On the heels of the North America 2023 Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has taken the industry by storm, with new music and the new iteration of old songs. Along the way, fans have included people of all ages, including nursing moms. Women have used nursing spaces, pods and identified safe spaces to express milk and breastfeed during the concerts.
This summer alone MomsPumpHere saw an uptick in searches for stadiums with nursing rooms all along the Eras Tour route.
Here are a few popular locations of nursing mom concert goers:
1. Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee
Nissan Stadium (Tennessee Titans stadium) have two Mother's Lounges and one Mamava Breastfeeding Suite available for breastfeeding mothers attending games and events with their babies or needing to express breast milk frequently.
Both Lounges are equipped with a changing table, an outlet, and a chair for nursing. Please note, any First Aid Station in Nissan Stadium will also accommodate a nursing mother.
2. Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey
AT Metlife Stadium, Nursing mothers are welcome to breastfeed their child wherever they feel comfortable. Those who request a more private location in which to breastfeed or express milk may use our Nursing Suite.
Located on the Plaza Level under Section 143. Please use the ramp to the left of the MetLife 50 Club, located in MetLife Central (plaza level near the MetLife Gate), to access the room.
3. State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona
State Farm Stadium (formerly University of Phoenix Stadium) in Glendale, Arizona says the following for breastfeeding mothers: "Privacy/Nursing Rooms are located on the Club Level in the elevator atrium at Section 230. Nursing Mothers can enter the stadium with breast pumps supplies at any gate. While breast pumps are not subject to the clear bag policy, they will be subject to search at the gates."
So for moms traveling to future Taylor Swift performances, lets talk about clothes, shoes, and other great outfits and dress accessories you could wear. Lets start by saying, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable, this is your moment for a mom escape, we can't stress this enough (body positivity first),and if anyone has anything bad to say or throw shade, please IGNORE THEM (Haters gonna hate, hate, hate and you know the rest).
Also most Swiftie moms going to the concerts tend to be in their 30's and 40's with a toddler and older siblings at home with dad or caretaker. Taylor wore a lot of glittery mini dresses and crop tops in her Eras Tour and many diehard fans wanna emulate that look. So let's find a comfort zone somewhere between that and what a typical mom would wear on an evening out to a nice restaurant date or lounge. Something cute and concert-worthy come to mind. Taylor's 1989 album feature a new more urban, glitzy, high energy look with colors that pop. Put something together that incorporate that style and fashion element.
If that look doesn't quite do it for you, you can also go for another classic Taylor look with outfits from her "Lover" album back in 2019 before everything went on mandatory shutdown. Put together an outfit with sequins, cute butterflies, pastels, and glitter. Be brave, and if you're traveling with a group of other moms, ask them to match it up with you. Mom's night out with the girls don't happen every day, so take advantage and fully enjoy them when they come around.
For moms going on their own vibe, don't be afraid to always involve sneakers, every walking and traveling girl's most common and casual footwear. The best way to dance all night without foot pain, avoid getting stepped on without anxiety of getting your shoe smeared, and add a youthful, new vibe to your clothing is with good old sneakers. The trick is to wear your shoes with something stylish and sophisticated.
So yes, pair those sneakers with mini dresses as a first go to. It's going for the happy, easygoing persona over glam. Keep the hemline high, and compliment it with an oversized jacket for an up to date look.
Going out to a Taylor Swift concert is a different event traveling experience nowadays. She's breaking album and concert performance records, she's a certified billionaire now, and everyone seems to want to be a swiftie. We have social media and blog accounts of moms seriously planning there monthly and yearly travel plans around Taylor Swift concert dates, and because of this airline flights around the US, Canada, and especially her European tours have increased dramatically. That is some serious influence, even on moms who are always busy taking care of their little ones.
Don't forget to rate, check-in on MomsPumpHere next time you travel out to an event venue and have to use a nursing location during a concert!
