October 14, 20231 yr The audience was livelier than most concerts I've been to. Most people were on their feet after 20 mins.
October 15, 20231 yr Author I've been doing a lot of reading about people's experiences and watching some clips that come up. I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to see the movie, but you know I will eventually!
October 15, 20231 yr This was amazing. Really well shot and sound mixed perfectly. I cannot WAIT to experience the show for myself next year! AAAHHHH. She has such a presence and an aura! Brilliant. I have setlist song choice issues ('the 1' over 'cardigan'? U WOT??????!) I probably could've done without All Too Well being the 10 minute version and would rather have them give us another 'Speak Now' track. Gross that we only got 'Enchanted'! I was hoping for 'Long Live' - but it made sense with that being the end credits song. Then all the other song choices were more down to preferred taste & her just doing my least faves from those albums etc.. - although I completely understand why they were chosen over my faves etc..
October 21, 20231 yr Just saw this, in Cineworld, so I guess they must have got a deal in the end to show it. SO good, absolutely love the Eras element, to me it was like seeing nine mini concerts (although the debut was only represented in the acoustic section and didn't have its own visuals etc, I'd have liked to have seen Teardrops On My Guitar at least as that's the first song I ever heard and loved by Taylor all those years ago). Thought there'd be more of a section for Speak Now too seeing as it's a fan favourite, but Enchanted went down extremely well in the screening I was in. All Too Well <3 My favourite part of the whole show I think, listening to that is always the quickest 10 minutes ever. She looked so good in every era, the staging was amazing, loved the hut for the Folklore era, the big popstar look for Red/1989/Midnights, and love the coloured microphones for each era, every detail was on point of course.
October 21, 20231 yr I also saw it in Cineworld today! 10 minutes of 'All Too Well' was the moment of the show for me too, even if quite a few others took the time to use it as a bathroom break :kink: that seemed to be the case during the folklore and evermore sections as well, less patience for back-to-back slower songs it seems :lol: My biggest wish would have been better folklore representation (happy we did get 'august' though and did really appreciate the staging) and a bit more Speak Now, but otherwise was quite happy with song selection - the 1989 and Reputation sections really went off in particular, even without my favourite from each of those albums present ('Out Of The Woods' and 'Getaway Car'). SO excited to see her live for the first time next year!
October 21, 20231 yr Yes, I saw a lot of people rush to the toilet as soon as All Too Well started too. I so enjoyed the Evermore and Folklore sections personally, visually they were such a treat, although I'd have loved to have seen No Body, No Crime. It's funny though and not a complaint at all - I loved the Red era a lot when it was happening but to me the singles from that somehow felt like the most dated part of the whole show. 22 feels so far removed from Taylor's modern stuff, even moreso than the Fearless section somehow, and that dubstep breakdown in I Knew You Were Trouble I suppose will always be extremely of its time. I enjoyed them a lot still but I think I'd have personally swapped out 22 for one of the highlight album tracks. And yes, quite weird how quickly glazed over Speak Now was. But minor gripes, the whole thing was insanely good. I wish I could get tickets for next year gah :drama: Edited October 21, 20231 yr by gooddelta
October 21, 20231 yr I think ‘Midnights’ & ‘folklore’ were the weakest sections for me! I think they could have chosen better songs for those sections. Not having ‘cardigan’ was a major miss for me from that section. I’d have much rather we got that over the 1 :zzz: I do wish we got the full version of illicit affairs! I think the ‘Midnights’ section was only weak for me coz all of them bar Anti-Hero & Mastermind are bottom half of the album for me, however Vigilante Shit was an absolute HIGHLIGHT of the show so I’m not mad at that one! I get the criticisms of the ‘RED’ era but 22…….. was an absolute MOMENT. It’s such a great pop song!
October 22, 20231 yr Decided not to see this. Holding out for the main event next year was this very different / same as the live event? Maybe I'm being thick asking this question!
October 22, 20231 yr I enjoyed the Midnights section but would have finished on Anti-Hero. A few people left the cinema before the last couple of songs!
October 22, 20231 yr I definitely wanted and thought we'd get the 'Long Live' performances due to the connection that song has in regards to her band and the fans for 'Speak Now' (and down to the fact that there was just one song for that album...) I did love this though. Such a great and epic concert. I can't wait to experience it for myself in August! :wub:
November 4, 20231 yr Watched this today bitter sweet , really enjoyed it (even if noone else seemed to move and was bopping like a mad man) made me even more gutted not going to the actual tour :snif: :snif:
November 16, 20231 yr Author Did anyone get any of the popcorn buckets, cups, or any other movie merch?
