Several Swifties have reported amnesia after attending the 'Eras Tour'—and it could be a result of the body misinterpreting excitement for stress.

Two months into her widely anticipated and celebrated ERAS tour, Taylor Swift's fans are slowly coming together in realizing an odd event happened in the wake of attending the concert.

They've forgotten it.

This 'post-concert amnesia' is being talked about on various social media platforms, with fans coming forward to share their feelings—often guilt—that they don't seem to have clear memories of attending the concert some of them forked over thousands of dollars to attend.

This amnesia isn't uncommon in the wake of highly emotionally-charged events says Evan McNay, an associate professor of psychology at the State University of New York.

The jumping up and down, dancing movements and super-charged emotions can sometimes signal to the body and brain that either they are at a Taylor Swift concert—or they have just escaped getting eaten by a tiger.

In this way, the amnesia is the brain's way of erasing what it thinks was a traumatic event, but in this case it wasn't traumatic.

It was a Taylor Swift concert.

Many people were relieved to know it wasn't just them.

It's all the sensory overload.

Many people talked about how it's because they were living in the moment.


Others attributed the amnesia to the high emotional state that Swift's concerts create.


Several people concurred and said they only remember half of any concerts they go to, including Swift's.


However, there were those who were incredulous about these claims.

And then, someone brought up the elephant in the mental-capacity room: Covid.

Swift's ERAS tour will continue through early August.

An Official Courtroom Sketch Of Luigi Mangione Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

Before cameras, courtroom sketch artists served a purpose. Even now, a sketch artist can provide visuals to accompany reporting of trials when no other form of recording during court sessions is allowed.

The artists try to stay close to what the defendant, witnesses, and everyone else look like, but they can sometime veer into the caricature, as Luigi Mangione has found during his heavily publicized court appearances.

Roseanne Gets Brutal Reminder After Trying To Compare Her Firing To Jimmy Kimmel Suspension

Comedian-turned-MAGA conspiracy theorist Roseanne Barr was reminded of the circumstances behind her now-infamous firing from the reboot of her classic sitcom Roseanne after she compared her exit to ABC's suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after President Donald Trump saw an opening to get him off the air following comments Kimmel made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

Yesterday, ABC said it was suspending Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” after conservatives charged the longtime host with misrepresenting the politics of the man accused of killing Kirk.

Karoline Leavitt Dragged After Sharing Religious Theory About Earthquake After Charlie Kirk's Murder

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was criticized for sharing a theory on her Instagram story that an earthquake in Utah after the murder of far-right activist Charlie Kirk is proof that "God is angry."

A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck the Uinta Basin, just west of Vernal, at about 5:57 p.m. Central Time on September 10—the day Kirk was assassinated—with a depth of 42 miles. In biblical numerology, 40 is associated with trials and 41 with change.
