An incident took place at a performance by Taylor Swift in Australia, where Swifties criticized a woman captured on video using an application to identify one of Taylor’s songs, but many others are coming to her defense.
Some Taylor fans are furious because the concert-goer, who appears to be a middle-aged woman, resorted to Shazam to identify a song Taylor was singing, specifically, “Champagne Problems.”
A brief clip of the woman frantically searching for the song on her phone is going viral on TikTok, and a faction of Swifties is angered, complaining that a not-so-diehard fan bought a ticket to the sold-out “Eras” tour shows.
There’s a lot of negativity in the comments, excessively ranting about the woman… seemingly unforgivable for the swifties.
While the outrage is quite strong, most people are being understanding… Thank goodness.
The most discussed theory is that the woman probably attended the show with a younger family member who is a big Taylor fan, and she simply didn’t know the songs. Sounds quite plausible, and definitely nothing to worry about.

Hey, it’s not like she was searching for “Shake It Off”. Let’s leave this poor woman alone.

Conclusion
