With fellow no ticket Swifties outside Beatty, @lizay.bsky.social and I are soaking it in. The BEST most joyous experience I’ve had in years. No one is drunk, no pot stench, feels so safe. Truly incredible. #VancouverTSTheErasTour

It appears they set up their account earlier than me. Went through settings, nothing there. Must be a bug…
