- A Southwest Airlines flight morphed into an impromptu Taylor Swift sing-along session.
- A fan posted a TikTok video of passengers belting out Swift's hit ballad "Love Story."
- Some TikTok users wished they were on the flight, but others said it "would be hell" for non-fans.
TikTok users are divided over an impromptu Taylor Swift sing-along session that broke out on a Southwest Airlines flight from Denver to Salt Lake City.
TikTok user Hannah Hazlett posted a video of a Southwest Airlines flight filled with Taylor Swift fans, many of whom were seen singing along to Swift's hit ballad "Love Story."
"We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes, and the flashback starts. I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air," belted what appeared to be more than two dozen passengers. Some people were seen turning on their phone's flashlights, like one would at a concert, while others waved their hands in the air to the music.
According to the caption on Hazlett's video, her flight to Salt Lake City, Utah was delayed — but that was made better by the plane being "full of swifties" who were on their way out of the city. This was after they attended night one of Swift's Eras Tour concert in Denver, Colorado on July 14, per Hazlett. Swift performed for two nights in Denver, from July 14 to July 15.
"We were delayed for hours and haven't taken off yet so the flight attendants noticed everyone in their merch and started played music," Hazlett wrote on TikTok.
Hazlett's viral TikTok post has been viewed more than 1.8 million times as of press time. Some Swifties said they envied the great "Eras Tour" vibes Hazlett got on her flight.
"I WANNA BE IN THAT PLANE," commented a TikTok user.
"This would make my flying anxiety disappear," wrote another TikTok user.
But not everyone was as enthusiastic about the idea of taking a flight chock full of Swifties spontaneously bursting into song.
"Imagine one guy trying to get home from a work conference," said one TikTok user.
"I mean this is great if ur a swiftie but if not this would be hell," another TikTok user commented.
Taylor Swift's record-breaking "Eras Tour" has seen fans braving long queues and sky-high resale prices just to get tickets. The tour has also resulted in booked-out hotels across the US, with fans flying across the country to watch the star perform live.
"We are known for having a good time at Southwest Airlines and by the looks of it, the passengers enjoyed a quick moment of fun with our Crew onboard this flight. We applaud our Employees and Customers for this enchanting performance and offer our apologies to any non-Swifties onboard," a spokesperson from SouthWest Airlines told the New York Post.
Hazlett and representatives for Southwest Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
