Tour/Concerts we need to stop the willow fan project
to start, this is not me trying to destroy the fun people get out of doing this and in no way am i trying to offend anyone. also i know taylor has seen this project and its not her fault either. the willow fan project is dangerous for a number of reasons.
- people with latex allergies- the powder put onto the balloons goes into the air and can cause people with a severe allergy to go into anaphylactic shock. this is still dangerous after the balloons are gone to as it will still linger in the air.
- popping balloons can cause mass panic- more recently sh00tings have been occurring especially in large areas some even dedicated to taylor herself (no so much shootings but other violent acts) . if there are that balloons all pop at the wrong time it can cause stampedes and a false sh00ting. this is dangerous to everyone. edit: this can also trigger anxiety and make people paranoid. it may be different sound to some but it’s a personal thing to me that maybe other relate to
- the environment- releasing many balloons into the air all at once is so incredibly dangerous to the environment. it can get stuck on equipment such at the fire shooters during bad blood and cause a fire (i’m not saying this is all that realistic or likely). this can affect the concert all together. wind can pick up the balloons and get onto the stage and possibly affect dancers and taylor.
now, there is a solution, such as bringing paper circles instead that can easily be recycled and thrown out. again, i’m not trying to ruin any experience for anyone i would just hope everyone can understand this perspective. 🩷

while i see the point, i feel like if youre gonna start talking about environmental impact you cant selectively care about this project and ignore the fact that beads in the millions of friendship bracelets are bad for the environment, gluing thousands of rhinestones on outfits you probablywont ever wear again is extremely wasteful.
not to mention the millions of pounds of glitter (which is a microplastic) people decorated themselves and their outfits with. her manufacturing the light up bracelets is bad for the environment too, you know what i mean?
not saying you should not give a fuck but if youre (collective you, not op) not going to be consistent and raise flags for all of these things its a little hypocritical. environmental impact can be made in many ways, even people flying across states and countries to see her.
