Going to see their idol’s concert, fans often think that it will be an unforgettable night, but the strong emotions that continuously appear will cause some people to fall into a state of… amnesia. Currently, Taylor Swift is on The Eras Tour . The number of fans who go to see the 33-year-old female singer’s shows and then return suddenly suffer from… memory loss is showing signs of increasing.

Recently, Ms. Jenna Tocatilan (25 years old) living in New York (USA) shared her story with Time magazine . She is a passionate fan of Taylor Swift. After going to see Taylor Swift’s concert, returning home, Jenna… couldn’t remember anything about the evening she spent “burning” her heart out on her idol’s show.

Jenna confirmed that the phenomenon of memory loss after the concert that some fans shared is real: “If I hadn’t appeared in the video clips that my friend recorded, I probably wouldn’t have believed that I had it.” attending a Taylor Swift show. I don’t remember much about that performance, although I’m sure I would have been excited to see Taylor Swift perform live.”

Nicole Booz (32 years old) went to see Taylor Swift’s May 14 show in Philadelphia (USA). Nicole also experienced symptoms of amnesia after returning from the concert: “I was at the performance, but what I experienced was very strange, as if I wasn’t there myself. Everything seems so magical and surreal that it’s hard to describe.”

Regarding the strange stories that some Taylor Swift fans are sharing, neurologist Dr. Dean Burnett from Cardiff University (UK) said: “When passionate fans are present at her music night, Imagine, surrounding them are thousands of other excited fans, they hear songs that evoke many emotions in them, at that time, passionate fans will experience many strong emotions appearing one after another.

At this time, the brain will be overloaded with a series of strong emotions appearing continuously. Experiences are recorded by the brain against a background of heightened emotions. At this point, the details of real events no longer really stand out in the background of memory. This makes it difficult for you to remember anything clear and sharp about the experience.”

Dr. Ewan McNay working at the psychology department of the University at Albany (USA) shares the same opinion as Dr. Dean Burnett. McNay added that the human brain responds in the same way to extreme emotions of excitement and extreme negative emotions of stress.

When experiencing emotional “overload”, the human brain will have difficulty creating clear memories. Therefore, after experiencing an event, people often find it difficult to remember clearly and specifically what happened.

To improve memory loss when going to see an idol’s concert, Dr. Ewan McNay said: “You can jump up and down, increase physical activity while listening to music, and at the same time reduce work. … scream with excitement. By doing so, you will be able to control your excitement better, so you will have a more realistic feeling about the experience you have had.”
