celeb news Phoebe Bridgers: “Beatles & MJ have nothing on The Era’s Tour”

[Jessie]

In raw numbers it’s up there, but thankfully I don’t look to numbers alone to determine what I think was a better pop culture moment between the trailblazing Thriller that electrified what pop could be and the gormless Eras Tour which showed all the banana slipping, “relatable” ways it shouldn’t.

[Bad_vocal_technique]

Well…. The fact that she was invited to open for her kinda affects the validity of her opinion a little bit..

Omg ppl need to STOP saying things like this!!! I'm a swiftie, and have never been to a Beatles/MJ concert, but stil, stop comparing her to legends that even Taylor herself considers as idols. Why can't we wait 10-30 years so we can more accurately look back on her legacy. Maybe then we can start saying comments like this   (or maybe not since most of y'all might be in nursing homes by then)

We’re 17 years in girl, how much more proof is needed? She could stop tomorrow and she’d be up there with them 💀

[iamanearthling]

Truer words have never been spoken 

[Sabrina Carpenter]

facts

 

Taylor's better than the Beatles and MJ combined so...

[flashfox]

Michael Jackson made thriller so she’s wrong.

[UnusualBoy]

The flop is reaching.

[Gossip_Boy]

If it's one thing these white women will be, it's completely and utterly delusional.

[Pheromosa]

as someone who does not care for MJ because Janet is vastly superior and doesn't like the Beetle guys either, she might have spilled

SCREAM 

[MonsterJohn]

How about vocal and dancing? Or Taylor minions are continuing to brag about the dollars as usual?

[Elusive Chanteuse]

This is really too much..... like really?

[Phaunzie]

I'm so happy she wanted to share her opinion with us.  Truly a valid point with so much proof, how can we refute such a claim. I guess walking on tour and pointing is best thing she has ever seen on stage. She is right, M.J certainly can't perform as good as our park and bark queen Taylor. How white of her honestly.

Can we stop comparing Taylor to the pedo please 

[Kimi]

She really wants that feature 

[Harrier]

The girl had to pick two of the very, very few cultural phenomena that actually outrank the eras tour  

MJ sold 70 million copies of one album when there were 3.5 billion fewer people in the world then there are now, there is simply no comparing any one era to Thriller 

[Joyride]

she ain't lie i mean this icon alone made the tour 100x better

[Jay07]

So I assume this person lived through Beatlemania and Thriller to make such a judgement? Or is she just another member of her "squad" trying to suck up by diminishing the work of an actual trailblazer, the first black entertainer to be played by MTV? 

 

[poki]

An indie-folk white girl trying to come for MJ bffr

yeah

 

she is right but not the right time to say this

in 10 years when look back, people will admit this more naturally

[blackoutbritney]

The blatant ass kissing by every single person in the media to get brownie points from taylor and her rabid fans is far too much. Taylor’s success is amazingly impressive and can stand on its own without constantly being compared to with other successful black artists (ie: beyonce, MJ) or legacy acts such as Madonna and Beatles. The fact of the matter is that while Taylor’s tour maybe a huge spectacle for the fans she does not possess half of the stage talents that MJ did in his prime so this statement is categorically null.

[DeadInside]

She's right, and she didn't have to m0lest a child to do it! 

[GraceRandolph]

How come no one can ever compliment Taylor without bringing down another artist?

[spree]

I still have yet to see a performance from the Eras Tour that is a "must see" and puts her up there with the best performers of all time.  There is a lot of spectacle cuz there is a lot of money.  And that's ok.  But let's not pretend she is even remotely close to Michael Jackson or the Beatles.   Strutting back and forth on the stage with huge spectacle behind you doesn't equate to the best tour ever.  I applaud her work ethic tho and such a huge setlist.  That's commendable. 

[Devin]

time to delete her streams on my lastfm cause wtf.
