Taylor Swift’s Miami concert at Hard Rock Stadium turned into a bit of a headache for former NFL star Kyle Long. The retired offensive lineman, who spent seven years with the Chicago Bears and was a three-time Pro Bowler, attended the show with his wife on Friday night as part of Swift’s highly successful Eras Tour. However, their night took an unexpected turn when they encountered an uncooperative fan.
Upon arriving at their seats, Long discovered that another attendee had taken their spot and was refusing to move. Frustrated, Long turned to social media, posting a plea for help on X (formerly Twitter).
“Hey @HardRockStadium, my wife and I bought tickets for the Swift show tonight, and we got here and someone is sitting in our seats – they won’t leave,” Long wrote. He added a lighthearted warning about his wife’s growing impatience: “My wife is gonna go bananas shortly. Just getting your security ahead of it.”
Long’s post quickly gained traction as fans empathized with his situation, but it also highlighted the packed and energetic atmosphere of Swift’s Eras Tour, which has been making headlines for its sold-out venues and record-breaking success.

The Miami concert was part of Swift’s continued tour after a two-month break, drawing thousands of fans, including some famous faces. Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, brother of Swift’s current boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was in attendance with his family.
Their mother, Donna Kelce, also attended the concert, as reported by TMZ. Donna has been spotted at several Swift performances as Travis and Taylor’s relationship continues to make waves in both the sports and entertainment worlds.
Kyle Long’s brother, Chris Long, also has a connection to the Kelce family. Chris played alongside Jason Kelce during his two seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, adding another layer of connection between the former NFL players in attendance.
Despite the seating hiccup, the Swift concert remained a star-studded event, and Kyle Long’s playful social media post showcased his sense of humor amidst the minor chaos.
As the Eras Tour continues to capture attention with its electrifying performances, even NFL stars are finding themselves in the midst of the Taylor Swift fan frenzy.
