Would the concert be standing room only? Or are seats an option? How would you get there?

I’ve never been to a concert where it was standing room only for 10,000 people, but I heard Swift did have some shows like that (sounds like a recipe for disaster though). If it’s all standing room, maybe you can hang out more in the back and to the sides instead of in the middle where you’re more likely to get squished. You can chat with the people around you, trade bracelets, and make friends for the night to give you a greater sense of safety.

Yeah, same. All of the concerts I've been to had some areas that were standing room only but the rest were seats.

It's tswift so probably no way to afford sitting tickets.
Frankly, probably I would give a pass, because being in a crowd in the night IS creepy af. (I had my share of concerts alone). You can research your venue, in my experience the worst part is after the concert when you trying to find your way out. When you inside, it's usually fun - you can stand to the side, it's less crowded, everything is good. You can make some friends. But walking to the car/public transport sucks so much when it's a big concert. At least in all venues I've been to.

P!nk anon who went to her concert alone a few months ago - I made friends at the concert and walked back to the apartment that I'd booked ten minutes down the road in among the dwindling crowd. It really didn't thin out until I got to my destination on the waterfront and I felt safe the entire time (as both an afab person who presents femininely and part of the crowd).

I never felt boxed in or crowded and I have PTSD from being surrounding by bullies that makes it impossible sometimes for me to feel comfortable with people over my shoulder. I had to stop walking a couple of times bc at that point I'd been walking around the city for two days and my kneecap (which is off center) was aching, but I never felt afraid.

I mean, the chances of you getting trampled at a concert these days are pretty low. I think we've gotten pretty good at avoiding that by this point.

Avoiding getting boxed in, if it's a standing-only show, is probably gonna be hard to avoid. If you're just not comfortable being in a packed crowd, then no, you probably shouldn't be going to standing-only shows. And TBH I don't think a buddy is going to fix that particular problem. On the other hand, it's probably not going to be an issue at a seated show and I think most of Taylor's are seated.

IME You have to reassure yourself a lot before the first couple of concerts (the first one is always the biggest hurdle) that you'll be fine.

Most concerts are safe with no trampling or crowds getting rowdy.
Even though Taylor Swift concerts draw in big crowds, given her core audience, chances are the concert will be filled with positive energy, and the chances of rude/panic-stricken people will be low.

When queuing up, take a look around and strike up a conversation with someone (especially if they are someone who also looks to have come solo; solo concert goers are more common than you think and it's always nice to have someone strike up a conversation with you).
At concerts it can be easy to talk to each other about the artist, their music, why you're there.
Most people are nice. It's even more likely for them to be nice and friendly when they're doing something they like.

I hope you can go to the next TSwift concert OP!!!

I (a tiny woman) went alone to a 40k people metal concert, all standing, held on the outskirts of a city and basically in a field, at night - and I went there like to any regular concert. Over half the audience were men, a lot of them were drunk but everyone was courteous, well-behaved, organized, left the premises calmly. Made friends with a foreign couple while waiting, and then during the concert, I ended up in the middle of the crowd and couldn't see the stage for shit from that distance, so two very tall very drunk dudes let me stand in front of them after I asked. I won't say something bad can't happen at shows like that, but well, nothing happened. (The concert was in Europe tho, so it may have factored in.)

speaking as someone who's both been in the position of being the one who was looked after and the one who looked after someone else at a public event, people will notice others alone and want to reach out to them even if it's something as simple as 'hey, do you want to hang out while we wait'. i was only able to wait outside the eras tour show in my area but people were still looking out for each other and pretty friendly.
