Here's why you might be 'down bad' after Taylor Swift's Eras Tour
CBC
"Taylor Swift, let me go to another show, please," says a sobbing fan in a TikTok video after attending one of Swift's widely popular Eras Tour shows.
All you have to do is search, "Taylor Swift post-concert sadness" to find dozens of similar videos.
Many fans have posted videos of themselves looking sad and standing inside of a stadium with a slow Swift song in the background and a caption that usually reads something like, "When the concert you've been waiting for forever is finally over."
Swift is currently in Toronto and will be playing her second last show on Friday night at the Rogers Centre. Her five-continent tour began in March 2023 and wraps up in Vancouver next month.
While there's an extreme surge of happiness for many fans who scored tickets to the concert of a lifetime, for some there's an intense sadness when it's over.
Christa Realba is navigating a lot of feelings days after the show.
"I just want to be there again," said the Amherstburg, Ont., woman.
After 18 months of searching for tickets, Realba and her eight-year-old niece snagged seats just minutes before Swift took to the stage for her opening show in Toronto last week.
It was a whirlwind of an experience for Realba, who says being inside the stadium is such an intense high that she's still processing everything she experienced.
Swiftie Abby Head, who lives in the Detroit area and went to see the Eras Tour at Ford Field last June, says she was especially in her feels after the "once in a lifetime" concert.
"The show was phenomenal. Then after we're like, 'now what?' We're sad it's over," she said.
Head also went to one of the recent Toronto shows and told CBC News in a Facebook message nearly one week later that she's "deep in the post-Eras Tour blues. It was one of the best nights of my life."
Why are some fans feeling this way? And how can they recover after the show?
