Thousands of Taylor Swift concertgoers in Madrid have come down with COVID-19 after Eras Tour - Published June 10, 2024
"COVID, infected by Taylor Swift, I'll sell my antigen test for 5000 euros," one Swiftie said
Some Swifties in Europe have more than Taylor Swift in common — they have COVID-19 too.
During the singer's European Eras Tour stops, Swift performed in Madrid on May 29 and 30. According to Spanish news site El Nacional, not long after the concert that amassed about 130,000 attendees over two days, thousands online have said they contracted COVID-19. Such gatherings are widely known for being possible superspreader events, as people from many different areas – sometimes even flying in from different countries – are in such close proximity.
One specific X account, known for being a hub for Spanish Swifties, took a poll of their followers, asking if they had become sick with COVID-19 after one of Swift's concerts in Madrid. Of the 10,796 people who answered the poll online, 35%, or 3,780 of the concertgoers said they had.
