- A Southwest Airlines flight morphed into an impromptu Taylor Swift sing-along session.
- A fan posted a TikTok video of passengers belting out Swift's hit ballad "Love Story."
TikTok users are divided over an impromptu Taylor Swift sing-along session that broke out on a Southwest Airlines flight to Salt Lake City from Denver.
Hannah Hazlett posted a TikTok of a Southwest Airlines flight filled with Taylor Swift fans, many of whom were seen singing along to Swift's hit ballad "Love Story."
More than two dozen passengers appeared to sing, "We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes, and the flashback starts. I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air." Some were seen turning on their phone's flashlights — like one would at a concert — while others waved their hands in the air to the music.
The caption on the video said that Hazlett's flight to Salt Lake City was delayed but that it was made better by the plane being "full of swifties" on their way out of the city. This was after they attended night one of Swift's "Eras Tour" concert in Denver on July 14, per Hazlett. Swift performed for two nights in Denver, on July 14 and July 15.
"We were delayed for hours and haven't taken off yet so the flight attendants noticed everyone in their merch and started played music," Hazlett wrote on TikTok.
Hazlett's viral TikTok post has been viewed more than 1.8 million times. Some Swifties said they envied the great "Eras Tour" vibes Hazlett got on her flight.
"I WANNA BE IN THAT PLANE," a TikTok user commented.
"This would make my flying anxiety disappear," another TikTok user wrote.
But not everyone was as enthusiastic about the idea of flying with Swifties spontaneously bursting into song.
"Imagine one guy trying to get home from a work conference," one TikTok user said.
"I mean this is great if ur a swiftie but if not this would be hell," another comment read.
Taylor Swift's record-breaking "Eras Tour" has seen fans braving long queues and sky-high resale prices to get tickets. The tour has also resulted in booked-out hotels across the US and fans flying across the country to watch the star perform live.
"We are known for having a good time at Southwest Airlines and by the looks of it, the passengers enjoyed a quick moment of fun with our Crew onboard this flight. We applaud our Employees and Customers for this enchanting performance and offer our apologies to any non-Swifties onboard," a spokesperson from SouthWest Airlines told the New York Post.
Hazlett and representatives for Southwest Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside regular business hours.
