Popular Post Feanor Posted August 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) How Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour Conquered the World Quote The pop superstar’s tour, which is now finishing its initial North American leg with six nights at SoFi Stadium outside Los Angeles, has been a both a business and a cultural juggernaut. Swift’s catalog of generation-defining hits and canny marketing sense have helped her achieve a level of white-hot demand and media saturation not seen since the 1980s heyday of Michael Jackson and Madonna — a dominance that the entertainment business had largely accepted as impossible to replicate in the fragmented 21st century. “The only thing I can compare it to is the phenomenon of Beatlemania,” said Billy Joel, who attended Swift’s show in Tampa, Fla., with his wife and young daughters. Quote In a summer of tours by stars like Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Morgan Wallen and Drake, Swift’s stands apart, in numbers and in media noise. Quote The Taylorpalooza extends to every level of the news media, which began the coverage cycle by chronicling Swift’s ticketing fiasco last November, when fans — and scalpers’ bots — crushed Ticketmaster’s systems, leading to a heated Senate Judiciary hearing. Since then, seemingly no nugget of Swift news has escaped coverage, from the stars in the stands to oddities like a Seattle concert that, according to one researcher, shook the ground with an intensity equivalent to a 2.3-magnitude earthquake.

Midnights is definitely better than her other pop albums. Unless you’re referring to the re-recordings, which would be dumb to really consider now 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Very true I guess..! I've never seen her in the most important Dutch news online and on tv, but the past year I've seen her multiple times on tv items and many articles are written about her. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Solaria Posted August 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2023 Honestly what’s more baffling to me is how she is at this level of fame so deep into her career. I can’t think of many (if any?) artists that are this popular 17 years into their career 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odette Violet Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Her longevity and still be able to be at the top is truly impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 The way she’s really there without being overexposed(or at least not affected by it) is for the history books We also have to consider that she’s doing this in the 2020s where it’s almost impossible to have the same effects of monoculture. And I also think she might even outdo her current phase with TS11 considering how she knows how to capitalize on hype and repeak 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solaria Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 She’ll probably be the No.1 Artist on streaming + sales forever. I don’t think anybody can beat her anymore, considering she will always keep releasing music. She’ll probably be at album 20 in about 15 years 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
