We need Taylor to start touring again

[hector.adriel]

If Taylor wanted to she’d take the #1 spot effortlessly with her next tour, her f*cking power

 

Also, Britney, Top 10 all time touring females, not bad for the flop ATRL claims she is  

[tiagol88]

If Madonna doesn't tour again, Taylor and Beyonce are possibly one tour away from surpassing her. 

 

But it's inevitable anyway...she'll die first so it's happening one way or another.

Wow Shakira so low, her fans always told me that she is the biggest touring force in the history of Latin America
