A delayed plane is never fun, and the soundscape of one can be grating.
And woe betide you if there's a fussy baby on board, or someone with a hacking cough.
Or, now, dozens of Taylor Swift fans?
On a flight from Denver to Salt Lake City recently, Swifties made joy—or hell, depending on your thoughts on Swift and impromptu acapella public singalongs in enclosed spaces—in the doldrums of a delayed flight.
They chose 'Love Story,' an oldie but a goodie, for their singalong, each filming from their own seat.

Folks were really impressed, actually.

Many expressed their wishes to also be on that plane.

Some were on other, lesser planes.

People not being on flights full of Swifties has an obvious solution.

There were those who like planes but not Swift, and those who like Swift but not planes. Both were interested in this unique combination.

Because in the video there are so many phones up, people were hoping to see different views of the event from different areas of the plane.

Some other views were expressed over on Twitter, where the video went viral for other reasons.
Overall, the split seemed to come down to platform. Over on TikTok, people were just excited about the unique brand of joy that Swifties bring to many occasions, including now delayed planes.
