he said.&nbsp;<br>&#8220;I\u2019ve seen her dozens of times.&#8221;<br>Ye, 26, revealed that he had seen Taylor Swift in concert 43 times after most recently attending two of her Los Angeles shows, on Aug. 8 and 9.<br>The superfan was also able to attend eight previous Eras Tour concerts, including the opening shows in Phoenix, Philadelphia, Boston and&nbsp;New York City,&nbsp;he also said.<br>&#8220;I\u2019m definitely spending a bit more than I should,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;<br>&#8220;It\u2019s been five years since she\u2019s toured, so it\u2019s OK \u2026 My bills are paid.&#8221;<br>He added, &#8220;There\u2019s been a lot of new music, so it\u2019s a big deal.&#8221;<br>Ye admitted that affording the Eras Tour has been &#8220;a lot easier&#8221; for him than during past tours, when he &#8220;really couldn\u2019t afford it.&#8221;<br>&#8220;But I was running up credit cards anyway,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;<br>&#8220;Those are paid off now, fortunately.&#8221;<br>Ye revealed that he &#8220;fell into&#8221; becoming a Swiftie after listening to her music frequently \u2014 and now he tunes into every Eras Tour concert via livestream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">&#8220;I know all the songs,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I can sing them all perfectly now \u2026 [In] the past few months, she has definitely been a big part of my life.&#8221;<br>During the 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour, Ye said he was able to meet Taylor Swift\u2019s parents, who were in the crowd on the night of the concert he attended.<br>&#8220;They are the&nbsp;best parents&nbsp;that anyone could ask for,&#8221; he said.<br>Ye said he went on to show Swift\u2019s dad the two Taylor Swift-inspired tattoos he has on his body \u2014 one of Taylor Swift wearing a unicorn onesie and another of her riding a unicorn cat.<br>&#8220;I\u2019ve not met Taylor herself yet,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But that\u2019s the dream.&#8221;<br>The super Swiftie shared that he has made Swift a &#8220;constant part&#8221; of his life due to the dedication she shows her fans as well as her passion for her art.<br>&#8220;I just want [Taylor Swift] to know that [I] and all her other fans are going to stand by her,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;<br>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to be here forever \u2026 for as long as she continues to make music and perform.&#8221;<br>He also said, &#8220;I just want her to keep doing what she&#8217;s doing.&#8221;<br>Swift just closed out her 20-city odyssey in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, on Wednesday, August 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/lifestyle\/taylor-swift-superfan-spent-nearly-9k-attend-10-eras-tour-concerts-big-deal\">foxnews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that Swifties would give a lot for \u2014 and have given a lot for \u2014 a seat at an&nbsp;Eras Tour concert.One&nbsp;Taylor Swift superfan&nbsp;especially took the fandom up a notch after he spent about $8,800 to attend 10 concerts across the United States.Anthony Ye of Astoria, New York, told Fox News Digital that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":16807,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1154],"tags":[21601,21602,10431],"class_list":["post-16806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-trending","tag-eras-tour-concert","tag-super-fan","tag-taylor-swift"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16806"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16808,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16806\/revisions\/16808"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ustower.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
