Yes, you are.

[piotrert]

they deserve it. it's taylor's nation after all

[rhaenyra]

The white worshipping in the Philippines is still quite rampant I see

[Kavish]

Someone tell them that her downfall is imminent and will only tour school gymnasiums in the future. 

 

[on the line]

Now that's a real ******* legacy.

[Devin]

imagine if she cant sell out the venue in 2028.

The race policing of who can listen to who is still quite rampant on ATRL I see.

They don't have a stadium so no

[wastedpotential]

nnn not y'all already finding reasons to be mad about this 

 

Call it "white worship" (which removes any agency from people who just happen to... like her music but whatever), but the demand is absolutely there for a venue like this. Taylor could do 10+ show residencies and generate hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue, let alone other concerts from big acts there like Coldplay and Kpop groups and then also literal sporting events, which would make the one stadium in a country of over 100 million people a successful venture 

 

Stadiums are a wise investment, and it's good to see the Philippines choosing to make it.

As if they didn't have way more important priorities

Genuinely asking, how so? Not trying to fight, just to understand.

Yeah, like doing all of that just for a few concerts from Taylor? Their return of investment is gonna be on the pits in the long run

[truthteller]

corruption scandal in 3 2 1

[byzantium]

I see OTHs are malfunctioning because they cannot handle the cognitive dissonance of Taylor having global impact and legacy.  

[mael]

IMPACT, none of that "vibez"

Surely you realize they're... not only doing this for Taylor concerts, right? That's just a standard of readiness and scale, not the entire purpose of the venue

isn't that only an "excuse" for them to build a stadium and after Taylor does her first concert there, maybe do more events? 

[305]

And people still want to deny her impact  THIS is real world impact you freaks

The project is titled after Taylor's coming because she's the biggest artist there by a huge margin, but do you really think that they're building a stadium only for her to come? 

 

This will make it more appealing to hold international events in the country and bring in more business. Let's use our brains

It's more likely that she'll still be able to sell out venues but will ignore this one in particular because the Philippines are not a very profitable market.
