Piers Morgan reveals ‘only dampener’ at Taylor Swift’s Concert – Was he right or wrong?

Piers Morgan has revealed what his “only dampener” was when attending Taylor Swift’s concert in London over the weekend. On June 23, Morgan went to the “Anti-Hero” singer’s third back-to-back show at Wembley Stadium, along with a slew of famous concert guests. Following the event, Piers wrote an article for The Sun about the concert, which he attended with his 12-year-old daughter, Elise, and acknowledged how impressed he was by the Eras tour.

After noting how evident it was that his daughter “enjoyed herself” at the concert, he confessed why he wasn’t necessarily pleased about one part of the event, receving a friendship bracelet from a fan. “The only dampener for me came as we left, and stewards handed us all a free friendship bracelet. Everyone else in our group got uplifting loving messages. Mine said simply: ‘Y U gotta be so mean?’” he wrote, as the bracelet refers to the lyrics from Swift’s song, “Mean”, off her Speak Now album.

Since the start of the Eras tour last year, fans have abided by a tradition of handing out friendship bracelets to fellow guests and strangers at the concert. The strategy, which is common at EDM concerts and raves, was inspired also by the lyrics of Swift’s song “You’re on Your Own Kid”, which are “So make the friendship bracelets/ take the moments and taste it.”

Piers’ “Mean”-themed bracelet comes as he’s continued to spark outrage over his controversial interview guests. In May, viewers branded him as “unethical” for an interview with Scottish lawyer Fiona Havery, who allegedly inspired the character in Richard Gadd’s hit drama series Baby Reindeer. The series is allegedly about Harvey, who is named Martha in the show, with the episodes showcasing how Martha stalked and harassed Gadd for months.

The former Good Morning Britain host has also been criticized for making misogynistic comments about women, including repeated allegations about Meghan Markle after she and husband Prince Harry left their roles as working members of the royal family. Elsewhere in his piece of The Sun, Morgan discussed how the Eras tour was a fun place for celebrities, with The Beatles star Paul McCartney in the stands and Swift’s boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, even making an appearance on stage. He went on to share one of his biggest takeaways about the “All Too Well” singer after attending her concert.

“In my Bizarre days, I saw better live singers (Freddie Mercury), better dancers (Jacko), and better all-round musicians (Prince), but I’ve never seen anyone with a stronger connection to her audience than Taylor Swift,” Piers wrote. “As for her songs, they’re the purest form of pop music, each one telling its own little story, each one touching the heartstrings in its own little way. He added: “She writes great pop because she understands what people go through in the relentless emotional rollercoaster of life, having experienced it herself.”
