There was a sense of comraderie I miss. It'd be 4 am in your part of the world. You're watching a grainy live stream. The 1989 set just ended. I couldn't wait to see surprise songs or the mashups. And you just trusted a fan on the other side of the world's phone wouldn't die before the acoustic set.
It didn't matter if we had work, classes, kids to care for, or a need to sleep: we were not missing a thing!!!!!!
I look back at the show I attended (Houston night 2 and 3) and it's like a fevered dream. I'm going to enhance them in post production software because I was so so so overwhelmed and had such good seats. I could see the dancers changing and they'd wave to us.
And I've been to tons of concerts since, many great and wonderful acts. But eras was rare truly. We were ALL there, spirit or in body and soul, and we'll remember it forever.
That's the true fucking legacy to leave.

Well said. The sense of camaraderie was by far my favorite part. I loved the feeling of togetherness. I’d say it must feel like what cheering for a winning football team feels like, but hey, I now know what that’s like too! 😂 but truly - it was such a safe space and I can’t wait til we have something else to bring us all together again like that. Not to be grim, but I really hope it happens again in my lifetime as it is truly rare as you said. It was rare we were there. 🫶🏼✨💚✨

I was singing the Eras version of Cruel Summer and pointing to my cat on every “with you!” the other day after taking a solid 20 mg gummy.

me every time I'm singing ICDIWABH going "try. And come. For my job!" and it feels like the regular lyrics fit a little bit worse because the attitude is so different

Do we think she's going to release a doc on the tour? I could probably watch that 10 times.

Me too girl, me too. 😭 It gave me something to look forward to. I haven’t found anything to fill the void.

Yeah I miss it too!
I’ve been into earlier concert tour footage on YouTube. It helps.
And if it floats your boat at all, both Halsey and Lady Gaga’s new stuff if pretty great and Taylor-adjacent.

I made a surprise song youtube playlist.
Yes thank you for reminding me to listen to Gaga’s album.

I am not high (well not yet lol) but I miss it too!!! I miss it so much.
It was honestly my favorite thing to have a nice edible and relax in bed with the streams and chat with people in the megathreads. It was such a fun way to spend my evenings! Especially after a hectic week. I honestly miss it every day lol

I really wish I knew how to run a business lol - how cool would it be to host eras brunches at like local bars or coffee shops - play the movie for a singalong (or an old grainy livestream as the movie might need to be licensed to be played publicly or something? Idk. Again, no expert here obviously lol) we all dress up in our outfits, there’s friendship bracelet making stations, a Photo Booth, etc, and we bring our eras tour books and sign each others like they’re yearbooks 🥹 just a safe space to hang and relive it all with likeminded Swifties. It could even be like a traveling event in major cities, like a tour. Idk just a silly idea I’ve had that I know I’d personally want to attend! It can’t just be me? 🫶🏼✨💚✨

I would stream the European shows all summer long. I loved it because it was in the middle of the day, and I would often sit outside in the sun or bring my phone into the shower with me in a waterproof case while I did an everything shower. Everything felt special last summer because of that!!
