Such amazing time for her

I heard the tour will extend into 2025 too! Seems there are some rumors she will visit Asia and second leg of USA then

See, I don’t fully agree on that. If you we’re a mediocre performer you would not be on the verge of having the best grossing tour of all time. This level of demand is not only coming from her fandom but also the general public, hence the public thinks she puts on a good show. 

I agree. I have seen this tour and it’s truly an incredible show. I loved it. I’m going to see it twice more. I don’t think we should be denying her this success. It’s a massive production and it’s longer than most concerts with so many songs. It’s a real beast of a tour. Even if you don’t like her songs, I really think no one can deny the sheer ambition and scale of this tour and what she’s pulled off is amazing. Having said all that, I think at this point the unprecedented success of this tour is now feeding back on itself meaning I do know people who have zero interest in Taylor Swift but they are going to see the show because they want to be part of this record breaking event. The tour has become bigger than the artist in a way but of course the artist has become even bigger because of the tour.

No it has to do with marketing. She is not a good performer.

Most streamed artist in the world this year and highest grossing tour ever? D*mn, it's a good time to be a fan and such a drama to be a hater right now

Marketing? A better and more accurate answer would be that the music sells the tickets

Which is completely different from let's say Beyonce who sells tickets because of her performance skills

All this recent success from Taylor is truly the definition of being at the right place at the right time 

She took music >business< on another level for sure

Her music sells the tickets because of how she has marketed herself the past 15 years. If she didn't have the Kanye drama, Katy drama, Kim K drama, Spotify drama and much much more publicity stunts she wouldn't sell nearly as much as she is today. Her music is nothing special. It's all about marketing and image, that's why she is where she is.

So no, she is not a good performer and her music is mediocre at best which is a widely shared opinion.

Crazy how out of the thousands of insanely gifted performers out there, it’s Taylor fuucking Swift breaking these touring records lol 

She gave the BEST show I've ever seen (including Lady Gaga). No one is on her level.

 

So happy to see woman succeed. And she cares a lot about her artistry and her fans.

Imagine convincing yourself Taylor is huge because she deleted her music on Spotify

This amount of coping over a popstars success is concerning to say the least...

Imagine thinking you clocked someone by responding to something you don't even know the effects of.

Have you seen the Eras Tour? It's very well-constructed, it flows nicely, she plays all the hits in addition to fan-favorites, it's scripted in a way that it feels cinematic/powerful regardless if you're watching the film or a bootleg livestream. It's a solid concert

This is also particularly wild to me, when all pop girlies have had 'publicity stunts' over the years, and the namesake of this website was almost exclusively known for them in the first several years of her career. Having business savvy and knowing how to market yourself is a good trait, not a bad one.
