Entry #2. The Blackout

Have you ever been to a concert and cannot remember it? Like you can remember that you were there, but you don't actually remember what happened. That happened to me at the Eras Tour. I know that I went but there are parts of the show that I do not recall happening. Only when watching videos or seeing TikTok's did I being to realize, "Wait, when did that happen?" Turns out, It is a real thing that others have experienced.

So what causes us to have these lapses in our brain where we cannot remember details. Joel Stoddard, a professor at the University of Colorado, says that our brains can enter a state where it does not record memories due to its excited state. Because of the adrenaline and excitements you get when at a concert, your brain enters this state where it does not retain information. Another fan who attended the Eras tours says that she could not actually comprehend what she witnessed due to the sensory overload she received. 

While this may seem like a bad thing it depends how you look at it. This rush of excitement that you received is not a common event so it can be looked at as a good thing that affects you along with the regular concert experience.
