Taylor's concerts are full of so much love and happiness -- it's the most euphoric state I've ever been in when sober. I swear.

My daughter and I attended the first Nashville show. I was 59yrs old at the time and we stood the whole time dancing. The energy is undescribable! She puts on a show like I had never seen. We were both exhausted by the end of her concert. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, my best suggestion.
Love you guys. Your podcast is great.

Make orange/black karma shirts
Friendship bracelets that say “Matchmaker” “Responsible”. lol
Your the reason she gave Travis a shot!!!

I saw a clip of a sold out crowd dancing & singing at the top of their lungs at the Eras tour & the caption said: wouldn't it be great for girls, women, and so many others to feel THIS SAFE & FREE every day? To not be judged & just be themselves? Let that sink in. The answer is EFFF YES.

I haven't seen TSwift live yet because I refuse to pay 3k for a show, but I've been to over 350 concerts. Cross-body bag to free up your hands. Little to no make-up - it will melt in the heat or with dancing. Hair will be likely put up after a bit- you must have a scrunchie. Comfortable shoes you can dance in, and comfortable clothing in general. Chapstick or something similar. For Taylor I would probably make at least 20 bracelets. I hope you have the time of your lives!

along with the friendship bracelets, draw a 13 on your hand

[JenniferAderhold]

Saw you both on Fallon! You rocked it!

Jimmy is like a long lost brother, it will be so fun!!!

When I was 12 years old, I told my mother that I was either going to have a husband or children because it's the same thing. I grew up watching my dad, my uncles with their wives and children, and it was just too much damn work. When i met my husband, it was great cause he didn't want children either. You have to do what is right for you. I LOVE other people's children ... play with them, help with their homework, buy their prom dresses ... give them back☺️

[dreamchaser]

When I grow up I want to be like you!! You are just so cool!💫Beautiful, charismatic, funny and supportive of other women!! ✨🙌🏼

Hi lovelies! I'm a 50 year old Swiftie who attended the Eras tour in Denver, Co last July and I'm coming atcha with some tips and hints. The first thing to know is that people will be wearing everything from a simple t-shirt and shorts to elaborate costumes. It's easy to get lost in what to wear but let me tell ya...the most important thing is to be comfortable. It will be hot. You will be doing a lot of walking. And to top it all off you will be standing and dancing for 3 1/2 hours. I chose to wear a cute cotton spaghetti strap sundress that had Swiftie words, phrases and pictures on it that I found online. I rarely wear shoes so I thought my feet would be sore if I tried to wear shoes so I wore a cozy pair of flip flops. I would avoid heals or any hard soled shoe. Just be comfortable and simple and of course bring tons of friendship bracelets. Be sure to hydrate all day because you'll be hot and sweaty and continue to sip throughout if you can. The concert usually starts on time but because of the heat and sun my girls and I chose to skip the opening acts. I think Taylor starts around 7:45 or something like that. Be sure to check your stadium policies on bags/purses and items you can and can't bring in as each venue is different. Ya'll were talking about a parking pass. I always take an Uber or something when attending concerts because I find it easier but if you want to drive there buy a parking pass ASAP because they sell out as quickly as the concert tickets. Take public transportation if you can. I don't know what it's like over seas but most of the vendors in Denver only took debit/credit cards. I think those are my biggest tips and tricks. The most important thing is to be COMFORTABLE so you can enjoy the concert. All of that said, I must tell you I have major jealousy that ya'll get to ses TTPD set! You're lucky! Have fun gals! Looking forward to hearing about your experience!

[JaneAusten]

Yes, more cities!!! 🙌🏻 You ladies are the best!

[edieking]

You need to wear a Chiefs jersey, Kelces number, front says Chief Matchmaker, back Kelce/Swift. And a sparkling bottom.

[kookiekimmy]

How lucky you are going to the Eras tour, just wear what is comfortable. You girls will look great no matter what you wear.

[lisaechols]

Please come to Atlanta to do your improv! Loved it! I have a son that lives in LA, but I’m usually only there once a year. Unless you can schedule like a few months in advance! Love you guys! Have fun at the Eras tour!! The UK is awesome, but you never exactly know what the weather will be, make sure to take a raincoat, possibly a sweater. Sometimes it’ll surprise you and be cold!!

[tayawyss]

I never wanted kids. Now I'm 46, and every day I think to myself how grateful I am that I didn't cave into societal pressure. I love my pups and my freedom. you know yourself better than anyone else. Also, wear more bracelets to the concert than you think you need. Someone may give you bracelet that you don't want to trade so you want to have plenty of "giveaway" bracelets that you don't care about. The ones I loved the most went into my purse. We traded so many of them!!! "In my monologue" was my favorite bracelet! LOL

[Heatlifer]

Oh in the words of Taylor “Jet Lag is a choice”

[MarkBarone-jg]

They do so much. But this is the most personal. And it’s the best. I’m sure everyone agrees…everybody agrees, everybody agreeeesss!

[vidsorama]

Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because you will be standing (and dancing) for hours. It may be tempting to wear "cute" shoes but make sure that you can be in them for hours. Wear clothes that are comfortable also.

[Artisian]

Fearless outfits. Gold fringe of course. Most of all, friendship bracelets.
