According to Stephanie Matto, you could be standing the entire evening, and the show goes on for over three hours.
She added: 'But you're going to be standing for over three hours because the person in front of you is going to be standing and if you want to sit down you aren't going to be able to see.'
Stephanie Matto also sparked a discussion about the drinking culture at Taylor's concert in the UK.
Central to Stephanie's critique was the drinking culture at UK concerts. "If you're not into alcohol," she warned, "you might find it challenging to fully enjoy the Eras tour."
