Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour kicked off with a pair of dates in Glendale, Ariz., over the weekend and saw the pop star performing hits and fan favorites from her nearly two-decade career. The Saturday (March 18) concert date was extra special for one couple in attendance that got married during Swift’s performance.
The Wedding During Swift’s Concert
In a fan-captured video of the nuptials, René Hurtado and Max Bochman used a break during the pop star’s set to get married, wearing a white dress and veil and tuxedo, respectively, to exchange their vows. While it’s unclear whether any “paper rings” were exchanged during the romantic moment, the newlyweds shared a kiss, which prompted the surrounding Swifties in attendance to cheer them on.
According to TMZ, the couple considered eloping on the day of Swift’s concert and using the concert itself as the wedding reception. Ultimately, the lovers decided to get married during the show instead.
The Couple’s Reaction
Taking to Instagram following the show, Hurtado gushed about scoring such great seats and essentially having Swift play at her wedding (kinda). “Do you understand how close I was to her? I’m deceased,” she wrote via her Instagram Story.
The Eras Tour
Elsewhere during the show, fans were treated to a whopping 44 songs on Swift’s setlist, dazzling outfits and too many memorable moments to count. The Eras Tour features four distinct sets, each representing a different era of Taylor Swift's career: "Fearless," "1989," "Red," and "Lover."
Swift’s fans worldwide have been eagerly waiting for this tour, which marks the artist's return to live shows following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Love at Concerts
The marriage comes after a fan proposed during Harry Styles’ concert in Singapore on Friday and another couple attending Adele’s Las Vegas residency in their dress and tux following their wedding (the “Easy on Me” singer signed the bride’s dress).
Swift’s concerts have always been a place where fans can let their love flourish. Many couples have started their relationships at Swift’s shows, with her music serving as the perfect backdrop to their love stories.
Conclusion
It's a heartwarming feeling to see two people in love sharing their special day with their favorite artist and surrounded by their fellow fans. Swift’s concerts have always been a magical experience for her fans, and it's moments like these that make them even more memorable.
