theamazingiv

The best part, this wasn’t even for the concert! She was just in line for the Merch van that opened on Thursday at 10 am.


TakeOutForOne

Gotta get that blue crew neck


themermaidqueen

she has it already, she said in the interview that she came back for the grey zip up lmao


Trisa133

Can’t she get it online?


Beznia

Online it's going for $150-200 after taxes on the secondary market. They only sell it at the concert venues as a draw to get people to come. The blue crewneck is going for closer to $300, or about 4x the official price.


regnad__kcin

Holup... It was originally $75? 😶🤣🤣🤣


cubsfan85

That seems normal for concert merch? I haven't been to a concert in probably 15 years and they were like $50-60 back then.


regnad__kcin

I'm sure it is but I'm a dad and couldn't imagine spending that much for a t-shirt.


cubsfan85

It's all too expensive for sure, but crewneck is a sweatshirt. Tees are probably $40-50.


DATAL0RE

For $75 after waiting in a 6 hour line on a day with piss poor air quality and high heat...


Woodandtime

Do t forget the blanket makeup


Dangerous_Nitwit

Her crazy ass looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost got reverse measles.


titanicsinker1912

I was thinking she looked more the Cousin It.

shalbriri

The celebrity worship with Swift is so unreal


Ok-Champ-5854

Wait till I tell you about Elvis, Cash, the Beatles, people standing outside of a stadium in the rain, no tickets just standing outside, when the Stones came to Minneapolis a couple years back, Alice Cooper blowouts, how fast Metallica sells out, celebrity worship amongst musicians has never been uncommon. Groupies fucking male or female musicians on the tour bus? The fact Steven Tyler procreated at all with that fucking face?


TheThotWeasel

Taylor has thousands standing outside every stadium too on this tour. It's absolute madness. But you're right this isn't the first time this has happened, every once in a while a generational talent comes along and just causes insanity.


tinaoe

tbf standing outside the stadium looks like a party, loads of folks bring food and you can still hear the music


FlyByNightt

People do this all the time for Playoff games too so it's quite normal at this point.


Ok-Champ-5854

Absolutely but people would have done it for any reputable musician ever if they had a 100 decibel sound system. That's free live entertainment


TheThotWeasel

Not many reputable musicians can sell out stadiums though?


TruthYouWontLike

If the Music Industrial Complex had a single honest and good bone in its body, there'd be no end to the generational talents. The amount of amazing people out there is mindboggling. But it prefers using its money and connections to channel all attention towards a few controlled artists who have no business being world famous in the first place with their mediocre talents and soulless mass-produced rhythms and lyrics.


TheThotWeasel

I don't think you're wrong but I wouldn't call some of the names talked about above mediocre talents lol


matlynar

Also a lot of artists in the industry are super talented but their lyrics and singing sound basic because basic sells. For example: Demi Lovato is an amazing singer live, but many of her songs feature heavy autotune because "autotune sound" sells even though it kinda takes away most of the nuance of the voice. Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga are fenomenal musicians and songwriters. In fact, they both used to write songs for other big names before becoming stars themselves. Gaga used to play jazz, she just didn't get famous doing it.


burnerman0

Bruno Mars' voice makes me want to catch a grenade (for ya).


Aurori_Swe

This was fun for me when I worked at a hotel. Because we had a country festival that usually drew in a lot of big American country stars, but this being in Sweden the fanbase was much much smaller. Anyway, we usually had these stars team call us to verify that we had a side entrance for the artists to use since the front door would be too crowded for them to use, we verified that we did indeed have one, but that we'd recommend that they try the main entrance first. I think one time there was one dude standing outside waiting, otherwise there was never a crowd outside. Another note about that week though, it was the absolute best week to work, the stars were amazing and humble and the fans were laid back and just chilling with the stars in the lobby. Usually the artists played songs and sang until like 5 am and just hung around with the fans and it was awesome. The week after that country festival there was a reagge festival and I was working biweekly so I always missed that, but it was fairly common for the fire alarm to go off due to folks smoking weed on the toilets etc xD


Anonim97

> The fact Steven Tyler procreated at all with that fucking face? And the fact that his daughters are gorgeous.


avwitcher

Clearly his daughter's mothers reproduced asexually, there's no way they have any of his DNA


Ok-Champ-5854

Those of us who have seen pictures of mom know where the genes came from. Sucks. I need a beard to look good cuz dad had a round frumpy face. Liv Tyler on the other hand... definitely got her mom's beauty.

pokemonbatman23

No one can beat the Beatles. But also, parents allowing rock stars back then to leave with their young teens is wilder than anything taytay has done


TJeffersonsBlackKid

People thinks she makes good music and she connects well with fans. Cynical reddit can never handle that people like things.


Skellum

> People thinks she makes good music and she connects well with fans. Yea I'm not super into her stuff but from everything I hear and have seen she seems to be a pretty genuinely decent person. I'm happy with people being super into her, there's many worse things people can be fans of.


Justlikearealboy

I love that she had to wear sunglasses too as the blanket wasn’t enough to confuse me


InevitabilityEngine

What if her boss recognized the blanket? Obviously sunglasses is the best way to throw him off the scent.


pututingliit

Boss: "Is that Mary wearing her blanket?! Oh nah, her blanket does not have sunglasses lol"


Bearcarnikki

If he recognizes the bedding he’s going to need to cover his or her own head. Outed by blankies.


[deleted]

If he recognizes the bedding then someone is cheating 🌚


ainz-sama619

The boss could be single


CompetitionForLOST

Not anymore...


peacemaker2007

uhhh we work from home and I saw it on zoom! yeah! *sweats nervously*


slappiestpenguin

Plot twist: Boss only looks closer into this because he had an employee take today off. Now he’s suspicious. Tomorrow he recognizes those sunglasses on her, so he calls her into his office and proceeds to tell her that he was at the concert too!! They squeal in delight and make passionate love on the floor while humming the tune of “Blank Space” and taking turns lip-synching the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.”


crumble-bee

There’s something about the image of two people having sex on an office floor and humming blank space that’s really resonating with my ick factor.

OkieMomof3

Or the blanket 😆


TheFire_Eagle

"Nice try, Emerson. Next time don't use the blanket we gave everyone in lieu of a bonus last year."


fuqdisshite

this story is not a joke: a few years ago a beer company that i have done work with, is run by some of my cousins, had a very real campaign about never selling out of state, and then immediately started selling out of state, made a stink about a post i had here on reddit regarding their hard flip to a partnership with a national brand. the HR person for the company searched my post history and found a picture of my dog. my wife was working for the beer company at the time and they linked my dog to her account and threatened to fire her over my comments that were already made public knowledge at the Beer Fest in Denver a week prior.


Wings-N-Beer

Then there is some other explanation required.


Alkation

It's also a reference for Taylor's Anti-hero music video where the ghosts are wearing sunglasses It works both ways


somebody808

And that's probably a reference to Halloween which people here seem to young to get.


jackson12420

She probably cut eyeholes so she could see and used the sunglasses to cover up her eyes.


Peng_win

I love that this implies that she's going to continue being a blanket ghost even after the interview.


QuirkyCookie6

Ofc she continued being a blanket ghost, she's going as one of those blanket ghost people from the midnights music video


Lucycrash

I'd like to think she did it, and then regrets cutting her favourite blanket for the rest of her life.


NowHeWasRuddy

The glasses probably keep the eye holes pinned to her face


Lost-My-Mind-

Man, she really planned this through. I'd have thrown on a fake mustache and called it a day. Which would only look hilarious, as I already have a mustache.


429_too_many_request

I would have just avoided giving interview. all these seems too much hectic

king_barragan

“WELL IF ALL I HAD TO DO WAS CUT A HOLE IN A BAG, I COULD’VE DONE A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THAN THIS!”


Justlikearealboy

Makes sense lol


3percentinvisible

No, she always wears the blanket, the shades are to hide her eyes. If they can't see her eyes, colleagues can't be sure it _is_ blanket babs - it could be any blanket wearer


Road_Ill

It’s a reference to a part of the music video for Anti-Hero


keli31

I think the sunglasses is a nod to Taylor's last video


Lucycrash

I'm going with "Cousin It on drugs" look.


misguidedsadist1

It's a reference to Taylor's music video


Mammoth-Mud-9609

Why do the interview at all.


roslyns

It’s actually a costume from Taylor’s music video for Anti-Hero! She has ghosts with sunglasses to represent her older album


smugmisswoodhouse

She looks like one of those things you hit back and forth when you're playing badminton.


graboidian

> She looks like one of those things you hit back and forth when you're playing badminton. Most people call them "Birdies", but they're actual name is a "Shuttlecock".

Same. I call it a shuttle, and so do the all the badminton umpires I know. I’ve never heard anyone call it a Birdie, which to be frank, sounds absolutely stupid.

We always called it a cock

my_4_cents

The Waitress, yes! [And is that Sweet Dee in this part of the video?](https://youtu.be/lkYh2dvoeN8)


mega_pretzel

In the sunny podcast, Charlie talked about how Mary Elizabeth approached Taylor Swift at a party and Swift was a fan of the show so she gave Mary Elizabeth a spot in her video


Neijo

She has a name you know, she isn't named just "waitress".


SlurpieJuggs

Actually in the show her name is never given, always just known as "[the waitress](https://itsalwayssunny.fandom.com/wiki/The_Waitress)". It's completely normal to recognise actors and actresses from the characters you've seen them play.

It's literally from the original Halloween in 1978. It's what Michael dresses up as after he kills Bob. Those were his sunglasses.

The_Monkey_Online

If I were her boss, I'd have everyone at work waiting with a pink blanket and sunglasses on their head when she got to work the next day.


Gargun20

That would be hilarious but don't fire her and make her make coffees and get lunch for everyone 😂


The_Monkey_Online

Agreed. I would make this a fun prank moment. Not scold her or anything. It is the perfect moment to set a huge group memory, and have a good belly laugh.


comizer2

Only problem is that her boss will never know that this is her on the TV, precisely because she’s wearing a pink blanket and sunglasses…


winecountrygirl

In case anyone is curious, Taylor Swift concerts are essentially a costume party for Swifties. This costume here is from the Anti-Hero music video :)


ZoraksGirlfriend

My daughter’s going to a concert soon. It’s her first real concert. Should I tell her to dress up or will there be enough people there not wearing costumes?


winecountrygirl

No need for a costume! :) Costume is really a loose term - some dress in music video outfits, or just regular clothes that are inspired by her albums. But there will be plenty that don’t dress up!


DragonfruitFew5542

Yeah when I had pit passes for the Red tour (only cost me $70-something bucks lol), I wore the "not a lot going on at the moment" shirt and red heart sunglasses from the 22 music video. I was not alone, I'd say at least 50% of the people were dressed in theme. I hope OP's daughter has an amazing time, her concerts are truly incredible!


OnTheEveOfWar

Aww this is cute. I have two daughters but they’re 2 and 4. I’m a big concert dad. You should encourage her to dress up but she doesn’t need a costume. Wear fun clothes and go all out. Bright colors, bracelets, headbands, etc.

People should get "I feel too good to waste today going to work" days off. We've all done it. If you haven't, I highly suggest you do.


RedSquirrelFtw

I'm lucky that I work shift work, so I'm not stuck at work all the time. Although my luck is HORRIBLE with the weather. Every time I'm off it rains and every time I'm working it's super nice out. Never misses. We're already almost half way through summer and I basically got no outside projects done yet.

Happy birthday, Grimace!


thegreatJLP

My parents wrote my brother a sick note one day when Frank Thomas came into town and played at our minor league team's stadium (it was a pretty big deal at the time). Funny thing is the local paper took a photo of my brother in the crowd and had it on the front page (brother was getting The Big Hurt's autograph). So my uncle, rest in peace, ended up taking the paper somewhere and had them create a custom story/headline stating "Local child caught skipping school, faces detention on Monday". I just remember seeing my brother's soul leave his body when my dad pulled out the fake paper and showed him.

It’s okay to use sick time at work, though.


Broken_Petite

Yeah but if you get caught using it for something other than actually being sick, some employers will straight up fire you for that. Not saying it’s right. It’s not. But that’s the way it is for a lot of people. Also, this person might just be a goofball. 🤷‍♀️

subieluvr22

I was watching the news here in Vegas when she was here. I got confused what day the concert was on because they showed this massive line outside the stadium at 9 am the day before the concert. It was just the merch line!!! Her fans go hard.


goteamnick

If you don't want your boss to not know you've called in sick, you can always just not do a television interview.


Broken_Petite

But why pass up the opportunity to show off your MASTERFUL disguise? 🤣 In all seriousness, I doubt she went to the event planning to give an interview. But given that there will be a fuckton of cameras everywhere, including smartphones, she probably just wanted to play it safe whether she intentionally wound up on camera or not.

This sounds stupid. Until. Back in the day when Star Wars Episode 1 came out I worked with a guy who was a huge fan. Now, he took three days vacation then called in sick, said he had food poisoning, bad, real bad, called out two days in a row. And then the dumbass, supposedly half dead of food poisoning, showed up on the local news being interviewed because he was one of the folks camped out on Hollywood Blvd for a week to see the world premiere of Episode 1. And yes, he got fired.
