After two months of rest and practice to prepare for the next leg, The Eras Tour with Taylor Swift has returned with many sold-out shows in Europe. However, the harsh weather, the organization situation, and the unsightly images suddenly made this tour inexplicably unstable.

A newborn baby lies alone on the ground during a show in Paris

On the evening of May 10 (local time), an audience participating in the Eras Tour show at La Défense Arena posted on his personal page a photo of a baby sleeping on the floor in the standing area of the show. In the photo, there is a person standing next to the child, but it is unclear if it is a parent or guardian, but the baby appears to be wearing noise protection.

Pictures of the baby at Taylor’s concert were passed around by fans

The owner of the post did not reveal when the photo was taken during the night, before or after the performance. However, the photo quickly attracted the attention of many netizens, with 1.7 million views before being deleted, making everyone angry.

One netizen commented: “As the mother of a baby of the same age, I don’t dare bring them to a music show. I also know that it is difficult to find a babysitter to help, but if you must bring your child, you should not put the baby in the middle of the floor like that. You should have a carrier and the baby needs ear protection.”

On May 12, this account wrote on its personal page: “That’s not my photo so I’m not sure.” Representatives of Taylor Swift and La Défense Arena have not responded to the incident. Meanwhile, on the official website, La Défense Arena has released instructions specifically for Taylor’s concerts from May 9-12, including many notes such as regulations on bags and prohibited items. , also wrote: “It is not recommended to bring children under 4 years old, even if accompanied, due to the large number of participants.”

Currently, no one knows the whereabouts of the baby or the real situation behind the photo. Netizens also speculate and expect an answer from Taylor and representatives of The Eras Tour.

Fans were angry at BTC and the hot weather, breaking down the fence to enter the stadium in Lisbon

Ending the journey in Paris (France), Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour moved to Lisbon city on May 24 with two nights of closed shows. However, the first concert in Portugal did not have a smooth start when fans had to wait an hour longer than expected in hot weather to enter the Estádio da Luz stadium.

Fans in Lisbon had to wait in the hot sun

According to the announcement, the gate opens to spectators with valid tickets at 4:00 p.m. However, when they arrived at the stadium, fans learned they could not go inside until 4:45 p.m. This delay angered people who had been queuing for a long time. Some people even shouted directly at the security staff: “Let us in.”

The situation then became even more difficult to control when 200 spectators broke through the fence, passed the security gate and entered the stadium in the terror of the security team.

“There were a lot of people pushing against the crowd. They broke down the fence. There were only two security guards outside, so security forces had difficulty dealing with rowdy fans. I don’t know why there was a delay, but I had to wait for VIP guests to get inside, while other fans were forced to wait,” the security guard recounted. In addition, there is also information that fans are angry because of the hot weather. The harshness in Lisbon also makes fans more prone to angry outbursts than usual.

Security rules have a strict rule that no water is allowed into the yard. However, due to fans having to wait for a long time in the heat, the organizers had to make a last-minute change, allowing drinking water to be brought into the covered stadium.

Previously, a similar case happened when the tour stopped in Rio de Janeiro. A young fan passed away from exhaustion, heatstroke and dehydration amid the extreme heat during the show, causing Taylor Swift to collapse.

The organizers issued a rule that they were not allowed to bring water into the stadium, causing many spectators to faint and vomit because the stadium was too hot. Taylor Swift also sweated profusely, she even paused her performance to give water to fans. Firefighters also had to be present to help get the victims out.

Taylor Swift will continue to tour in Europe until the end of August 2024 before returning to North America. During that time, fans were still anxiously waiting to see what other disasters could happen to The Eras Tour with Taylor Swift when the weather was still hot and the organization situation was still unstable in many places.
