Taylor Swift's concert was too long – even the hardcore Swifties grew restless


It's no surprise that Taylor Swift has been playing to sold-out stadiums across the UK on her Eras Tour.

From Edinburgh to Liverpool and London, she's been wowing Swifties with her performances - and you can barely log on to any social media platform without being inundated with clips of her performances.

While most people would do anything to see their favorite artist perform for three-and-a-half hours, some have felt as though Taylor's show was excessively long, claiming that even "hardened Swifties" were getting a little restless.

Taking to social media this morning (Monday, June 24), one woman wrote: "Did anyone enjoy Taylor but felt at 3.5 hours it...dragged a little?" She went on to explain she is not Taylor's "biggest fan," and it was a "fluke" that she managed to bag tickets to go with her pals.


"I enjoy her music and think she's amazing but a dedicated Swiftie…I am not," she wrote, going on to share that she thought the show should've been "30 minutes shorter" as it would've made it "more enjoyable."

"Even amongst the hardened Swifties around us, I sensed a little restlessness," she claimed, asking whether others felt the same. Others disagreed though, saying that they loved the show and suggesting it was better than being at a concert where the artist does "40 minutes then buggers off."

One wrote: "We were there last night. Couldn't see anyone flagging and there was enough energy to make Wembley shake with the surprise songs. Only Taylor can pull off a 3-hour show like that." Another pointed out: "Springsteen used to do five-hour gigs."

Someone else was fuming at the woman complaining. They said: "Stop gloating on here and think of what you've just witnessed. So many people were desperate to see her and have your experience and you sound thoroughly ungrateful." Another Taylor fan defended the show, sharing: "Nope. There was no flagging around us and definitely a sense of wishing it would go on longer."
NEXT: Man's lesson on unwritten urinal rules leaves women 'shocked and confused'
Women have been left 'shocked and confused' after a man's explanation of urinal etiquette to his partner went viral. For those who usually sit down for their bathroom breaks, the concept of urinals can be quite puzzling. One man decided to clear things up for his partner by explaining the unwritten rules of using a urinal. In a conversation with his partner Courtney, social media influencer Alex Quist drew a diagram of five urinals and posed a question: "Only three stalls can be chosen. Do you know which three?" Courtney, a bit hesitant, guessed the left, middle, and right ones. Alex confirmed: "That's right, these are the only three you can pick if you're one of the first people in there. You don't want to be shoulder to shoulder with anybody. You always choose the end ones." But urinal etiquette is even more nuanced than that. For instance, if someone "breaks the rule" by choosing the spot between the end and the middle one, despite the rest being free, the next person has to pick the farthest one available, disrupting the whole system. Alex then emphasized the "main rule"—never engage in chit-chat with anyone at a urinal. "You look at the wall and take care of your business," he instructed. A puzzled Courtney then asked what the protocol would be if four people needed to use the facilities. Alex explained that if the three appropriate urinals are occupied, you have two choices: either "suck it up" and stand "shoulder to shoulder" with another person or opt for a stall. However, one particular 'rule' about urinal etiquette left Courtney utterly perplexed. Her husband's advice was that when using a stall, it's "always good practice to keep the stall open while you pee" to make it feel more like a urinal experience. Courtney was naturally baffled by this so-called 'rule', which she deemed unnecessary. Yet, according to Alex, there's no need to close it "if you're standing up." It seems Courtney wasn't alone in her confusion over these toilet tactics.
