Taylor Swift sent fans wild this week when she announced her first US stadium tour in five years - but it's reduced a number of brides to tears. Many Swifties dream of walking down the aisle to Love Story and having their first dance to You Belong With Me, so some have been left devastated by the Bad Blood singer's tour dates.
The 32-year-old recently released her 10th studio album, Midnights, which has made her the first artist in history to claim every spot in the top 10 of the US singles chart and bcame Spotify's most streamed album in a single day. Announcing the tour news on Twitter, Taylor shared a tour poster with the caption: "I'm enchanted to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past & present!).
"The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can!"
She also wrote on Instagram : "I can't WAIT to see your gorgeous faces out there. It’s been a long time coming."
The Blank Space songstress will kick off the tour on March 18 in Glendale, Arizona at State Farm Stadium.
The 27-date run includes other stadium stops in Las Vegas, Arlington, Texas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles, where the US leg wraps on August 5 2023.
But this has put loads of millennial brides across America in a world of pain - because many have realised that Taylor's tour dates fall on their big day.
Now they must decide whether to miss out on a chance to see possibly the greatest artist who has ever walked this earth or to marry someone with nowhere near her fame or fortune.
It may seem an easy choice for some, but a lot of Swifties are devastated with what has happened - thinking they Would've, Could've, Should've picked a different wedding date.
"I am feeling so sorry for any millennial woman out there who just found out their wedding date is one of these," said TikTok user @emdoodlesandstuff in viral video showing a list of Taylor's upcoming tour dates.
One of those who is in a pickle is TikToker Maggie, known as @notmaggieg on the platform, who had actually joked about this eventuality back in January.
But she's no longer laughing about it, and in response to @emdoodlesandstuff’s video she shared a text exchange with her mother.
When she considered June 2, 9 or 16 as possible wedding dates, her mother jokingly replied: "Should I see if Taylor Swift has a conflict with June 2?"
She responded: "Yes, make sure Taylor is free lol What if [she] announces her tour is in Chicago and I have to pick between the 2 lol."
In another set of messages, Maggie confessed that a possible clash was "the question keeps me awake at night", with the video ending with her screaming into a pillow before punching it.
Another horrible reaction came from Jessica Ingersoll, a tearful Swiftie whose wedding date falls on July 22, when Taylor is in town.
"Taylor Swift is finally going on tour. But I live in Seattle, and that’s my wedding day," the bride-to-be said in a TikTok video.
With tears in her eyes, she asked: "Sooo do I cancel my wedding or..??”"
Jessica captioned the video: "Come on. What are the chances of that?"
However, Jessica posted a follow-up video where she explained she had been lucky enough to see Taylor perform several times already and was not going to change her wedding date.
There's not just the issue of not being able to attend yourself, as it could mean the guest list is quite a lot shorter if people choose Taylor over their pals.
The singing sensation will be joined by a number of popular artists, including Paramore, Haim, Phoebe Bridgers and Gracie Abrams.
Also featuring during the tour will be beabadoobee, girl in red, Muna, Gayle and Owenn.
