Mass. woman goes into labor at Noah Kahan’s Fenway concert, names baby ‘Noah’

A month after securing tickets to a Noah Kahan concert at Fenway Park, Chloe Stanko found out she was pregnant. Her due date was two days before the show.

Stanko went to the concert on July 19 with her husband, Ben Longo, and despite Stanko feeling some back pain, the couple stayed to watch the entire performance.

Early the next morning, Noah Longo was born.

“We actually decided early on. We both just really liked the name,” Stanko told MassLive. “And then it worked out.”

Stanko is not the first woman to go into labor at a local concert — last year, a woman went into labor in the Gillette Stadium parking lot during a Taylor Swift concert.

Stanko took to TikTok to tell her story, writing, “POV the Noah Kahan concert put you into labor.” The post has amassed 1.3 million views.

“I think this means you’re required to be at the 1st birthday party,” one commenter wrote to Kahan.

It wasn’t long until the Vermont native reacted to Stanko’s post, writing, “My bad dawg.”

“No but honestly so happy for you he’s so cute,” Kahan commented.

Stanko told Masslive she is excited to tell her baby Noah about his claim-to-fame when he is old enough.

“I’m going to tell him that his very first concert was Noah Kahan,” she said. “And then, when he was a little less than a month old, he became famous from it.”
