It's so hard to tell from those seating charts just how side view those sections are gonna be, especially with that venue having no seats properly behind. Where are you for London?I'm going to read the previous thread as well but here is what I want to say right now.
1. You all probably know I am not TTPD's number one fan but the set BANGS. I honestly can't pinpoint my favourite song off it, its bulletproof. I loved that skit before Broken Heart. Singing WHO'S AFRAID... OF LITTLE OLD ME and the Smallest Man bridge is exactly as good as you think it is.
2. All Too Well 10 and Don't Blame Me are worth admission alone. My favourite sets overall were either Red or TTPD. Or 1989. Or rep.
2.5. Midnights set is honestly kind of a snoozer and I left before Mastermind (and the Metro was still rammed, unfortunately. I might ditch Midnights altogether in August) I love the album but it's hard going after such a long gig. I hate to say but the everlore set is better for being shortened too and I still think it was a bit long
3. I had a restricted view so I couldn't see the back of the stage or the backdrop but it was still good! I mostly watched Taylor perform on the diamond. The venue was like the o2 at London for comparison.
4. Interesting you say that the crowd seemed subdued @QueenBW because I thought the same. I am a reserved person and don't like making a scene, and I've been to concerts with friends who jump and scream and it just ain't me LOL. But that being said I was still CARRYING my section and I'm not the loudest person in the world. It was a bit weird! I was the only one did the "1,2,3,4" part in Broken Heart (I thought we'd all be doing that) and I was just about caterwauling through Smallest Man and Paris but apparently the actual Parisians weren't feeling it that much. Even Cruel Summer was quiet! Might've just been my restricted view section? There was no daft screaming along like you've seen on TikTok though which is a positive. My voice is gone though, I can tell.
5. There weren't many dazzling outfits TBH, most people were dressed casually like I was. You won't get dirty looks for being comfortable.
6. I recommend sitting down during the gaps between Eras if you have a seat.
7. The merch lines were STUPID long before the concert. I went after I bounced when Bejewelled ended and I was the only person there.
8. Since I saw Paris in Paris I am never allowed to complain again.
It was great gig. I think the everlore and Midnights sets stop it from being perfect but when it's good, it's really fuckin' good.
Do you think the subdued crowd, lack of dazzling outfits and tickets generally being cheaper than elsewhere, (even weeks ago and for a smaller venue) was due to her maybe not being as popular in France?
A lot of people were sitting down for Midnights (but they hadn't been sitting in between sets like my genius self)
I still need to shower and wash my hair 
but I am messaging people and tattling instead, naturally.
