Taylor Swift fans were reportedly left shocked after concertgoers left their baby on the floor during one of the pop icon’s Paris shows.
TMZ reports that a now-viral shocking photo shows an infant lying on the floor of the standing room section during Friday night’s show at La Défense Arena. The baby was lying on a jacket while an adult, presumed to be its parent or guardian, stood over them.
The person who took the since-deleted photo alleged said that the baby seemed to have ear protection. “Not to be one of those people but I would genuinely call security if I saw a baby in the pit because it is NOT safe there.”
The post made it to Reddit where users were quick to call out the infant’s parents. “Holy s— that cannot be real,” one Reddit user stated. “Omfg that is actually horrible. The baby’s poor ears. I hate people.”
Another Reddit user stated that this wasn’t the first time that they had seen a baby at a concert. “I saw a toddler at a Paramore concert and I felt so bad for her. She was so tired and so overstimulated from all the noise. And this in the PIT?!”
Fellow Reddit users called out the parents for their decision to take the infant to the show. “I’m sorry, but if you can afford to dish out a ton of money for tickets, you can do the same with childcare. This is reckless.”
Taylor Swift is performing her last show in Paris on Sunday, May 12, before heading to Sweden. She will be performing at the Friends Arena in Stockholm from May 17 to May 19.

Taylor Swift Sends Flowers to Family of Tennessee Teen Who Died in Truck Accident
Although she has had a pretty busy career schedule over the years, Taylor Swift reportedly made time to send a bouquet to the family of a Tennessee teen baseball star who died in a terrible 2020 truck accident.
The mother of Grant Solomon revealed to The Daily Mail that Swift sent a “massive” floral arrangement two days after the teenager’s death in July 2020.
Solomon was reportedly discovered under his truck in the parking lot of the baseball training facility, Ward Performance Institute, in Franklin, Tennessee. His father, who had found him, told the 9-1-1 operator that he had been trapped underneath the vehicle.
The Gallatin Police Department reported Solomon’s death to be a parking lot accident.
Solomon’s mother, who wanted to have his death investigated because she believes he was a victim of a crime, stated he met Taylor Swift in 2013. His father, a former news anchor turned financial advisor, had worked with Swift’s dad Scott in Nashville.
Solomon was nine at the time and met Swift after her 2013 show at the Bridgestone Arena. They even took a picture together.
Remembering Swift’s bouquet, Solomon’s mother said, “I’ve never seen one like that. It was a cement rectangle vase. It was so heavy – it took two people to carry it into the house.”
She also revealed that the bouquet was full of “rare exotic flowers” that were really beautiful. She further recalled Solomon talking about his interaction with Taylor Swift.
“[He said], ‘Mom she smelled so good.’ I thought he would say, ‘She’s beautiful,’ or something about her hair or red lips, but only how good she smelled. His eyes had stars in them. it was so pure, so cute. I will never forget that.”
