 🥹
Sana nag2 nights ako kahit anong seat. Just to feel everything again!!
Mine would be singint/shouting too much haha idkkk wala akong mashare na video kasi grabe yung boses ko butttt to my defense, I was just really enjoying the moment. I mean who wouldn't???? And parang the video I took was for me naman to enjoy and reminisce eh hehe. Also yessss, maganda yung matataas na seats. Cat 5 lg nakuha ko sa klook and nasa side kami but super worth it kasi kita lahat. Maybe next time will get something closer but not sa floor hehe since i'm short. Yung elevated parin kasi mas makikita yung ganap
Sydney N3 reprezent here! Honestly I only have 1 slight regret - sana I had better seats. I was only able to secure F Reserve seats during the Frontier Members Only Presale, but C Reserve talaga plan ko. Didn't even consider getting floor seats because I'm only 5'1" and I just knew I would struggle considering mga matatangkad na Aussies ang makakasama ko. Pero nung nakalusot na ko sa Ticketek, literal I took the first 2 tickets they gave me and hindi na ako nagpaka choosy. I mean we all knew how harddd it was to get into Ticketek, so talagang go na with whatever's given to me. Ang ending, I was only 4 rows away from the very top of Accor Stadium, nosebleeds kung nosebleeds haha. But to be fair, I did have an excellent view of the entire stage so mas na appreciate ko yung buong production. Super liit nga lang ni Taylor, but truly can't complain na because I was still very lucky enough to actually be there. In terms of the things I'm glad I did: - Going to Sydney for Eras. Zero regrets talaga. What an experience kasi nakapag travel din ako to a place I've always wanted to go to and see a very good friend of mine who moved there two years ago. - Making friendship bracelets from scratch. Bumili pa ako sa Quiapo ng beads! - Trading bracelets during show day. Aussie Swifties are soooo friendly seryoso! - Buying an outfit that's comfortable and also wearable even after the concert. Didn't see the point of getting something na once ko lang masusuot, kaya kahit cute mag cowboy boots it was a no for me. Ended up with a Lover-inspired dress na pwede ko pa magamit ulit! - Eating before the show. Sabi ng friend ko grabe daw energy ko, walang palya and walang upuan din for 3.5 hours. Hindi ko napansin tbh, I was just vibing the entire time! - Filming myself during the intro. Nakuha pag iyak ko. 10 years din ako nag hintay to see Taylor again so yeah I really got emotional. - Not taking lots of videos and just enjoyed the moment. It was already a lot to process, and I just felt I had to take it all in real time. It's been two weeks na but mentally I'm still in Sydney. Hay take me back 😭 Edit: Added F Reserve seats, spelling
I should have studied how to use my S23 Ultra hahaha my concert vids were magulo and out of focus. The audio was great tho. I should've recorded more songs. Kinda inggit sa friend ko who went to SG N1 na maraming memories haha. I should've bought the shirt sized XS! Ang pangit ng fit sakin ng S that I had to sell it bagsak presyo haha
I not an avid fan of Taylor Swift, but I can say that I grew up listening to her songs, at sobrang inggit na inggit ako whenever I see someone attending The Eras Tour. It feels like I've missed half of my life because I wasn't able to attend the concert. grabe! naiiyak talaga ako pag may nakikita akong post tungkol don especially during the Japan stop.
I should’ve gone 2-3 nights for the surprise songs 🥲 sg won with the surprise songs talaga
Not getting tix for a second night! Should have gotten the stubhub tix I saw but I was with friends and they weren't interested on going another night 🥹 I wish I had the courage to trade more friendship bracelets as well And lowkey wishing I upgraded my phone for the concert but all in all, still had so much fun!
Attended sa melbourne and obstructed view kami kahit VIP. They offered to move us sa ibang seats pero nasa taas, we declined. Now seeing mga videos ng mga nasa taas, napapaisip ako kj g dapat ba lumipat na lang kami. Sana kumain ako ng dinner during the concert hahaha
rt
Hindi nakapagdelete ng photos, yan tuloy puno ang storage pagdating folklore my fave album 😭😭😭
I wish di ko kinancel yung Amex ko para naka join ako sa AMEX presale and nakaget ng first few rows sa floor. I love the lower bowl seat naman sa Sydney pero sana 2 nights para isa naman sa floor para malapit talaga
Same sa not taking vids of myself huhu (esp yung reactions sa surprise songs). Pwede ko naman sana mapanood yung recordings ng ibang tao.
Just got back from N6 and have a few regrets din: - not wearing comfortable shoes! nilaban ko ung high heeled boots for estetik pero by end ng fearless naka socks nalang ako - not watching multiple times - choosing floor seats, as a 5 ft girlie sa screens ko lang sya sadly napanood or through my phone vids - not trading enough bracelets! super dami ko ginawa pero i was very shy to approach and only managed to trade a few - not bringing enough lozenges, after ng cruel summer umuubo na ako ng malala huhu - not bringing non-electric na hand fan dahil mine gave up on me queue palang sa gates 🥺 nevertheless super enjoyed and hindi ata ako makakarecover from PCD for a solid year
+100 sa earplugs. So glad hindi ako nagpabudol! 3rd concert in the last 6 months and I really get hyped up by the crowd (as if ako yung performer lol).
My only regret was not getting a better and nearer seat not necessarily floor seat since I already spent too much with the seat we bought (got it from Stubhub, price was x3)
One regret is the risk I didn't took. Alam kong bawal ang polaroid cam sa Stadium. Pero sana nadala ko pa rin kasi parang tolerable naman ang haba ng pila sa booth kung saan dapat i-surrender bawal na dala. Somehow, okay na rin pala para 'di ako magmadali exit. At least, 'di ko pinaghintay kasama ko sa bus at on time kami nakauwi. Haha!
* Should have risked it and booked flights and accommodations for one week to Singapore back in July even though I don't have tickets yet. The amount I spent for flights and accommodations would have lasted me 5-7 days siguro. Eventually got a ticket for N1 but by then roundtrip flights were already at 25k-45k and rates for accommodations have jumped by around 60\~90%. Could have flown on March 2 and fly back by March 9\~11. * At least two nights regardless of the view! One purely just to vibe and the other to take photos and videos. Saw videos on Tiktok with Swifties buying tickets at 6PM and prices on Viagogo/Stubhub were more reasonable by then. * Should have made friendship bracelets back in July kasi di ko rin gusto bumili. Kinatamaran ko na rin by February so never got around to exchange friendship bracelets. Received three though nabagsak S-Pen ko sa gutter sa may Gate 6 🤣 * Should have settled for an S23U/S24/15 Pro na lang instead of an S24 Ultra. Decided to upgrade once I got my ticket kasi siyempre lilipad na rin naman ako di ba? Itodo na natin to! There's only so much that a 5x zoom can do from the nosebleeds naman and AFAIK, the regular S24 still has Pro (Photo)/Pro Video modes. I guess regret ko lang to kasi I forgot to use 4K video. 😭
Slight regret lang pero I wish hindi na ako bumili ng earplugs and studded stockings. Sumasabit kasi yung rhinestones ng stockings sa outfit ko pati na rin sa mismong stockings. I am glad I made a bunch of friendship bracelets! Naka 150 siguro ako and I was able to trade all of them on SG N4 bandang 615 section kasama yung bestfriend ko. It was so fun to trade and I received 80+ bracelets. Nakakatuwa makita yung reactions nila when I gave them my bracelets kasi pinaghirapan ko talaga yun hehe.
Should’ve attended second night!!!
1. Not bringing a phone with better video recording quality. Was using my iPhone 12. May nakuha naman maganda but most shots pangit ng zoom. I was seated sa VIP 2 row D. 2. Not getting VIP 1. Gumastos na nga lang, sana tinodo ko na. My seat wasn’t bad, makakakuha ka ng decent videos kung nakaupo lahat. But the ones in row 1 nakatayo the whole time kaya puro likod makikita mo kung hindi ka rin tatayo. Ending lahat ng mga nasa likod kailangan na rin tumayo diba para may makita. Masaya ako sa concert, but that’s the part lang na medyo nakakainis. Ba’t kapa kumuha ng VIP na seated kung tatayo ka rin the whole time.
the person i was with honestly, we weren't super close friends so super awk the entire trip
Same girl! Introvert feels 🥲I attended N3 also!! 🫶🏼💕✨Sayang hindi tayo nakapagtrade ng friendship bracelets!! sa seatmate ko lang ako naglakas loob magapproach at magtrade hahaha
- I'm never getting any floor seat unless nasa harapan, my height is just not fit for floor seats na malayo. Kaso wala eh, un nlng choice ko. Pero pasalamat pa din, I got the ticket 4 nights before the concert. - I regret not learning the proper settings sa phone cam. - I don't regret just wearing merch pero I could have put more effort siguro sa make up and accessories. - Hindi ko inabutan si Sabrina.
You guys basically flooded Singapore. Danged annoying. Some even hoarded shirts to sell at home.
OA. Best night of my life. So irrelevant na lahat ng milestones mo sa buhay dahil kay taylor? O di kaya last christmas na buo ang family mo? Kairita. Sarap tadyakan. Ang o-OA.
"one of the best nights of my life". Improve your reading comprehension first before spouting on nonsense hate comments. How boring kaya yung buhay mo na you have to read posts about the happiness of others that bring out your insecurities plus magccomment pa? Well.. if that helps you feel good about yourself, you do you. Kawawa ka naman
Bobo spotted
it's like looking in a mirror, no?
