Fans of Taylor Swift are passionate and can line up for several days before their idol's concert. Some attend the performance with their whole family. A striking photo of a baby at "The Eras Tour" has become a sensation online.

Taylor Swift is currently the biggest pop music star worldwide. "The Eras Tour" is a phenomenal success in terms of sales, culture, and commerce. The European leg of the tour kicked off in early May in Paris.

The artist boasts a massive fan base that spans all ages: her music appeals to both the young and the old. At stadium concerts, people from all generations enjoy themselves—however, this doesn't always lead to the formation of new friendships or bonds. A photo of what appears to be the youngest attendee at the concert in Paris at La Défense Arena has taken the internet by storm. The image of a baby lying on the floor of the arena has gone viral.

The child was found lying on the ground, surrounded by many Taylor Swift fans

In the photo, which quickly spread online, a baby can be seen on the arena floor, specifically in the standing area at the concert. Surrounding the child are predominantly adults who could trample the little one. Close by, there's also his parent or guardian, who seems indifferent to the precarious situation.

Internet users are unusually in agreement and collectively criticize the baby's guardians. They argue that the arena is no place for such a small child and that the loud concert could overwhelm him. They also suggest that if the parents could not find a babysitter, they should ensure his environment was safe.

"you belong in a jail cell for bringing your baby on the floor of a taylor swift concert. the lack of common sense is astonishing to me," - one internet user commented on X.

Commenters also highlight that in the event of an evacuation, the child could be in danger of getting trampled. Internet users are dismayed and question the parents' lack of concern.

It's important to note that the rules of La Défense Arena in Paris require all minor attendees to be accompanied by an adult guardian.
