Former NFL star Kyle Long was among those in attendance at Florida's Hard Rock Stadium on Friday night as Taylor Swift began the next leg of her Elas Tour.
Long's night didn't start as planned. He wrote to X that he and his wife were having trouble with people on set at the venue.
“Hey, my wife and I bought tickets to tonight's Swift show (at Hard Rock Stadium) and when we get here, there's someone sitting in our seats, and they're not leaving,” said the three-time Pro Bowl. Tackle wrote to X. “It's going to get dangerous soon. Just make sure you're safe before that happens.''

Hard Rock Stadium reached out to Long at the X and it appears they have a solution.
Long further elaborated on the experience in a post Saturday morning.
“This is where you sit when you arrive at the suite,” he wrote. “Actually, it was just a few moms with young girls. That crowd has such a strong arm that you can't go there. I contacted the customer experience team and they told me that these seats… I was told there was a first-come, first-served policy. It's criminal, to be honest.”
“I have multiple injuries to my lower extremities and cannot stand for 5-6 hours straight. I needed a seat, so I contacted ticket services and they moved me to a club level seat. This was a great solution, no problem, same amount as my investment in Sweet Tix. ”

Long certainly praised Swift's performance, but wondered if she was “running routes” with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, in preparation for it.
“Taylor Swift's concerts are like marathons for viewers, and she has to run routes with Travis in the offseason. She's off the charts, which is impressive. “I spend more time on tasks than Travis Hunter,” he added.
Swift's concert filled the stadium.
