Taylor Swift performs during The Eras Tour in Lisbon.
  • Forget friendship bracelets — some Swifties are calling Covid-19 their new concert souvenirs.
  • Some fans who got COVID-10 after attending her Eras Tour are calling it a "gift" from "Mother."
  • In an informal poll on X after the Madrid show, over 3,700 people said they contracted the virus.

It's been years since the pandemic times of COVID-19 lockdowns and the era of mandated masking. But while the virus is still circulating, some Swifties have become wildly optimistic about what it means to catch an infection at one of their idol's concerts.

So much so that some Swifties on social media are playfully dubbing the COVID-19 infection they think they got from her concerts a "souvenir" and a "gift" from "Mother."
