I avoided every Eras Tour Video then got floor seats — here’s how it went.

If there were any show to have a social media blackout for, this was it. I’ve been a fan of Taylor Swift for over a decade, and it’s been an utter joy seeing her grow up as I did. It feels as though her music has grown with me, soundtracking different phases of my life. On August 8, I went to see Swift perform at what is being hailed as her greatest moment to date — her career spanning Eras Tour.

Nearly half a million fans had sold out Taylor Swift’s whopping six dates at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. The only problem? Because it was such a huge show, there were videos everywhere. Friends of mine who’d never had any interest in Swift were being bombarded with videos, and suddenly knew every detail of her tour against their will.
