At Taylor Swift's first Eras Tour concert in Los Angeles, a star-studded crowd gathered, eagerly anticipating both the opportunity to mingle and the spectacle of the show. Actress Brie Larson captured the lively atmosphere in a video shared on her Instagram Story, showcasing the excited crowd and her exclusive VIP seating.
At the Thursday, August 3, concert, the 33-year-old Oscar winner excitedly showed the camera two A-listers, Sarah Paulson and Lupita Nyong'o, whom she had exchanged beaded friendship bracelets with. Larson screamed "Thank you!" as Paulson, 48, placed a bauble with a Midnights theme on her wrist. Nyong'o, 40, followed suit, causing Larson to continue her shrieking in excitement.
The trio individually attended the concert with their own friends, but they all rendezvoused in the Casamigos-branded tent. Larson and Paulson chose stylish black outfits, while Nyong'o stood out in a vibrant pink two-piece.
Brie Larson, Sarah Paulson, and Lupita Nyong’o attended Thursday's event at SoFi Stadium. It was a first-time experience for both Swift, 33, and Nyong'o, who had never witnessed the pop star perform live. Notably, this was also Swift's inaugural sold-out show at the Los Angeles venue, with five more shows still to come.
"If one of my friends (that would be me, hello) was getting ready to attend the Taylor Swift Eras Tour this August, what advice would you offer?," Nyong'o stated in an Instagram video on Tuesday, August 1st. "I mean, she will be experiencing the magnificent lights, stunning gowns, and the entire spectacle for the very first time. And she will be going alone, my dear friends."
Prior to their meeting in the tequila company's VIP box, Paulson had liked the post a few days earlier. While waiting to enjoy Swift's sensational musical performances, the group even had the opportunity to indulge in shots of Casamigos' offerings.
Larson, Paulson, and Nyong'o were not the only well-known individuals in the crowd at the concert. Stars such as Sofia Carson, Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag, Ashley Tisdale, Jenna Dewan, and Hayley Kiyoko - who attended with her girlfriend, Becca Tilley - also thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the Thursday show.

Vanessa Bryant took her daughters Natalia, 20, and Bianka, 6, to see Taylor Swift. During the Red section of the show, Bianka was selected to receive Swift's "22" hat, much to Vanessa's delight. Vanessa, who is the mother of the girls and was married to the late Kobe Bryant, expressed her love for Taylor Swift in an Instagram post, sharing a photo of Bianka embracing the singer. It appears that Vanessa's youngest daughter, Capri, 4, was not present.

After Swift's departure from the stage, the group of stars each held onto their own memories of the show. Nonetheless, Paulson received an additional surprise. "I unintentionally brought home a piece of confetti from Eras. And now, it belongs to me," she expressed on her Instagram Story.
