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… Please I just posted what I thought abut Rihanna's chances of successfully touring stadiums like Bey or Taylor or Pink and went off about my business I didn't expect this nnnnn 4
Mark Rih Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Absolutely. Y’all just have to wait and (hopefully) see 1

I'm glad Taylor is doing it now but some people have BEEN doing it.

Rihannito Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) The swifties (not all of them tho)master the art of turning every thread into a Taylor one. Do you have a life besides ATRL and hiding behind Taylor’s stats? Poor things got triggered by one article announcing Rihanna planning huge tour, they want miss swift to be the only one doing stadiums. Even Karol G can sell out stadiums in the US now. It’s not how it used to be back in the day when Madonna was the only one doing so, back when it was a one of a kind achievement. Lol. Edited October 23, 2023 by Rihannito 3 1

One of the pictures posted by your fellow swifties for example is from Amesterdam in which the audience was 50k but yeah even 8 stadiums > taylor's 0 bathrooms in Mainland Europe at the time. 1 2 1

Rihanna has reached 166.5 million in sales, while Swift has earned 137.5 million.

VerdantHue Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Just now, Artistofthedecade said: Sold out was the key word there but we can also include those 5-10 stadium shows from the Empti tour as well.

Taylor's net worth is $450 million and Rihanna's is $1.4 billion. But again, by the time Taylor PROBABLY reaches a billion, Rihanna will have a 1 followed by 12 zeros.
Happylittlepunk Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Although I have no doubt Rihanna can have sold arena shows I feel you guys always overestimate her touring power. Yeah Rihanna gets a lot hype here and there but it never translated to actual live shows well. Her touring power and numbers always seemed so low compared to her peers. Edited October 23, 2023 by Happylittlepunk
wastedpotential Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) I can't believe some of y'all are still arguing using 2011 touring numbers for European dates I know the Navy is often forced to live in the past given the way the way Rih's music career has keeled over and died 7 years ago, but Speak Now touring numbers in Europe really just show how her touring power has continued to exponentially grow to where it is today. I'd love to compare a Rihanna tour from this decade to Taylor's tour this decade (the biggest of all time with 150 stadiums in more than 20 countries on 5 continents, in case you'd forgotten), but your fave has been too lazy to step onto a stage for years now (except to model her poor-quality undergarments), and I don't think that'll change any time soon.

Actually Taylor's net worth was estimated by Forbes to be at $780M last year, but considering that she's in the middle of a billion dollar plus tour (to the point where you could triple Rihanna's total touring gross and it still wouldn't come close) that she's taking over a 50% cut from. Like, I don't know what to tell you girls, but Taylor is on a crash-course trajectory to surpass Rihanna's net worth, and she didn't even have to sell out and exploit her (dwindling) fanbase with shitty bargain bin makeup products to get there 1 1 1
Finite Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Absolutely! Especially if there a Fenty presale codes for her show, it’s a guaranteed sold out SMASH

Taylor's career total tickets sold in mainland europe before the eras tour: 76k Rihanna's tickets sold in 1 stade de france date (she has multiple, take your pick - 2016 if you want newer): 75k it's easy to pick and choose weaker categories for artists. The truth is, the touring market is wildly different now than it was before and let's just see how Rihanna adapts to that. 1
Maroonx Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 There's plenty of hype for her to return, so I think if she did a small tour around the US she'd be able to do stadiums...
cat1867 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Rihanna can have a successful stadium tour . Touring is peaking and she has tons of casual fans and hit . The number of dates and attendance will be between Gaga’s and Beyoncé’s most recent tours. She doesn’t need to do Taylor’s numbers to have a massively successful tour. The biggest issue with Rihanna isn’t demand but whether she wants to be on the road for months with two babies . She also had attendance issues in the past and I imagine it wouldn’t improve much .

Dialamba Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 I don’t know how y’all are using old touring stats when even non American artists can do stadiums in the US right now. rihanna is one of the biggest artists, it’s been 7 years since anti which was a massive success, people are eager to rih to come back regardless it’s an album or a world tour. 2
