Live music can be an emotional experience for everyone involved. I'm not ashamed to say that I've felt overwhelmed at some concerts that I have attended and even shed a tear or two. However, there is a difference between expressing emotion about the art that you love and being a massive inconvenience to everyone around you.

Unfortunately, not everyone understands that—in particular a certain subsection of Swifties. Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has had its fair share of viral moments recently for fans having outsized reactions to her performances, but this latest example is perhaps the most egregious of all. 

When a video was shared of a preteen screaming their lungs out in the audience of one concert, people on the internet didn't hold back in expressing their disapproval. At some point, we have to realize that other people have paid to enjoy the spectacle as well. They want to hear the music.

    Kristen S @perfectlyfine89 Follow Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion, but there is absolutely NO reason to act like you're having an exorcism at a Taylor Swift concert. Singing along and the occasional screaming is cool, but this?! I'd actually cry if someone was SCREECHING next to me the entire concert

    Kristens @perfectlyfine89.3d Yeah see I'm all cool with that for the screaming for some of your fav songs but what about the 50 people around you who also paid to hear TAYLOR sing

    RuthieRedSox @RuthieRedSox .3d Replying to @perfectlyfine89 I had a screecher next to me in KC and I had right ear issues for a week after the show. It was brutal. I usually bring foamies with me but since I was in the nosebleeds I didn't think I needed them. Never forgetting again

    @LoverbugKayla 3d KAYLA Replying to @perfectlyfine89 A group of girls behind me acted like this the night 1989 tv was announced. There's a high debate of how people can act at shows because they spent their money on tickets but I don't know why all of a sudden self awareness and respect is thrown out the door.

    Colleen TS @_swiftielikeme_ (Taylo... Follow Replying to @perfectlyfine89 That is not okay. I would legit go ask for them to be moved or to move me. I took my daughter to 4 shows, but if she acted like that I would have corrected her. I am all for screaming at the right times and singing my heart out, but that screeching is disrespectful to everyone.

    music struggles... @musicstruggles1 yeah at this point it's antisocial behaviour and the parent/guardian who's accompanied the child to the show should be gently correcting them Subscribe
