To truly understand Taylor Swift’s level of celebrity, one must see the reaction of Swifties when they finally get the chance to see their heroine perform live.
Bursting out in tears of joy, spontaneous dancing, and ear-curdling screaming are just some of the symptoms.
But the internet broke when Americans learned what just happened to a tiny baby at one Taylor Swift concert in this European capital.
Rollover Beethoven and make room for Taylor Swift
Last month, Piers Morgan and The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh engaged in a heated debate over the merits of Taylor Swift.
The question at hand was:
Is Taylor Swift good or bad for society?
“Generally, I think there are many pop stars that are far more vulgar and objectionable than her … but she is someone who is in a kind of a state of arrested development.”@MattWalshBlog discussing Taylor Swift with @piersmorgan. pic.twitter.com/tcnsO19Dpl

While their debate settled nothing, there is no debating the influence of the pop megastar.
According to Forbes, Swift’s “Eras Tour” last year generated more than $1-Billion in revenue for quite possibly the biggest celebrity on Earth – making it the most lucrative concert tour in the history of music.
In fact, her fans are so committed to her, a Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey earlier this year found an astounding 18% of Americans said they’d vote for whomever Swift is backing for President.
Perhaps that troubling statistic could shed some light on the mindset that led to one terrifying scene at a recent Taylor Swift concert in Paris.
Arrested development
Don’t you dare try to get between a Swiftie and their cherished Taylor Swift.
Nothing will keep one of Swift’s crazed fans from seeing their idol perform live.
Apparently, not even the inability to secure a babysitter for their newborn Taylor Tot.

Above, you can see the elbow-to-elbow attendance at the jam-packed La Défense Arena in Paris for Swift’s May concert at the venue.
However, one Twitter user posted a shocking picture of one disturbing site at the floor level.
The user has since deleted the tweet, but not before others have spread it all over social media.
get ur baby off the floor and GO HOME pic.twitter.com/U8xrIbHCcS

As you can see in the above tweet, one concertgoer brought their infant child along with them to the concert.
Exposing a young child to Swift’s lyrics is a bad enough offense in and of itself.
However, the real problem here is, the parents actually set the baby on the ground while hordes of rabid Swift fans danced around it.

“Just to paint the full picture this is general admission at the Paris show tonight,” a user named Gina tweeted. “And that baby is somewhere in the floor AT THIS SHOW! Like WTF they have lost their minds! Terrible parenting.”
Twitter erupted at the scene, shocked any parent would do that to their child.
Some even suggested that the French equivalent of child protective services should have been called on the Swift-loving parent.
Others pointed out that one misstep could have ended the child’s life then and there.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen and the infant was simply forced to, “shake it off, shake it off.”
