Mom goes into labor at Taylor Swift concert: ‘I started my new era’
One Taylor Swift fan got a concert experience she’ll never forget, going into labor with her first child as the show ended.
Tori Hedges attended Swift’s concert in Cincinnati on June 30. Though she was several weeks away from her due date, she was determined to make it to the concert. “We were just happy we could get down there and go, hoping that I would be able to make it, and luckily was able to make it for the most part,” she told ABC 13.
As the show ended and Hedges was walking down a ramp to exit the stadium, her water broke.
“That was when I was like, ‘I think I got to go to the bathroom,’ ” she said. “When my friend realized what was happening, she started freaking out and grabbed whoever the first person she could find.”
Hedges’ friend stopped Niko Lacobucci, who was standing outside the restroom. “She came right up to me and said, ‘My friend’s water just broke,’” Lacobucci said.

Lacobucci told WKRC she called 911 while Hedges and her friend were in shock. “She goes, ‘Should we call 911?’ and I said, ‘I already did. How do you think you’re going to get out of here with all of these people? They’re just going to open up and let you drive right through?’ ‘With an ambulance, they will,’” said Lacobucci.
The ambulance eventually made its way through the crowd and Hedges was whisked off to the hospital, where she gave birth to her son Lyle the next morning.
Hedges and Lacobucci have kept in touch over text, with Hedges sending pictures of little Lyle. “Being able to experience it, and going back to the debut Taylor days and being able to relive that was very awesome,” said Lacobucci.
Hedges says that the concert, which was part of Swift’s Eras Tour, holds a special memory for her now. “People say that I started my new era as being a new mom,” she said. “Leaving the Eras Tour and going into my new one.”
