celeb news Puck News: Taylor Swift will NOT report any 'The Eras Tour' boxscore numbers

[Feanor]

 

Quote

Taylor Swift, the pop star and American football fan, is giving the Heisman to Pollstar and Billboard Boxscore, the two major outlets that compile concert grosses. They’ve just been informed that she will not be providing data for the entirety of The Eras Tour, per sources familiar. That shouldn’t be a total shock. Swift hasn’t reported grosses so far, but artists often withhold data until the end of a tour, then dump it on the reporting outlets as a flex. Many expected Swift to do just that, especially since Eras is expected to shatter records. As of now, though, that won’t happen—even if the outlets are still holding out hope that she will change her mind. It’ll be the first time a Top 5 touring artist hasn’t provided any numbers in at least 15 years, according to two touring sources.

Quote

Tree Paine, Swift’s PR rep, didn’t respond to my email, but I’m betting the reason is that the Eras numbers are much bigger than Pollstar has estimated. [… ]And that $1.5 billion prediction is if Swift doesn’t add more shows, as she is expected to do.

Quote

As perhaps the greatest marketer in the history of the music business, Swift understandably tends to shy away from media attention about her wealth.  There aren’t any posts about her new billionaire status, of course; and her rep wanted nothing to do with the story after I reported a couple months ago about the favorable split that AMC Theaters C.E.O. Adam Aron had given her on The Eras Tour movie.

fair enough, why would she need to

[Bey'Knight]

Well that’s one less thing to worry about 

[luckythisway]

So we’ll find out in 2025?

You'd expect that numbers would not be made public if they're low. If they are indeed hiding them because of how insane they are, and that estimates are already talking about 1.5B, I wonder how much her tour is actually grossing. 

[Dear Reader]

stop being annoying @Taylor Swift 

[Johnny Jacobs]

[Jpkun]

Is she in her I don’t want people to think I’m too rich era?

[Cruel Summer]

I mean I kinda get why, but that’s… a little disappointing

 

[Klein]

Seriously though, I don't believe for a second we're never getting the boxscores from this tour. One thing that is very prominent about Taylor's marketing is that she is asserting dominance on her market, even to the point of forging it (by releasing remixes for willow for example). You want me to believe she would go out of her way to get a quick #1 hit but would not show she had the biggest tour in history? I don't buy it. 

[Ratviolo]

This is literally so annoying wtf

[Starshine]

[MoonGoodandHappy]

She said "i'm not gonna give the gays everything they want". 

[TaylorNation]

I hate her sometimes  

[vale9001]

humble 

[chiliam]

Seriously, if this was true, i would unstan her real quick, how dare she.

Its not her achievement only, its a team work, its us fans achiement also. This is like a slap to every fans attend the tour. 

 

I beg you Taylor, change your mind. Release those damn boxscore. 

[Aramis]

It's pretty obvious she'll wait to tour end tho

I'm sorry, but this can't be a serious post now, right? 

[Badgalbriel]

She's so annoying.

YAS RENAISANCE WORLD TOUR 

THE HIGHEST GROSSING TOUR BY A FEMALE ARTIST IN HISTORY 

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS 

[dussel_06]

I’m literally curious on what’s the thought process on hiding it. Like, what’s the rationale? What are they trying to achieve? Are they trying to evade taxes? Is it too low? Is it too high? Did Bey asked her to keep it a secret so she can keep the record for a year? whyyyyyyyyyy????

I won’t be sleeping tonight, it seems. 

[Solaria]

Well, Beyoncé, congratulations on having the officially documented highest grossing female tour

[HASHTAGPOW]

I smell money laundering 

[perpetual novice]

It’s a little manipulative to break industry norms on reporting your stats so you can hide your wealth from your fans to feel more relatable to them
