A Taylor Swift fanatic went viral after eating a hot dog for each "era" at one of her concerts.
Patrick Moran filmed himself eating 9 hot dogs in total to celebrate, costing him $52.65. A Taylor Swift fan who ate a hot dog at her concert to celebrate each of her eras performed at the show — nine in total — says he "definitely did not feel great" afterward.
Patrick Moran filmed himself eating a hot dog to commemorate each of the nine eras featured in Swift's Eras Tour, which has been selling out stadiums across the country since it began in March. Moran said he purchased all the hot dogs before Swift's set started, costing him $52.65 in total.
"The first few hot dogs definitely made [the show] better," he said. "Around the 'Folklore' era I'd say my experience was declining, but those are also like slow songs, so I sat for a bit to digest and then she played 'Red' as a secret song so I shot back up."
"People around me [were] confused every time I got a new [hot dog] out," Moran added. By the time the final era of the show began, Moran said he "was excited to eat the last dog."
Moran told Insider he got the idea for the stunt after he saw a girl on TikTok wondering whether there would be hot dogs for sale at the stadium. But the arena's hot dogs weren't the best, he said: the hot-dog-to-bun ratio was all off.
"I definitely did not feel great," Moran said when asked how he felt afterward. "I feel relatively experienced with hot dog consumption and think if I did it again with regular hot dogs and buns I would feel okay."

Ryan Gosling said Margot Robbie brought him a beach-related gift every day on set of "Barbie."
He's secretive about his character, saying Ken's job is "just beach."
Margot Robbie gave her costar Ryan Gosling gifts to help him channel the character of Ken on the set of the upcoming "Barbie" movie.
Gosling spoke to reporter Abby Aguirre as part of Vogue's Summer 2023 cover story on Robbie. While he was hesitant to say much about how he got into character, he did reveal that Robbie, who stars in the film as traditional Barbie, would leave "a pink present with a pink bow" addressed "from Barbie to Ken" every day during filming in order to help him "understand" the character.
He didn't say how many pink presents he received in total, but he confirmed that they were all related to the beach.
"Like puka shells or a sign that says 'Pray for surf.' Because Ken's job is just beach," the "Blue Valentine" star said, referencing a line that Ken says in the movie.
"I've never quite figured out what that means," Gosling said of the "just beach" line. "But I felt like she was trying to help Ken understand, through these gifts that she was giving."
Margot Robbie gave 'Barbie' costar Ryan Gosling gifts addressed 'from Barbie to Ken' every day during filming Robbie admitted that she struggled to figure out who traditional Barbie was as well and would sometimes ask director Greta Gerwig for help.
During one of those conversations, Gerwig pointed Robbie to an episode of the podcast "This American Life," featuring a woman who doesn't know how to be introspective.
"You know how you have a voice in your head all the time?" Robbie said. "This woman, she doesn't have that voice in her head." Robbie also explained that since Barbie, as a doll, doesn't have reproductive organs, she probably doesn't have sexual desire either.
"She is sexualized. But she should never be sexy. People can project sex onto her," Robbie explained. "Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it's fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt. NewsletterSIMPLY PUT - where we join the dots to inform and inspire you.

In 2020, Tina Turner recalled to CBS News' Gayle King how she got her iconic stage name. Turner said the moniker came from her former husband Ike Turner after the two recorded a song together. Tina Turner once recalled how she got her iconic stage name — and said it took some getting used to.
Turner, born Anna Mae Bullock, told CBS News in a 2020 interview that her former husband Ike Turner picked the stage name when the two recorded their debut single "A Fool In Love" in the early 60s.
Turner — who died Wednesday at age 83 — told CBS News' Gayle King that when the record arrived from the label, she saw the names "Ike & Tina Turner" on it and asked Ike where the name came from.
She had previously appeared on her first record as "Little Ann."
"I said, 'Who's Tina?' and he said, 'You're Tina,'" Turner recalled. What is now one of the most known and revered stage names in history was once hard for Turner to get used to, she told King. "It was really hard to say in the beginning," she said.
The two Turners became one of the most successful musical acts of the 1960s and '70s, releasing hits such as "River Deep — Mountain High" and "Proud Mary."
Turner has repeatedly recounted the domestic abuse and harrowing violence she faced from Ike in memoirs such as 1986's I, Tina. The best-selling autobiography was adapted into the 1993 film What's Love Got to Do With It starring Angela Bassett.
The music icon died on Wednesday, her family said in a statement. Tributes poured in for the legendary singer, who won eight Grammys and was dubbed the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll."
Bassett herself weighed in on the singer's death, writing in part in a statement to CNN: "Tina Turner showed others who lived in fear what a beautiful future filled with love, compassion, and freedom should look like.
Her final words to me - for me - were 'You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world.'"
"I shall hold these words close to my heart for the rest of my days," the "Black Panther" star wrote. Other celebrities who paid tribute to Turner on Wednesday included Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, and singers Ciara and Gloria Gaynor.
