As the final ad flickered away, the theatre plunged into darkness, and a collective hush fell over the audience.
Then, loud cheers erupted, and people clapped in anticipation as the screen brought to life the woman everyone had gathered to see –Taylor Swift.
Before the first song had barely begun, people were out of their seats, jumping to Taylor Swift softly saying, “It’s been a long time coming”. For three hours, movie halls did not have even a moment of silence as people danced in the dark, waved lights and sang their hearts out. Complete strangers joined hands and made a circle as they danced to her songs.
