A woman reportedly ruined the most special moment in the lives of two teenage girls after calling them “trash”. The two Swifties shared the nine-second clip on TikTok and claimed that they were harassed by an older woman because of their skin color, on the floor of PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw.
She allegedly called them, “You guys are trash. Sorry but you look like trash.”
One of the girls, a 16-year-old named Neriya, said, “Taylor Swift would be very disappointed. I have never been harassed the way I was at the Taylor Swift concert the other night, being a teenage girl and having a group of grown women harass [sic] me and my sister for the only reason being our skin color is an experience I’ll never forget.”
