WATCH: I started having contractions at a Taylor Swift gig but I was having so much fun I danced through the pain

A Taylor Swift megafan who attended the star’s show nine-months pregnant went into labour at her concert but decided to stay to the end of the gig. Jenn Gutierrez, 31, was 38 weeks pregnant when she flew a whopping 412 miles from Canberra, Australia, to Melbourne, to see her favorite artist perform.

Clearly towing the line by attending the concert near her due date Jenn, her husband Michael Sin, 31, and twin sister Dani – who all paid $600 AUD (£311) for VIP tickets – said they would stop at nothing to experience the megastar’s Era’s tour. But barely an hour into the concert and while dancing a jig, Jenn was struck down with labor pains.

In a video of the crazy moment, Jenn can be seen taking deep breaths before eventually continuing on with her two step. Jenn, an executive assistant, described the moment as ‘euphoric’. She said: ‘I thought ‘I’m not going anywhere. If this baby comes she coming out now. ‘The contractions got progressively worse. In the Mid-nights set [the last of the evening] I thought “OMG, I’m going to have this baby right now”.

‘I was so shocked. I was a bit taken back. My twin sister was next to me monitoring me. My husband was keeping an eye on my heart rate on my Apple watch. ‘It was a euphoric experience’. Jenn and Dani have always been big Taylor Swift fans and couldn’t believe it when they bagged VIP tickets on the third day of ticket releases in November 2024.

Despite being nine months pregnant Jenn was cleared to fly six days before the show, but she had prepared to do the eight-hour drive if not. Jenn, Michael and Dani flew out on the morning of the show and got glammed up in cowboy boots and sparkles for the big event. But an hour into the concert and just as Taylor Swift began performing songs from her Reputation album, Jenn felt sudden contractions.

The contractions continued for the rest of the gig however Jenn somehow managed to keep dancing and singing through them. Looking back, Jenn admits she was ‘cutting it close’. ‘We were doing the maths and we didn’t think I was going to be that pregnant initially’ she recalled. ‘We then realised we were cutting it close [but] we were adamant about going.

‘No way we were going to miss the show. I hope the girls behind me didn’t think I’m not a real Swiftie because I kept sitting down’. Things went from bad to worse as by the end of the show Jenn was struggling to stand and walk. ‘I felt the baby on its way out because she was so low’ she said. ‘Imagine standing for three hours with a bowling ball between your legs. I waddled out of the stadium’.
