According to @wildjoy13, “Florida is more than just the next stop on The Eras Tour. People LIVE here. I’m sick of worry. My dogs are shaking. My awning could be damaged ?And we haven’t had the worst of it PLEASE let us weather this storm before you start worrying about the concert.”
some people on this app are really inconsiderate. midway through the miami era tour was canceled by chat and gracie’s show was rescheduled. You guys have shown that you really don’t care about ANYONE but yourselves and that’s not okay

A Swiftie from Tampa, eagerly awaiting next week’s concert, stepped up to address the concerns of her fellow fans.
@swiftsdiehard said, “Tampa residents have tickets to the miami eras tour here. My city is about to be completely destroyed, we have no choice but to evacuate and we have lost EVERYTHING THING during hurricane helene last week. The eras tour was the last thing on my mind and you should prioritize the safety of the fans.”
Swifties are also receiving criticism for prioritizing concert concerns over more pressing issues of life and safety.
“Miami is nowhere near the path of that storm and Florida natives are now worried about losing their homes. Please shut up about the era tour you’re flying in 2 weeks,” @sulliontour added.
IN FACT, the Miami trip shouldn’t even be part of the conversation. A level 5 storm is making landfall. People can literally lose everything they have. that is what we should be worried about and make sure we support and help those affected. not a concert

They don’t say that’s more important than the possible destruction. but they had been looking forward to this for months. it was the trip of a lifetime. & they spent a lot… pic.twitter.com/BKuNZT8S6k
