We’ve all been caught falling asleep at someplace we were supposed to be awake.
But most of us do not have to contend with being plastered on TikTok by a sibling who cannot believe anyone could nap during a Taylor Swift Eras Tour show.
The TikTok user captioned the photo, “Not him sleeping through ICDIWABH,” which for the uninitiated in Swiftie-speak, refers to the song “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.”

“When you take your brother to The Eras Tour and he falls asleep,” she wrote on the video.
The video showed the young man held up to ridicule head-bopping to one song but dreaming of something other than a Swift song later in the brief video.
Some fans took a philosophical tone.
A TikTok poster using the name Tara Johnsen wrote, “3 hours; I too would have a nap.”
“You deserve prison but you won’t serve time,” a poster using the name renaissance_tash wrote. The line is from a Swift song: “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.”
Another poster, David Marson, wrote, “wasted ticket, a fan could never.”
“That’s an expensive nap,” a poster named Fabian wrote.
But the real fuss over the goings-on at a Swift show came over images of what appeared to be a baby with what appeared to be noise-reducing earmuffs on the floor of a Swift show in Paris, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
Although the initial photo that prompted the outrage has been deleted, versions of it are still available on X.
ICYMI, photos of a baby lying on the floor during Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour in Paris went viral.

as a mom of a baby that’s about this size, i couldn’t imagine being them into a concert at all. i understand sitters are hard to find, so if you really needed to bring them, you shouldn’t be in the pit. you should have a carrier for them, and the baby needs ear protection.

The photo shows a child lying on what appears to be a jacket on the floor of the venue. Feet frame the baby as if the adult with the child is protecting the baby.
La Défense Arena released a statement saying, “Paris La Defense Arena general terms and conditions of sale stipulate that all minors (without any age limit) holding a ticket for a concert at Paris La Défense arena must be accompanied by an adult.”
“Under 18 children remain under their legal guardian responsibility, it’s venue policy. For spectators with a young child in the floor, an alternative seating arrangement was proposed but refused by ticket holders,” the statement said.
