Please... 

[Zefierce]

Are you trying to get Beyoncé dragged?

[Klein]

Definitely The Eras Tour. 

[dejmieeen]

Of course the McDonald's of music industry - artist who is very popular, but flavorless. 

Thank God we also got Beyonce's tour.

[Erreur2 La Nature]

In the real world it is the release of the two movies mentionned. In pop culture it is Taylor Swift's tour.

barbenheimer and the eras tour for the locals

 

renaissance tour for anyone with a certain amount of sophistication 

[Mitsouko]

None of these were cult omg They were mass-consumed commercial juggernauts y'all need to open a DICTIONARY. They were perhaps pop culture phenomenons but not cult in the least

Barbenheimer

[byzantium]

Being part of the GP is per se not a cult phenomenon so I guess renaissance wins by default.

Barbie, then Renaissance.  Can’t think of anything else that comes close.

And the mute challenge tour is the most local thing out of the 3 options

Do you know what cult means? The biggest cult phenomenon of 2023 was Skinamarink.

This is actually a very accurate analogy

[dussel_06]

well Taylor is Person of the Year because of the Eras Tour. No entertainer will repeat that in the next century.

[Into The Void]

Barbenheimer 

[katara]

Just Barbie. Stop tacking that other thing to it. 

[unclefloprry]

In Kentucky, Charlotte and Nashville? Eras Tour

 

in the real world? Barbie without Openjaima

This was a highly contestable decision  by TIME.  Few would dare argue that Taylor Swift is as important as world leaders and business giants worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
