Taylor Swift fans are reportedly having “post concert amnesia” after seeing the pop icon perform during her ‘Eras’ tour.Taylor Swift kicked off her long-awaited ‘Eras’ tour back in Arizona back in March, and has played numerous shows across the US in the time since.Now, with stops still set to be made in Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles and more (tickets available here), some fans who have already seen the singer-songwriter perform live have discussed a strange phenomenon they have described as “post concert amnesia” (via Consequence).While fans are by no means forgetting that they attended the gigs, some have supposedly forgotten chunks of time during the event, including memories of certain songs being played or moments where the artist addressed the crowd.According to Dr. Michelle Phillips, a senior lecturer in music psychology at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, the feeling of “amnesia” after an event such as a live performance is not only a real thing, but actually surprisingly common.“It’s likely to be one of the things they remember attending for the rest of their lives,” she said (via BBC).

Paul Gosar (R-AZ), one of the most extreme, far-right members of Congress.”The 105-year old organization American Jewish Congress states Gosar “has sparked controversy for embracing conspiracy theories and associating himself with antisemites, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis.”READ MORE: Twitter’s New CEO Sure Seems a Bit Like Elon Musk“The Groypers are essentially the equivalent of neo-Nazis,” Vanderbilt University historian Nicole Hemmer told TPM.
“They are attached to violent events like Jan. 6.
Nick Fuentes, as sort of the organizer of the Groypers, expresses Holocaust denialism, white supremacy, white nationalism, pretty strong anti-women bigotry, he calls for a kind of return to Twelfth Century Catholicism. They’re an extremist group that is OK with violence.”“A kind of even sub rosa identification of Groypers as congressional aides is the same as having Holocaust deniers, or alt righters, or, you know, Aryan Nations people,” Hemmer added.
