This couple ushered in a new era of their lives together — saying “I do” at a Taylor Swift concert in a three-minute ceremony. 

Rene Maria Avalos, 30, who goes by René Hurtado, and Maxwell P. Bochman, 32, tied the knot at the State Farm Stadium in Phoenix on the March 18 stop of Swift’s Eras Tour.

It was the perfect interlude between the pop star’s costume change following her performance of “All Too Well.”

“We knew that was the best moment,” Hurtado told the New York Times.

The couple purchased four front-row seats for around $1,000 each in Glendale, Arizona. They brought along their two friends, Alicia Witmer, who served as maid of honor and the officiant, and her fiancé, Josh Wineriter, the Times reported.

The bride wore a midi-length white satin dress and veil, the groom donned a black tuxedo and both punctuated their bridal looks with Eras Tour V.I.P. pass lanyards that landed them early admission. 

The vows were recited between the set change from Swift’s album “Red” to the “Folklore” era, and the couple exchanged rings and kissed in the three-minute milestone moment.

Hurtado shared the moment of her wildest dreams in a TikTok viewed more than 7.3 million times. 

“At first, none of the fans around us really knew what was going on, but after our first kiss, everyone burst into cheers,” Hurtado told the Times. “They really did create that moment for us by their support.”

The ultimate wedding favor? A member of Swift’s stage team gifted the newlyweds one of the singer’s guitar picks and the “Lavender Haze” singer liked a fan’s TikTok video of the wedding a day later, according to the publication.

Bochman proposed in September 2021 after seven years with Hurtado, whom he met while she was working at a Ghirardelli shop in Stockton, California.
