1. The outfits! The sheer effort and joy that people have put into their Eras tour outfits has blown my mind. I went for a black dress I already owned plus six of the 50+ friendship bracelets I made and a big black bow in my hair to make it vaguely The Tortured Poets Department themed, but seeing people in hand-bejewelled bodysuits and denim jackets painted with lyrics, I wish I’d gone all-out. That’s not because of any sort of negative comparison – I didn’t feel remotely insecure in my outfit and received many compliments on my bracelets – but I had immense fun clocking the meaning behind people’s costumes, and if I went again, I’d definitely want to get more involved.

2. I love all the different types of people here. In my queue are goth Swifties, dads of Swifties (including one wearing an excellent ‘it’s me, hi, I’m the dad, it’s me’ T-shirt), groups of mid-30s Swifties sipping pre-drinks, tiny shy Swifties with their mums, 1989 Swifties, Folklore Swifties, Swifties wearing hijabs, wheelchair-using Swifties. Seeing so many people united by an artist is honestly kind of moving, especially when you see fans chatting about secret songs and swapping bracelets with people they met seconds before.

3. Paramore are excellent, of course. They were my first proper gig (if we don’t include the S Club Juniors/S Club tour) many, many years ago, back when my friends and I had to have a parent accompany us and I had the energy to push through the crowds to get to the front in my homemade Riot! top, so this feels like a bizarre full-circle moment. I do slightly want to shake all the fans who roll up after Paramore’s set. They missed out.

4. Oh phew, food. I’m in a hospitality box with Emirates (big thank you, Emirates) and so far I’ve had my champagne glass filled a few too many times. I’m very appreciative of the sushi that arrives, eaten at a proper table with special Taylor Swift-themed place settings.
