An Australian woman is upset after one of her bridesmaids revealed that she was going to attend aTaylor Swiftconcert on the day of her wedding.
One bridesmaid in particular faced the same choice: attend her best friend’s wedding or the Eras Tour. And she picked Swift.
In December, the bridesmaid secured tickets to Swift’s concert on Feb. 17, the date of her best friend’s wedding. Now, with the nuptials just three weeks away, she calledFifi, Fev & Nickon Monday to break the news to the bride.
Before the bride-to-be joined the call, the bridesmaid said she has not yet revealed her concert plans — which she made before Christmas — because she knows “how annoyed” her friend is going to be, since several other guests have also flaked to attend the show.
“She’s been talking about it for the last two weeks, about how Taylor’s ruining her wedding and I’ve been like, ‘Oh no, it’s all good,’” she told the hosts.
Then, the bride joined the call, telling the hosts how “excited” she is for her upcoming nuptials, and the bridesmaid had to break the news.
“I haven’t told you that I got tickets for the Saturday and this was done before Christmas,” she told the bride, adding that she “was thinking of trying to compromise” where she leaves the ceremony early and returns to the reception after the show.
“Is this a prank? Are you joking?” the bride asked, and her bridesmaid responded: “I feel really bad, I do. But you know I have loved Taylor for so long, you are aware of this. And you knew how hard it was to get tickets.”

The bride went on to express frustration that the bridesmaid has been holding onto this information since December, and her ceremony is now less than a month away.
“So you want to miss a part of my wedding to go to a Taylor Swift concert?” the bride said. “You know how much this has been annoying me that people have been dropping out to go to her, and you’ve known all along that you’re going to go to her concert?”
“I know, I sound like such a bad friend,” the bridesmaid admitted.

After host Fifi Box intervened, the bridesmaid, who seemed to be crying, said she knows “how much this wedding means” and has tried to tell the bride but got “anxious.”
“I don’t even understand, though, like you’ve gone and bought tickets on my wedding date,” the bride responded. “I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be mean right now but I think I’m just angry before I’m even upset right now because I’m so stressed. It’s three weeks out.”
“I want you there next to me on my day and you’re not going to be there,” she added.
After the bridesmaid rejected the idea of skipping Swift’s concert — calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity — and tensions peaked, the call ended with the hosts deciding it best to resolve the conflict off of the air.
