Before the movie began, Swift told the fans, "I think you'll see that you're absolutely a main character in the film. Because it was your magic and your attention to detail and your sense of humor and the ways that you lean into what I'm doing…"

OK. But let's not. Consider the ppl around you. Cinema sound is not even a fifth as loud as concert speakers. We wanna hear taylor, not off key fans

October 14, 2023 ">And while some Swifties are super excited by this behavior, others are a little annoyed.

I love this for everyone there. They are a total vibe. But now I am very nervous about bringing my autistic Swiftie toddler who would not do well in this setting. I thought we all agreed we were sitting and singing along bc the standing and screaming was for the stadiums

Swifties can give the best vibes in a setting like this! Looks so fun!

i'd cry if this was my screening 😭 i was so lucky with my crowd, they were literally perfect - singing along but not in an obnoxious way, and only standing up & dancing during shake it off & karma. that's all i was hoping for tbh.

I wanted to go but I just know her fans and these shenanigans that I can’t stand… I’m sure the Renaissance one will be pretty similar so I’ll wait for the digital releases thanks.

October 14, 2023 ">However, not everyone is a fan of this intense behavior:

Hell no. This isnt a stadium. Thankfully everyone was respectful at our showing tonight, i think buying the more expensive imax tickets helps as people that act like this would go for cheaper ones. Shameful.

This is the reason I wouldn't watch this in theatres. We knew there would be fans like this, treating it like a concert.
