Netizens are left divided over the theatre conduct

As the video went viral, many netizens agreed with the chaos inside the theatre which disturbed the viewing experience of the fans. A fan wrote, “People were soo disrespectful like there were some that actually were kicked out of the room [because] they were being soo rude. They completely ruined a lot of [people’s] experience there.” Another user said, “I wish people would be more considerate of those other theaters and not be that loud not everyone wants to hear people screaming, and singing.” A netizen added, “This makes me so happy that the people at my screening stayed in their seats while singing and dancing. it felt amazing to be surrounded by swifties who also understood that we were still in a theater lol. wish it was the norm though :( i'm sorry about your showing).”

However, a fan did not seem to mind the scenario and said, “gorl taylor said sing and dance...don't get mad at them for following orders.” Well, the netizens are definitely in two minds about the scenario. Regarding the theatre guidelines, earlier AMC Theatres stated, “We encourage dancing and singing throughout this concert film event, but please do not dance on our seats or block other guests from viewing, safely walking or exiting the auditorium.”
