What is the Post-Eras Tour emotional state?
Taylor Swift’s concert tickets are famously known to sell within minutes after going up for sale. Some fans have even bought the concert tickets for thousands of dollars due to the resale market. The fans who have secured a concert ticket describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A few fans have come forward to describe feeling emotionally low after attending the concert.
Fans were left confused by their emotional state after attending the Eras Tour concerts. Marta Fernandez explained the reason why fans felt emotionally low. She pointed out that this feeling is not really a case of clinical distress but just a drastic shift in mood. This mood change can be justified by different reasons.
“The drop we’ve all experienced, well, it’s the same. Moreover, at an event like this, with your reward systems and pleasure levels at their peak, of course… then there’s a drop,” she explained.

A second problem that many fans themselves are going through is not having vivid memories of the concert. Marta also explained the reason behind this unusual situation. The expert explained how when your nervous system gets too excited, it starts interpreting it as a threat. “Therefore, it prioritizes some structures and shuts down others,” he added.
Marta revealed that the only way to get things back to normal is to get back into routine. Regulating your nervous system by sleeping, eating, and resting enough is the way to go. “Making plans that, instead of connecting us so much with pleasure, connect us with serotonin” should also do the trick. A few more things the expert suggests are reading a book or meeting up with a friend.
