I think it's actually very smart of her. It's better to do a few arena tours and build a loyal fan base than to do a full stadium tour too early in your career. That's basically what Taylor did, she probably could have sold out a stadium tour during 1989 or even before that, but she waited until Reputation because she knew that by that point she had enough loyal fans to sell out one. Also doing arenas first allows the artist to develop more confidence on stage. Stadium tours also require a bigger structure and logistics, which is a little more complicated if the artist doesn't have much experience.

Sis Taylor has been touring stadiums since Speak Now

Yea, I guess. The market was pretty different then. No one except like U2 and The Rolling Stones were doing full stadium tours lmao

I know she didn't exclusively tour stadiums back then but I saw Red and 1989 in stadiums.

 

 

OT: great numbers for Olivia  I don't doubt she could have done stadiums for Guts

After 95 shows across 21 countries in four continents (North America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania), Olivia Rodrigo's second headlining concert tour—the GUTS World Tour has grossed over $186.6 million and sold over 1.4 million tickets.

 

It has now become:

- the highest-grossing tour by an artist born in the 21st century (surpassing the iconic Happier Than Ever, The World Tour (2022–23; $131.7 million))

- the highest-grossing tour by a female ex-act (this is more of a stan record lol) (surpassing the iconic Sweetener World Tour (2019; $146.6 million))

- GUTS and Sweetener world tours are now the top 2 highest-grossing tours of all time, among ex-acts.

- GUTS and HTE world tours are now the top 2 highest-grossing tours by 21st century-born artists.

 

Billboard Boxscore 

 

The tour will continue in March 2025 with its final, South/Ibero American leg: a series of festival shows at Lollapalooza Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, Estéreo Picnic (Colombia), and Pa'l Norte (Mexico), till April 2025. The tour will close out with 2 shows at Co-op Live in Manchester on June 30 and July 1 (which were previously scheduled for May 2024), bringing the total to 102 shows!

 

(I believe the festival shows gross will not be included in the total tour gross/aren't considered "part" of the tour)

According to a rumours site from twitter the next color is Red and im honestly pleased if thats the one 

She's grown up now and it goes with her. Hope she's also takin notes from Taylor Swift era.
After her songwriting albums (Fearless/Speak now) taylor evolved and showed experimentation and explored pure pop music  and her rock went alternative
I want Olivia to analyze the careers of Taylor,Madonna and the rest

It doesn't count, Billie did all those LATAM festivals in March 2023 still with HTE , she also headlined  while on that tour coachela and glastonbury in 2022 and several other Festivals in 2023 ( Reading & Leeds, Rock En Seine, Lowlands , Pukkelpop, Sziget, Osheaga, Lollabapooza...)
If they all counted she had even more insane numbers.
