welcom to America today with a new article about ‘Taylor Swift baby’ goes viral at concert. Are kids allowed – and should you bring them?
Taylor Swift brought her Eras Tour to Paris and attracted one surprisingly young fan: a baby, who was allegedly photographed lying on the floor.
A venue spokesperson told the New York Post’s Page Six that the fan in question would have been offered a place to sit: “For spectators with a young child in the floor, an alternative seating arrangement has been proposed but refused by ticket holders.” A quick Google search reveals that plenty of parents are seeking guidance on the best way to bring a baby to a concert.
A blog post on the e-commerce site Tushbaby asks “Can you take babies to concerts?” and advises that infants wear earplugs and, when possible, be taken to concerts that are “Appropriate for their age and temperament.” Beyond providing food and drinks, parents should be prepared to leave if the experience proves overwhelming for their baby, the post says.
Among the positives of her experience: babies are often free at shows, music “Is great for a child’s development” and your “Baby will be more adaptable.” “Taking an infant to a loud concert may seem anxiety-inducing, but it can also be a lot of fun and a great way to make memories,” Garcia wrote.
What about just buying a pair of noise canceling headphones, is that enough to bring baby to the show? Not so fast, says Linda Dahl, an ear, nose and throat specialist with Northwell Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
What’s more, any tests on babies to determine if there are hearing issues are inconclusive for the simple reason that babies cannot tell you if they are hearing something or not, she says.
Says Dahl: “At that, you might just think, ‘Do I or my baby have to go to the concert?'”.
