“What are social services doing?”, the photo of a baby on the ground shocks Internet users

Now accustomed to records, Taylor Swift continues to line up new ones in 2024. After receiving a trophy for his record Midnights from the hands of Celine Dion at the Grammy Awards at the beginning of February, the artist, now 34 years old, returned to concert halls for her event tour The Eras Tour which totals more than 2.4 million tickets sold worldwide. Taylor Swift performed several times in North America last year, then flew to Asia and kicked off the leg European in Paris on May 9. More precisely, it is in the largest indoor hall in Europe that Taylor Swift performed four evenings in a row, for more than three hours each time.

The interpreter of Shake It Off has delighted his many admirers with La Defense Arena until Sunday May 12, performing live most of his hits including Cruel Summer, love story, Style Or I Knew You Were Troubleas well as several tracks from his new opus The Tortured Poets Department published last month and immediately numbered in sales in France, it goes without saying… Its Olympic performance was also praised by the press and laudatory comments multiplied on social networks. But a photo widely shared and commented on at the same time provokes controversy.

Child’s parents severely criticized

For several hours, a photo of a very young child has shocked Internet users, as noted by our British colleagues from Daily Mail. In it, we see him equipped with hearing aids, installed on his back, next to a plastic bag stamped “Taylor Swift” and most likely containing several items purchased at the merchandising stand. We are very much offended by this on X (ex-Twitter)! “I don’t want to be one of those people, but I would definitely call security if I saw a baby in the pit because it does NOT look safe”we can read, among other things, while the death of a fan in the middle of a show in Brazil had already created controversy last year.

The reactions are unanimous: this baby should never have been present for this concert. It must be said that many of the spectators testified to the very trying moment they had experienced given the duration of the concert, for those standing in the pit in particular. “I knew Swifties were a little weird, but this is beyond anything. At what point do you decide to take your baby to a Taylor Swift concert and then put it on the floor in the pit ?”they say, “Why take this risk?” or “Those who would rather put their baby on the ground, right in the middle of the pit than miss a Taylor Swift concert? What are social services doing?!” And “Shocked”. The image has already gone around the world and even in the United States the damning comments are multiplying.

Taylor Swift’s companion in the stands

In a much lighter register, our colleagues from Parisian reveal that the companion of the pop star was present to attend the last concert on Sunday May 12. “The smartest ones quickly spotted Travis KelceTaylor Swift’s new darling”we explain, while recalling that he is an American footballer and member of the Kansas City Chiefs who once again won the Super Bowl earlier this year. “White shirt, smile from ear to ear, the big guy doesn’t miss a beat of his lover’s show”we underline, while stipulating that other personalities were in the VIP area of ​​La Défense Arena that evening, such as the actor Bradley Cooper.

After a visit to Sweden, Spain and Portugal, Taylor Swift will return to France for two new performances, in Lyon on June 2 and 3, at Groupama Stadium. The temperature is likely to rise another notch!
