Taylor Swift “Rain Show” Concert May 20

Post by joe »

There was a terrific Taylor Swift concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts at Gillette Stadium last Saturday evening, May 20. It was part of her Eras Series of concerts which will be mounted nationally throughout the summer. Swift performed for 3 1/2 hours in a deluge of rain. She was surrounded by thousands of fans covered under their ponchos. I will share four photos and a video from Twitter. The first two links show a long time fan of Swift seated on the right, wearing a black “Reputation Era” themed outfit that was protected by a long purple vinyl hooded rain slicker. In the second picture, she has her long rain slicker buttoned up and is back in her hotel room drying out after the concert. The third is a video of Taylor Swift performing under torrents of rain. The fourth link is a photo of the woman dressed in black costume to represent the “Reputation Era” of Swift’s musical work. As we see in the first two photos, when she is back out in the stadium she wisely covers her “Reputation Era” outfit in this deluge with her purple raincoat:

The final link is a photo of three women in wet ponchos. The woman on the left who was at the concert with two of her friends, all in rain ponchos. She mentioned that her poncho was still wet, and she hoped that her poncho would never dry out as a memento of the wonderful Taylor Swift “rain show”. The photo link below shows the three women in their wet ponchos:

Swift seems to enjoy performing under a deluge of rain with aplomb. She stood completely exposed to the elements in at least a dozen different costumes with the rain completely drenching her in torrents. Swift literally spent 3 1/2 hours in a total deluge of 2.80 inches of rain that fell over 11 hours, but most of that came buffeting down during the concert She later described the experience as being immersed in a water park. And among Swift’s fans, to see this performer complete her entire program in a driving rain is a privilege of rare distinction: the Rain Show!

I can tell you the Taylor Swift has a new fan in me - a new “Swiftie”. But I wish I were at that concert. I did have the satisfaction of being at the concert in spirit by spending that Saturday night in my own poncho here in Maine and outdoors in a 2.25 inch deluge of rain.

Hi,
I was at the concert. I’ve never seen so many raincoats.

Thanks for sharing, these are great. I think Taylor Swift would look great in a knee length dark blue Peter storm cagoule. Zipped right up, good pulled up but not tight.
