A mum went into labour half way through a Taylor Swift gig but managed to dance through the pain - and hold off giving birth for days.<br /><br />Jenn Gutierrez, 31, was 38 weeks pregnant when she flew 412 miles from Canberra, Australia, to Melbourne, to see her favourite artist perform. <br /><br />Despite being just two weeks away from her due date Jenn knew nothing would stop her getting to the Era's Tour with her husband, Michael Sin, 31, a public servant, and her twin sister, Dani, 31.<br /><br />But an hour in, during Taylor's Reputation set Jenn suddenly started having contractions.<br /><br />The contractions continued for the rest of the gig but Jenn managed to keep dancing and singing through them.<br /><br />They stopped after she got back to the hotel and she managed to fly back home the next morning.<br /><br />She gave birth to her daughter, now two months, a few days later in February 2024.<br /><br />Jenn, a executive assistant, said: "They started during the Reputation set. <br /><br />"I thought 'I'm not going anywhere. If this baby comes she coming out now'.<br /><br />"The contractions got progressively worse.<br /><br />"In the Midnights set I thought 'OMG, I'm going to have this baby right now'."<br /><br />Jenn and Dani have always been big Taylor Swift fans and couldn't believe it when they bagged $600 AUD VIP tickets on the third day of ticket releases in November 2024.<br /><br />Jenn said: "We were doing the maths and we didn't think I was going to be that pregnant initially.<br /><br />"We then realised we were cutting it close."<br /><br />Jenn was cleared to fly six days before the show but had been prepared to do the eight-hour drive if not.<br /><br />She said: "We were adamant about going.<br /><br />"No way we were going to miss the show."<br /><br />Jenn, Michael and Dani and her husband flew out on the morning of the show and got glammed up in cowboy boots and sparkles.<br /><br />Jenn suddenly felt the contractions starting an hour in.<br /><br />She said: "I was so shocked. I was a bit taken back. <br /><br />"My twins sister was next to me monitoring me.<br /><br />"My husband was keeping an eye on my heart rate on my Apple watch.<br /><br />"I hope the girls behind me didn't think I'm not a real Swifty because I kept sitting down.<br /><br />"It was a euphoric experience."<br /><br />By the end of the show Jenn was struggling to stand and walk.<br /><br />She said: "I felt the baby on its way out because she was so low.<br /><br />"Imagine standing for three hours with a bowling ball between your legs.<br /><br />"I waddles out of the stadium."<br /><br />Jenn got an Uber back to her hotel and managed to ease her contractions after she had calmed down.<br /><br />She said: "I sat with my legs up on the bed."<br /><br />The group flew back the next morning.<br /><br />Jenn said: "I said ' you can come' as soon as we touched down."<br /><br />Jenn gave birth a few days later to a "happy" and "healthy" baby girl weighing 7lbs 7oz.<br /><br />She said: "The first song she listened to was Fearless by Taylor Swift.<br /><br />"She is an imbedded Swiftie."
