Louise Thompson was invited to a recent Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert. The British TV personality, best known for starring in the reality show Made in Chelsea, attended the final concert of Eras tour in Europe. She posted her thoughts regarding the same on August 22, 2024, via a post on her official Instagram, stating,
"Controversial statement - I am NOT a swifty ‼️ However, I was invited to be a swifty for one night, and one night only (the final night of her European eras tour I might add) and I found myself unable to say no. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. "
Louise Thompson continued:
"I couldn’t miss out on the spectacle that has been branded ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE across social media over the entire Summer! I guess it felt like a hot ticket to one of the biggest parties of the year?"
Louise Thompson wrapped up her comments with a list of things she liked at the concert. However, the opening part of the statement has split the internet into two, with some fans taking umbrage at Louise Thompson's statement,
"sorry but you just sound so entitled & ungrateful like it was a chore to have to go to a concert so many could only dream about," one netizen commented on the post
"Sick of the amount of influencers on here being gifted tickets and feeling “forced” to go. Just give them up to any of the 100,000 people who would’ve loved to have gone. Charity, sick kids I don’t know! It’s sickening," reacted another netizen.
"I’m a fan and found it really sad that so many celebs and influencers were invited by brands when they are not fans. Imagine all the people that wanted to go and didn’t have the opportunity or money. Sorry but this post is very entitled." one commentor reacted.
Others were more positive in their response, like the comments quoted below,
"The world has gone mad that you’re getting hate for this. Pleased to hear you enjoyed it! I myself once went to Disney on ice with my partner after getting free tickets, not a huge Disney fan but enjoyed it nonetheless. Shame on me for not giving my ticket away," stated one netizen.
"Not a Swiftie either. I admire her work ethic and the good she does in the world I am just not a fan of her music. And that is totally ok! She has lots of fans," another commentor stated.
"Everything pisses off snowflake generation. Guess what? You don’t have to be a fan to attend a show," another person added.
