A startling image from Taylor Swift’s concert in Paris has stirred up a storm on social media. The picture, showing a baby on the floor amidst the standing crowd at La Défense Arena, has been reshared extensively on X, amassing over 1.7 million views. The snapshot, capturing a child on what seems to be a feathered item, with a figure looming over, has sparked a wave of concern for the infant’s well-being.
The exact moment the photo was taken remains unclear, as does whether the concert had started. In the picture, the baby appears to be equipped with ear protection amid the bustling audience.
The accompanying caption read: ‘Not to be one of those people but I would genuinely call security if I saw a baby in the pit because it is NOT safe there.’
The incident has provoked a strong reaction, with many voicing their dismay on X, the platform previously known as Twitter. The comments reflect a mix of incredulity and worry:
‘As a mom of a baby that’s about this size, i couldn’t imagine being them into a concert at all.’
‘I understand sitters are hard to find, so if you really needed to bring them, you shouldn’t be in the pit. you should have a carrier for them, and the baby needs ear protection.’
‘What in the actual… why. Just why. Why would you risk that? How were they even allowed to enter the pit area with the baby in the first place.’
‘How could they even think that bringing a baby in these kind of events is a good idea wth’
‘Can’t imagine how stressful it must have been for the baby to be in that environment’
‘Why would security let them in the first place? A concert is no place for a baby’
Amidst the uproar, Taylor Swift, during her second performance in Paris, shared insights into the creation of The Tortured Poets Department segment for her Eras Tour. She revealed to her audience:
‘We started planning this surprise for you about eight or nine months ago and then when we got “two months off” of the Eras Tour, we really didn’t take any time off at all.’
‘We just went directly back into rehearsals. So I’d like to give it up for my crew, my dancers, and my band,’ she expressed, acknowledging her team’s dedication.
Swift’s return to the European stage was marked by fresh outfits and a vibrant show, further cementing her status as an international sensation. Fans were ecstatic, celebrating the star’s dynamic presence and performance.
