Confusion ensued among fans when a baby was found lying on the floor at a Taylor Swift concert over the weekend. A Twitter user, @jacnights13, shared a photo of the baby, apparently asleep on a purple coat in the standing area of Swift’s concert at the La Défense Arena in Paris on Friday night. It remains unclear who brought the infant, whether the concert had started, or if the baby had a ticket.
The photo caption expressed safety concerns: “Not to be one of those people, but I would genuinely call security if I saw a baby in the pit because it is NOT safe there.” Another user commented on the potential sensory overload for the infant, noting, “Wtf…wouldn’t a baby find it overwhelming too? It looks like they may have ear protectors on, but even so, it would still be loud, chaotic, with lots of movement and flashing lights, etc. I don’t see the point in taking a baby to a concert tbh; they are not going to even know what’s going on.”
According to the person who posted the photo, the child seemed to be equipped with ear protection to mitigate the loud music and crowd noise. However, this did not alleviate concerns about the baby’s safety in such an environment.
As of now, neither representatives for Swift nor the La Défense Arena have commented on the incident. The arena’s website does advise against bringing children under four years old to events, citing the high volumes typically experienced. The website also includes a detailed guide for Swift’s Paris concerts, scheduled from May 9-12, outlining prohibited items and bag policies. Regrettably, it does not specify rules concerning the presence of children at the venue.
