A baby wanted to see what all the hype was about Taylor Swift’s reputation.
Swift fan Tori Hedges gave birth “not even 20 minutes after (Taylor) came off the stage when we were leaving,” she told WBTV on Tuesday.
The “Karma” singer performed in Cincinnati on Friday and Saturday, though it’s unclear which show Hedges attended.
Hedges revealed that her due date was weeks after Swift’s concert, so she thought it would be nice to attend. “We were just happy that we could go and go, hoping that I would be able to do it, and luckily I was able to do it for the most part,” the new mom said.
As Hedges and her friend left the venue, she said: “That’s when I was like, ‘I think, I think I need to go to the bathroom. “”
“When my friend realized what was happening, she started to panic and grabbed the first person she could find outside the bathroom,” she recalled. The Good Samaritan called 911 after discovering Hedges was in labor.
Hedges described Swift’s concert as “very, very awesome,” adding that the night now has added meaning.
“People say I started my new era as a mother, so leave the Eras Tour and step into my new one,” she said.

During Saturday’s show in Cincinnatti, Swift stunned onlookers with three surprise songs.
The first song was “Ivy” from the album “Evermore,” featuring Cincinnati native and The National founder Aaron Dessner.
“Over the past few years, I’ve met a collaborator that I really like…” Swift said, the crowd drowning out part of her introduction. “It’s the craziest, most wonderful thing that he’s ever come into my life. He just happens to be from Cincinnati, Ohio.”

She then brought singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams on stage for a rendition of Abrams’ “I Miss You, I’m Sorry.” Swift moved the show forward an hour due to the weather forecast, which cut Abrams’ opening act from the lineup.
For the third song, she performed “Call It What You Want”, from “Reputation”, on the piano.
