I watched out of curiosity to see what is the fenomen of Taylor, knowing only few songs before.
Production of concert and movie, top notch.
Songs not so much. Honestly I wouldn't be able to distinguish one from the other if there was no pause and introduction. Most about break ups with the same music more or less, few interesting phrases from time to time. I definitely don't understand popularity, unless you're after the same song over and over again and you're afraid of something new. Take away all those incredible visual effects and you'd fall asleep standing in he stadium, certainly in front of TV.
I had more fun in the evening on live concert of old band where singer lost his voice and sang only some parts, but at least it had live music vibe to it, not strictly visual experience.
To summarise:

To summarise:
- if you're Swifty, you'll love it and it will give you something to remember your concert if you were lucky enough to get tickets (probably exactly the same songs, visuals and gestures, perfectly repeated)
- if you're not fan, you'll probably should find better way to spend 3 and half hour, maybe go see live band you adore, like I did, or watch actual movie. I'm just glad I hadn't spend extra penny to see that.
