Dr Michelle Phillips, lecturer in music psychology, assures her fans that post-concert amnesia is not as worrying as it sounds.

She tells BBC News that it is unlikely that fans would have no memory of attending a concert at all, suggesting that these moments are likely to be cherished memories.

Dr. Phillips attributes this memory loss to the overwhelming excitement and immersion that fans experience at such events.

Why some fans can’t remember Taylor Swift shows.

Dr. Punit Shah, a psychologist at the University of Bath, adds another layer to the explanation: He points out that emotional reactions can either strengthen or weaken memories.

For some people, the emotional intensity of a concert may prevent the formation of a lasting memory (a concept known as “flashbulb memory”).

Neuroscientist Dr. Dean Burnett compares the concert experience to experiencing an intense collective emotional state, similar to an “angry mob.”

He explains to MailOnline that in such cases, those affected lose their self-esteem and their memories can become blurred.
