celeb news Philippines plans to build stadium by 2028 to hold Taylor Swift concerts

[Feanor]

Her power.

[vale9001]

Fun thing knowing Taylor (as it was supposed to be the announced Lover tour after the Rep tour) for the next tour she will probably make something very different from a grand scale stadium show, would only feel "less eventful and already seen" than what was a 20 years greatest hits tour. So not a stadium tour

Not that it matters because your statement would be trash regardless. But I'm genuinely curious what race/ethnicity behind your screen is emboldening you enough to make a post like this. 

 

OT: About time they get a venue that can host big-sized stadium shows and events if they wanna compete with other countries in that region.

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

Wait maybe I got it wrong but is this build like with tax money? They will never ever fill that stadium with anything else than Taylor. I didn't mean it as an attack on Taylor or her fans, but building a Stadium only for that seems a bit too much.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coldplay tickets average $160 there for their last concert. How could that not be profitable? You realize that's probably more than The Eras in South America, right?

She will be forgotten by 2028

Not even BTS or Blackpink, but Taylor? Hilarious.

Philippines loves MUSIC. There's no skin color attached to it.

[Princess Aurora]

Taylor's impact OMG 

[Polgg48]

honestly love to see it happen with due time and rebuild their reputation for once. like, be serious please

[burninredhot]

It's nice that they're doing this but Tay deserves some lashings for not touring there for more than a decade even after all the love they've shown her

I could see American and other western artists choosing the Philippines in the future to supplement Japan and Singapore.  East Asia is a bit tricky for touring because the costs (you can't drive from one place to another) and politics and logistics (China, Taiwan, conservatism in Malaysia and Indonesia.  I'm also pretty sure there is not a strong network of your logistics in places like India and Vietnam.)

Well will BLACKPINK even still be together by 2028?

No impact they said…

Deranged but a stadium is a stadium. This is a nice marketing claim though, very Swift.

Taylor getting dragged out of a semi-retirement to do a 13 show residency to celebrate the opening of this stadium in 2028.  

[UnusualBoy]

I mean it's not like the stadium will only be used for Taylor so not sure why people are complaining

That's very Taylor Swift of her

[SimpleKindofLife]

I understand the American obsession with her but I really can't comprehend how all these international countries can relate to her and her music.

Have you ever listened to OPM (Filipino music)? It's mostly very similar to her style. In addition, she's the EXACT unreachable beauty standard that part of the world obsesses over.

In a quickly developing country of 100 million?
 

I don't see any reason to believe it won't be a rational investment
