A fan told Mirror.co.uk that she suffered multiple burns as “the metal plates that covered the floor turned into hot plates at 40 degrees Celsius”. Another fan told the publication that the conditions inside the concert venue were ‘inhumane’ as people were brushing up against each other. 

One of the Swiftie attending the concert said, “When they opened the entrance, I was pushed and fell to the ground HOT. I got two second-degree burns that wouldn't stop burning in the sun”.
