GoodGuyGoneGhetto Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Why is it always the same two Swifties running in every thread and making it about their fave? Aren’t ya’ll tired? Even other ”certain” Swifties have calmed down in recent years and moved on… 17 minutes ago, lonnie said: We don't need to agree to disagree on anything really. It's really clear that the swifties were spoiling for a fight and got one. That post (picture together with the commentary) was a dig that got the reaction that the swifties wanted and here we are arguing for pages and pages just like swifties like. I genuinely believe that y'all love to argue, because how else are y'all going to brag about your fave's successes, I might have a bit more respect for y'all if you'd admit to that than argue over the semantics of what's considered within the framework of the discussion. Swifties saw an opportunity to take a dig and did so and got the same argument thrown back to them. But let's not act like that picture wasn't and isn't commonly used as a dig Exactly. The conversation surrounding Rihanna has always been the same with them, especially the ones you’ve been going back and forth with. I sort of miss the OG Swifties (PeterStyles13; Willam) who arguing with was actually fun and interesting. 1

I’m pretty certain she can sell out in the US as well based off superbowl hype. The numbers proved it When was this?
Sannie Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Weirdly enough, I think her absence from music would help her. If she came back with a banger and a perfectly organized campaign, she could do a stadium tour. If she had not taken a break from music, I would think the opposite.
javieraloud Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 I don't think so, she always struggled to sell out arenas back in the day.

I presume in 2013, when she sold out the FNB stadium in South Africa x2 (the largest stadium in continental Africa), Twickenham stadium x2 (the 2nd largest stadium in the UK and the 4th largest in Europe) and others ala. Stade De France, San Siro, Westfalonstadion etc… All at the age of 25. Nobody said Rihanna was a touring force (overall) on the same level of Swift, she clearly peaks massively high in some countries/regions and a little lower in others but all artists do.

I truly can't take that member seriously acting like they don't understand what's going on. Like if y'all wanted to argue, y'all wanted to argue plain and simple 8 minutes ago, Feanor said: You think it's semantics, I think that Swiftie just replied to the question of OP. So I guess we just perceive the severity of the situation differently. Especially because just two posts below the one with the picture, someone from another fanbase pointed out the same thing, about how Rihanna had her struggles with the stadium dates at her last tour, and no one split hairs over that post. So I don't see that picture being a dig in this scenario when 1. it's suitable to the question the thread raises and 2. the point that the image represents or even the images themselves have been shared by members of other (1) fanbases (2) too. I don't think you realize that you posting a link to a post by a troll account whose whole purpose on this site since they joined is to troll Rih/the navy doesn't really help your case here. @Beyonceist is a strange account that not even the hive takes seriously or claims I will say however unlike the swifties that account is honest about their dislike/hatred/trolling and doesn't try to act like they're anything other than what they are 1

That user has on this site since 2011 (I’d been lurking ATRL since 2009) and, strangely, became an ORH around the mid-2010’s and has been dragging her ever since. Not even the Hive takes that person seriously! Edited October 23, 2023 by GoodGuyGoneGhetto 1
rihannafan Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 She already did a European stadium tour so yes

I only see what's being posted here. Just how I only saw a Swiftie share their opinion on Rihanna's touring power (as this topic was raised by the OP) and using an image to support their claim and that somehow triggering people when it directly relates to the topic on hand? I don't know what kind of grand "Swifties have it out for Rihanna" conspiracy you are choosing to believe it, but someone giving an answer (one that was reiterated by another member besides Beyonceist, mind you) to what was being asked certainly does not qualify as "dislike/hatred/trolling", otherwise we'll have to call out every single ATRL member as a hater whenever they reply to a thread topic… 2

But that was not very early into her career. That’s what had me askew. It was phrased as if within her first 3 years whereas she was closer to the 10 year mark. It’s a flimsy embellishment.
Feanor Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 And what makes all this even more bizarre is that @wastedpotential isn't even arguing in this thread. They came, they answered the question that was being asked of them with their opinion and that was it. You'd think if they wanted to argue, they would participate, but all they did was share their opinion, and somehow that's this massive dig at Rihanna that's supposed to cause people to argue… 1 2

Well… The only Pop acts I know that were selling out genuine stadiums 3/4 years into their careers is Madonna (1987) and The Beatles (1966). Edited October 23, 2023 by GoodGuyGoneGhetto

She was only 25 and became the youngest artist to sell out some of the biggest and most prestigious stadiums in Europe, is that not an achievement to you ? 1
KOMH Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 3 hours ago, Artistofthedecade said: Taylor played 2 shows in Ireland during Reputation tour, first female artist to do so. She sold most amount of tickets for a female artist ever back then. Some artists were struggling with their first show in Dublin and Hamburg and Frankfurt and Amsterdam Looks like Brexit was hitting mainland Europe hard as well I'm weak at Navys gaslighting everyone into believing it was just Wembley when she had an entire leg of unsold shows in North America. Disastrous doesn't even begin to cover it. No wonder she retired shortly thereafter. Pictured: another female artist who managed to score a $200M tour before Rihanna 2 1 1
rihannafan Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Swifties posting pictures of rihanna pulling tens of thousands of people in stadiums at a time Taylor couldn't even fill a bathroom in mainland Europe 5 1
FolkLover1989 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Comparing Taylor with 3 albums in that too branded country with Rihanna 6-8 albums in with numerous pop hits lol

FolkLover1989 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Using Taylor country career to say against her touring power in EU is funny considering even then Taylor could fill arena/stadium in Asia which Rihanna can't do even now

Taylor hasn't been 100% country since 2007. Hang it up. Rihanna was filling 80k stadiums around the world since 2013. I'm glad Taylor is doing it now but some people have BEEN doing it. Stadiums in south Africa. The biggest rock in rio set ever. 150K audience in Morocco. Etc. Her touring power in the US is medium but in Europe and everywhere else she is pretty strong. So I don't see the point of posting vague pictures from 2016 when in places where Taylor was not big enough to tour at the time. 1
FolkLover1989 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Anyways there is no need to fight over this idk
