Trey Anastasio’s Daughters Attend Taylor Swift’s Dublin Show

Witnessing the unexpected convergence of Phish Phans and Swifties, fans of the renowned band Phish and pop sensation Taylor Swift found common ground this summer in a memorable crossover event. The catalyst? Trey Anastasio, the lead singer and guitarist of Phish, shared a heartwarming anecdote about his two adult daughters, Isabella and Eliza, who embarked on a journey to Europe to attend one of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Dublin.

Anastasio revealed that his daughters chose to venture across the pond to catch Swift’s show in Dublin due to the more affordable ticket prices in Europe compared to the US. Coincidentally, both Isabella and Eliza managed to secure tickets for the Dublin event through separate lottery entries, leading them to reunite at the show where a memorable mishap occurred during Swift’s performance on an elevated platform.

Reflecting on the incident, Anastasio mused about the striking parallel between Swift’s predicament in Dublin and his own experience during a Phish concert. Recalling a New Year’s Eve show in 2019 where his elevated platform malfunctioned, Anastasio found a surreal connection between his own onstage mishap and Swift’s platform mishap in Dublin. Despite the unexpected turn of events, both artists demonstrated professionalism and resilience, continuing their performances with grace.

Anastasio humorously recounted the precarious moment when he found himself hanging by a rope on a malfunctioning platform, evoking a sense of shared experience with Swift’s Dublin show. The uncanny parallelism between these incidents highlights the unpredictability of live performances and the unwavering dedication of artists to deliver unforgettable shows despite technical challenges.
