After months of waiting, Taylor Swift's Eras tour is finally underway. And with it, casual fans and superfans alike have come out to show their support, listen to Taylor's impressive musical repertoire, and make their own dreams come true.
But none have done it quite like René Hurtado, who went above and beyond by getting married in the middle of Taylor's first stop of the tour in Arizona.
The pair tied the knot during the second show Taylor performed in Glendale, Arizona.
They were planning to get married beforehand, and then use the concert as a reception. But then, a friend suggested they get married during the concert, and the plan was set.
"It was really thrilling and exciting. I’m so glad that we did it," she said in an interview published on Monday. "It was really special, and the timing during the concert was so beautiful."
René shared that she and her wedding party, which consisted of her maid of honor and (of course) her groom-to-be, paid around $1000 each for their front-row tickets.
During the interlude in which the poem Seven plays, which happens before Taylor sings Invisible Strings. According to the Rolling Stone article, the song is important for the couple.
Prior to the concert/wedding, René's maid of honor got officiated in order to make the wedding legally binding.
René excitedly posted a TikTok showing off how she arrived to the venue in a wedding dress, with Max in his suit, and how the pair got married right in the front row of the Taylor Swift concert.
The TikTok, which was posted after the concert, ended up going viral, with over 6.1 million views in just a few days.
Fans of Taylor and followers of René alike shared their thoughts on the wedding. So many people joked that Taylor had attended René's wedding, and even performed for the newlywed couple.
In fact, even Taylor Swift herself has seen videos of the wedding that took place at her own concert.
Commenters pointed out that the moment could have only been made more perfect if Taylor had happened to play her song Speak Now at the concert. The song didn't make it to the setlist, though.
Though René posted a TikTok of her own wedding, commenters were quick to discuss how they'd actually seen it before, from the perspective of the complete strangers who happened to be there.
Videos showing the wedding have made it around social media platforms like Twitter or Instagram, with onlookers reacting with amazement over the couple's commitment.
After all, getting married at the concert of your favorite artist isn't something that happens every day.
After posting the initial video, René went back onto her TikTok account to discuss how she managed to put it all together.
Among other things, such as how she got her friend to officiate her wedding and how she had other friends attend, René explained how she'd actually gone to the night one concert, with the intention to figure out when to get married.
"My husband and I are huge Rep stans," she said. "I wanted to do it during a Rep song, if they did King Of My Heart or something like that."
René shared that, though they got legally married at the concert, she and Max will have a wedding at a later date. During that wedding René will be walking down the aisle to Invisible String, which made that moment in the concert perfect.
In another of the series of TikToks, René explained how security helped to make sure the wedding went smoothly and safely.
René showed off the pick that was given to them by the concert staff.
We wish the newlywed couple well!
