I understand why people like her music

What I don't understand is why they are willing to spend upwards of $1000 to see her in the nosebleeds at a football stadium which is the literal worst place to actually listen to the music. Which you probably can't hear anyways because 70k white women are screaming and singing louder than the PA

My oldest granddaughter is in her second semester at A&M and she has two girl buddies that are high school seniors and they both will be attending A&M in the fall. The three of them bought tickets to see TS in Arlington (or somewhere up there) in early April. Sunday night concert. I was worried about them trying to come home late Sunday night or early Monday, so I decided to get them tickets for the Saturday night concert, same location, and they could drive back on Sunday,

I have it in my mind I am going to get them really nice seats, right up in the front area, and, if they were available, some back stage passes. Do it up right kind of thing. I don't go to many concerts any more but when I have I have always attempted to get really good seats. As you say, I don't get spending $1,000 to sit half the world away from the stage.

I go online, start searching for tickets being resold. There we some at $3,000, or $9,000 for the three girls. Well, I love my granddaughter, but that was not going to happen. I sure wish I could sing. Or convince others that I could.

In 1989, a bunch of 40/50 year olds were probably asking what was the big deal about Madonna. If you have to ask, it probably means you're old.

I don't question her talent.

But if you want to impress me change up the set list every night

---

She's playing 45 songs a night. Don't think there is a whole lot to change up.

Well she has about 220-230 total songs in her catalog. But the tour has most of the hits. There are a few songs I wish I'd gotten to hear live but overall she does a great job covering her bases.

Dolly Parton is little more than a fat set of fake old tits and Ted Nugent is a weirdo and fake patriot hypocrite who purposely **** his pants in order to get out Vietnam.

---

Or so he claims.

Or so the Germans would have us believe.

The Germans that bombed the moon?

All I know is her current album sucks. My daughter insists on listening to it and it's horrible. So much stupid talk singing...not catchy.

Most of you stand up to watch the boring ass Aggie band do the same drills every game but think Taylor Swift sucks.

What of it? The FTAB is far more interesting.

I love the Aggie Band but the current Eras tour is one of the most entertaining shows I've ever been to. The set pieces, tech, props, costumes, etc, were incredible.

Everyone was given a light up wristband that could display multiple individual lights and patterns. The show runner could then control each individual wristband to incorporate them into the show lighting. That meant they could use the entire stadium as a drone display and create patterns in the crowd.

At 44 songs, it never felt like dragged on either

Taylor swift is very meh

I'm old. The Madonna phenomenon in the 80s was pretty crazy.

I like some of her pop stuff. It is catchy. She's wildly talented and in a very small group of people alive that continually write their own music that is enjoyable to the masses. As a professional musician (her not me) I have the utmost respect for her talent.

99% of pop stars are little more than The Brady Bunch's "Johnny Bravo".

Personally though her emotional maturity is perma-set on mental midget.

Plus, Madonna was able to lose her Detroit white trash accent and pick up a refined British accent the minute she stepped foot in London.

not a fan at all but this photoshop from twitter has infected my brain

I’m still thinking about Taylor Swift with a BBL

You hoes lucky she didn’t get one or she’d be unguardable pic.twitter.com/ZwylUHcC0S

Got my third show of this tour under my belt last night. What she pulls off on that stage is incredible. It's an incredible spectacle and people who still doubt her talent are willfully ignorant at this point.

This whole time I thought you were a male poster

---

Especially after their post theorizing a ***** can't tell the difference between a male butt or female butt

Has her live singing improved over the years? I remember hearing her "sing" on an awards show, auto tune was definitely her friend. She has had some really good songs and they sounded great on the radio/CD but she lacketh live.

I was thinking there was a performance at the People's Choice Awards and maybe that is out there too. This one is Grammy's.

Taylor isn't on pitch the whole time.

Is it really all about the lyrics?

Taylor Swift is everywhere. I can't remember a pop star who has had this many people acting the way they are about her tour/music.

---

Why is anyone obsessed with Taylor Swift???!!!

Ghost of Bisbee said:

Her music just isn't good

---

Music is very subjective. I many not like the overwhelming majority of Metallica, but that doesn't mean I think it's not good. It just isn't my favorite.

You may not like her music, but that doesn't mean it's bad. She's a talented and prolific songwriter who is wildly popular. You don't hang around near the top of the charts for 17 years if your music isn't good

As far as I know, most of her biggest songs were released several years ago before her last tour, but that tour wasn't as big of a deal as this one. Why is that? (Pent up Taylor Swift concert demand after Covid, or fans that grew up with her music are now adults with money?)

The Reputation Stadium Tour was the fifth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, launched in support of her sixth studio album Reputation (2017). The all-stadium tour began on May 8, 2018, in Glendale, Arizona, and concluded on November 21, 2018, in Tokyo, consisting of 53 shows. The tour received 2.88 million attendees and grossed $345.7 million in revenue. It marked Swift's most successful tour to-date and broke numerous boxscore records, becoming the third highest-grossing female concert tour of all time and the highest-grossing tour ever in the United States and North America.

I'm not questioning whether or not previous tours have been big, but for whatever reason this one seems to be hyped to another level. I suppose each one will just get bigger and bigger.

She looks like a ferret, sings unremarkable pop songs and sold her soul to be famous. Of course women would obsess over her.

I'm not a fan, but I appreciate that she hasn't made the news for being a world-class ***** or doing nefarious things in spite of her fame. She seems like a great role model.
