Taylor Swift might be praised for her dedication after performing in front of thousands of fans despite the bad weather and hours of delay but one concertgoer was not happy with her experience, even comparing the show to the tragic Astroworld Festival.

According to Daily Mail UK, the pop star's third day in Nashville was met with natural disaster as there was a thunderstorm warning as well as lighting throughout the outdoor venue.

Since the Nissan Stadium didn't have any roof at the time to make way for the event, people were left cramped and crowded to find a place safe away from the rain.

Taylor Swift Fan Compared 'The Eras' Tour to Astroworld Tragedy

One fan named Andrea, who goes by the username @fantastic__fiction on TikTok, shared that the concert delay was "uncomfortable" and waiting for over three hours left her feeling "unsafe and terrified."

The woman claimed she purchased VIP tickets to the show, and explained that everyone in that section had to "go up underneath the stadium seats" to take shelter until the weather gets back to normal.

Initially, the area was "a little crowded," but she didn't mind it until the number of people doubled, leading concertgoers to stand "shoulder-to-shoulder" with no escape.

Since Andrea is only five feet tall, everyone was "towering" over her and she felt tight.

The fan then noted that the experience was reminiscent of the tragic Astroworld Festival which claimed the lives of nine fans and left hundreds of concertgoers injured.

"I literally thought it was going to be, like, another Travis Scott fatality - I've never been so scared for my life," she said.

When it was finally announced that the show would push through, Andrea said chaos erupted and she was left crying because she couldn't enjoy the show.

She later left the Nissan Stadium because of the rain and lightning throughout the show, and she didn't want to be involved in a dangerous incident.

Taylor Swift Nashville Rain Concert: Other Fans Pass Out, Throw Up

The recent news comes after an insider who claimed to have attended the event spoke to Page Six to reveal that the cramped crowd led to other concertgoers to pass out, throw up, and experience panic attacks.

The show must go on for Swift as she started her show three hours after the initial schedule. Fans who waited for hours were able to witness the pop star perform some of her biggest hits under the rain.

Since the concert started late and the show has a total running time of over three hours, Taylor Swift reportedly ended the show at around 2 in the morning.
