Swifties are complaining about the “Eras Tour hangover” and I can’t take it anymore

Can the Swifties relax for a moment?

I’m not a Taylor Swift hater, in fact I enjoy a lot of her music. However, I do have a problem with the legion of chronic online fans who make it their life’s work to post endlessly about the greatness of their queen goddess.

Yes, a significant portion of these people are simply kids doing what kids do, but let’s be honest and admit that there are far too many grown people who proudly and loudly proclaim themselves to be badass, diehard Swifties. Honestly, most of it is pretty harmless, but occasionally I come across something in my feed that finally makes me understand my grandfather’s feelings when people started taking their car to the shop for a simple oil change.

I got a random PR email earlier today that contained some “research” about the Eras Tour Hangover and almost immediately forgot about it, but then I saw this X post that contained a snapshot of the email I also received and felt compelled to do a little research of my own.

It is reading:

“Over the past few months, several Swifties have taken to social media to complain of suffering from hangover-like symptoms since their Eras tour. These symptoms include exhaustion, muscle aches, sore throats, and headaches, with side effects lasting up to a few days after the concert. Some fans have even reported nausea and had to take several days off work to recover.

While these physical side effects are nothing to worry about, some fans have described the experience as the worst hangover of their lives, despite not having had a sip of alcohol all evening. Others have also compared the experience to the exhaustion after running a marathon.”

This has got to be a joke, right? I’m sure there were a lot of drunk people in the crowd and they should know that the reason for their hangover was the shot of 9. White Claw and 3. Pink Whitney on the tailgate.

But a quick online search actually reveals a whole series of posts in which people complain about the horrific experience of an Eras Tour hangover…

And there were many, many more of them…

You want to know the reason for your hangover after the Eras tour? I’ll tell you right here.

You surrendered your entire emotional well-being to a Taylor Swift concert. In the months, weeks, and days leading up to the show, you dreamed about how magical and life-changing it would be. You spent countless thousands of dollars on tickets, hotels, Ubers, drinks, food, and outfits, and then screamed for 3.5 hours straight. With each song, you elated yourself because “this was your moment” and she was playing these old songs “just for you.”

You’ve made a concert the biggest moment of your life, and now you’re faced with the realization that all you have left is a few pictures, blurry videos, and a lot less money, plus you still have to get your butt out of bed and go to work like a normal person.

Hangover from the Eras Tour? Give me a break. If you want a hangover, go to a Concert by Koe Wetzel and I guarantee you’ll beg to listen to “Our Song” and “New Romantics” again.

Swiftie’s fanbase is wondering, out loud, why so many people can’t stand her and then keep doing this sort of thing. Maybe you should try to calm down and live in reality for a while. I promise you that the day after a concert, you’ll be left with your usual alcohol-induced headache, not some confused life crisis that can only be solved by doing it all over again, this time for more money because you have to fly to a far-away city.

That came out meaner than I intended, I admit, but for goodness sake, guys, pull yourselves together.

Taylor Swift is great, but staying home from work for several days after attending a concert is absolutely unacceptable.

This world is getting crazier and crazier.
