Taylor Swift is such a popular musician, that it’s no surprise to see strange occurrences at her massive concerts. Strangely enough, however, it looks like one Taylor Swift fan managed to cause an uproar by leaving a baby on the venue floor for one of her Paris concerts.
As you can see below, the images of the baby at the Taylor Swift concert have began circulating online. The baby appears to be laying on clothing positioned on the floor, and while there is a person standing over the child, it’s unknown if that’s actually the baby’s guardian.
Here’s the image:

Additionally, there is the uproar, in which many different social media users have taken to X to complain about the sight. Naturally, many people, especially parents, are disappointed that a baby was brought to the concert much less left on the floor of the pit of Taylor Swift’s concert. Here are some of their complaints shared below:

Who knew the French were idiots? They admitted a BABY into Taylor Swift’s concert & it was scene on the floor in the pit area during the show. Give that little one a hearing test & parent(s) a competency test…

Users point out that while it’s unwise to bring a baby to a concert, it’s especially unwise to leave them on the ground. Especially when other attendees could have hurt the baby accidentally or on purpose. After all, with the child lying on the ground, it would be quite easy for someone to accidentally step on them.
While some users were finding an opportunity to insult Taylor Swift and her fanbase directly, there were those quick to explain that they were completely unrelated to any neglectful parents or guardians. It’s an exception, not a rule, and it’s clear that everyone wants to see such children treated in a safe manner.
As shared via Fox News, a communications officer at Paris La Defense Arena shared the following statement:
“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 has been proposed but refused by ticket holders.”
