Taylor Swift Fans in Argentina Have Camped Out in Tents for Five Months in Order to Be Front Row at the Eras Tour: ‘People Are Very Upset With Us’
Variety ^ | 11/2/2023 | Zack Sharf

Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour dominated the U.S. in the spring and summer, and the movie version became the highest-grossing concert film of all time this fall with over $200 million at the worldwide box office. Now the tour is getting ready to kick back off in real life as Swift performs three concerts in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Nov. 9, 10 and 11. Some diehard Swift fans with general admission tickets have taken their love for the Grammy winner to a whole new level by camping out in tents near the Estadio River Plate stadium in hopes of securing spots as close to the stage as possible (via Pitchfork). The camping started in June.

“We’ve been in this tent for five months,” a 21-year-old Swiftie told Pitchfork on the condition of anonymity so that her father doesn’t find out. “I usually tell my dad I’m at a park drinking mate with somebody, or visiting a friend of mine who lives near the stadium.”

According to Pitchfork, fans have been “occupying four tents outside the stadium, taking turns in carefully planned rotations. … An internal spreadsheet, created by two organizers and updated by assigned administrators, keeps track of around 60 folks per tent. Most of them are young women, but no one under 18 is allowed. Based on a ranking system gathering everybody’s total time, the longer you’ve been in a tent, the higher the chances of being one of the first in line.”

(snip)

Per the publication: “Sleepovers are now mandatory at least once a month, alongside a minimum of 60 monthly hours, to maintain one’s spot.”

What are the Kansas City Chiefs gonna do with Swift on tour out of the country?

They went 4-0 for every game she attended. She missed last week's game in Denver and they lost.

LOL

I wouldn’t go if I were given seats for free. I honestly don’t think she is that talented.

Their relationship is totally fake. Hollywood has a long history of arranged marriages and relationships done for purely PR purposes.

The world is falling apart and they sit and wait for some manufactured bimbo to appear. It is laughable.

I think Swift is looking for a baby daddy. She'll be 34 next month. Her clock is ticking.

Travis Kelce is her first boyfriend who isn't a scrawny actor, musician, or DJ. She's thinking about genetics.

Why be angry about her good fortune? She’s making tons of money and hiring lots of people to support her tour. Y’all sound like that black guy who stormed on stage during her acceptance speech.
