Former NFL star Kyle Long was among those in attendance at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida on Friday night as Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour began its next stop.
Long’s night didn’t start as planned. He wrote on X that he and his wife were having trouble with people in their groups at the place.
“Hey Hard Rock Stadium, my wife and I bought tickets to tonight’s express show and got here and there was someone sitting in our seats – they won’t leave,” the three-time Pro Bowl champion wrote on X. “My wife is going crazy soon, just set up your security before that “

Hard Rock Stadium reached out to Long on X and it appears a solution has been reached.
Long explained the experience in posts on Saturday morning.
“The seats when we got to the pavilion,” he wrote. “It was actually a few mothers with little girls. I can’t really go there and support that crowd so hard. We contacted the customer experience team and they told us there is a first come first serve policy in these seats. It’s criminal to be honest.
“I have multiple injuries to my lower legs that prevent me from standing for 5-6 hours straight. We needed to be seated, so I called the ticket service and they moved us to club level seats – a great solution but no ways worth my investment in the Tex Suite.”

Long praised Swift for her performance and asked if she was “going knocking” with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, to prepare for it.
He added: “Taylor Swift’s concert is a marathon for viewers, as she has to hit the road with Travis in the off-season, she is off the charts impressively. She has more time on task than Travis Hunter on Saturday.”
Swift’s concert filled the stadium.
