• Swifties unable to get Eras tickets have taken to "Taylor-gating".
  • Taylor Swift fans have been holding their own listening parties outside of stadiums—and these fetes filled with sequins, TikTok-worthy picnics, and lots of dancing.
  • The only downside: Some concert venues are not allowing non-ticket holders on their grounds the day of concerts.

We normally think of football, cold beer, and roaring bonfires when it comes to tailgating. But let me introduce you to an entirely different (and more fabulous) version of tailgating filled with sequins, TikTok-worthy picnics, and lots of dancing. I am of course talking about "Taylor-gating."

If you haven't already guessed by the name, Taylor-gating created by Taylor Swift fans who have been holding their own listening parties outside of stadiums when they were unable to get Eras Tour tickets.

For some, Taylor-gating was so nice they had to do it twice.

"In a surprising turn of events, my mom wants to walk to the stadium to hear the show so this will be second time taylorgating for the eras tour," one user on Twitter shared.

"The Swifties with no tickets having the #taylorgating parties in the parking lots is a beautiful thing love this for them," another person added.

The only downside to Taylor-gating is that some concert venues are not allowing non-ticket holders on their grounds the day of concerts. Last week, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, announced on social media that Swifties without tickets would not be allowed to tailgate during the shows last weekend.

According to one tweet, Taylor-gating was also banned at Swift's show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

"Hello @TODAYshow, #TaylorGating is banned at @GilletteStadium. The stadium should have been built in Boston but since it wasn’t it is accessed by a two lane road which makes attending an event there a nightmare. Ticket holders only in the parking lots," they wrote.
