You've paid hundreds of dollars for a ticket and braved the pouring rain to watch your favourite artist perform in what should be an unforgettable evening. But three hours and over 40 songs later, you get home and realised you can't remember a thing.
It sounds almost unbelievable, but many Taylor Swift fans are claiming to suffer from "post-concert amnesia".
Psychologists say emotions and time may be behind the phenomenon.
From out-of-body experiences to entering a dream-like state, Swift's fans - or Swifties as they prefer to be known - have taken to social media in recent days to reveal their guilt at not being able to remember key moments from the Eras tour.

What concerts do you wish you could erase from memory?
Yeah, amnesia, that's it

Re: Yeah, amnesia, that's it
The Stones at Wembley in 85 were forgettable.
Eric Clapton at the Nordorf Robins gig at Knebworth was self indulgent shite.
Avenged Sevenfold (supporting the Mighty Maiden at Twickenham) were awful and got rightly bottled off.
T'Pau were shite, but then I should have expected that. Only went to try to get into a girly's knickers and that didn't happen so it was a doubly wasted evening.
Springsteen - shitesteen
Lou Reed - disappointing
Ocean Colour Scene - see Lou Reed
Tracy Chapman - as shit live as on record.

I know a man who taught his dog to play the trumpet on the London Underground.
He went from Barking to Tooting in an hour.

Agree with the Eric Clapton comment.
When did you see Lou Reed? He was fab when I saw him back in the 70's.....

In the late 80's. It was like he wasn't bothered.

He probably wasn't.
A friend absolutely loves Van Morrison, who tours constantly. He says sometimes Van does the concert with his back to the crowd. Not sure I understand why he would waste his money for that attitude but...

The Stones at Knebworth '76, bloody awful...
Led Zep same venue '79, I only went to make the numbers up. I actually fell asleep during their performance. No substances were involved.

Odd thing, ain't it... you meet people one at a time, they seem decent, they got brains that work, and then they get together and you hear the voice of the people. And it snarls.
