I do agree that lately the media has been out of control about her appearances, especially at Travis Kelce’s games, but I don’t think hating on her is a valid solution.
Got a tip for us?

And here he is reviewing perahps one of the greatest live performances ever:

She's a great business person. I hear she makes music too.![]()
Apple today announced that it is hosting an event called "Taylor Swift's Eras: The Experience" in order to celebrate Taylor being named the 2023 Apple Music Artist of the Year. Apple at the time said Swift had reached a "new realm of superstardom" in 2023 thanks to the Eras tour and the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version).

Apple Music is inviting "Swifties" to attend Taylor Swift Era's: The Experience in New York City on December 8 and December 9. Apple says this will be a celebration of Taylor Swift as Apple Music's 2023 Artist of the Year. Fans will be able to journey through and interact with 10 set pieces that are representative of Swift's 10 eras.
Through a link provided by Apple, Taylor Swift fans in New York can sign up to get tickets to attend, but it says that Swift will not be in attendance. Entries are available through December 2 at 11:00 a.m., and more than 50,000 people appear to have gotten in the queue to sign up for tickets.
Apple says that requesting tickets early will not increase chances for success, indicating a lottery distribution system, and that only registrations received from the Greater New York City area are eligible for selection. New Yorkers will be assigned a set time slot to visit the experience and will need to arrive during that time. It will take approximately 40 minutes to go through the Taylor Swift Experience.
Tickets cannot be bought or sold, and ID checks will make sure that the person named on the ticket is the person entering the venue.
Confirmation emails for those selected to attend will be sent between December 5 and December 6, and a Ticketmaster account is required to register.

Seriously, Apple dropped the ball here. Why didn't they capture the show using Vision Pro or some high end 360 degree cams and make the full immersive playback part of the experience. They have a relationship with Swift and could be streaming this crap years from now and selling it for much more than AMC or VOD prices.
She can sing alright. And everyone knows Joe Bonamassa can pick! If you like her version of "I would rather go blind," there a couple more just as fine. Of course Etta James (who owns the tune), and Christine McVie, on her early, early album "The Legendary Christine Perfect" (he name before she married John McVie). Worth a listen, if you can find it. The rest of the album is weak, but she tears this tune up!
I always watch concerts on live streams including YouTube. It's always free and I never have to worry about tickets or traveling. And I won't get my ears blasted with screaming fans and loudspeakers on maximum output.
As someone who is a fan of her music, I had no interest going to that tour lol. I'll just watch the film when it's on streaming.
I'm just going to leave this here. Not trying to convince anybody to listen to her, but she's legitimately talented and has a broad variety of music in different genres. Yes she is overexposed, but there's a reason for her popularity and it's not just because people are sheep. Music tastes are subjective. You don't have to like something just because it's popular, but you also shouldn't 💩 on people's music tastes. Here's a couple videos that are maybe a lil different than what the sheep critics (/j) expect from her.

Isn't this basically what happened during the 2016 elections with Donald Trump all over again? The media reports on Taylor Swift because people in general are thirsty for news surrounding her. The more people click on those news, the more the media outlets want to report on her, for the sake of clicks and views and the resulting ad revenue.
The problem isn't Taylor Swift. The problem is the means by which news outlets monetise (ad revenue). Like they say, system breeds behaviour.
Taxes gonna eat her UP.She's laughing all the way to the bank
Taylor Swift is set to make $4.1BILLION from the Eras Tour
The singer is set to take home a staggering $4.1 billion thanks to her wildly successful Eras Tour, which is the equivalent of the economic output of 42 nations as she readies for the Eras movie premiere.www.dailymail.co.uk
Because she had her own team film it and released it in theaters, making more money than she would’ve from Apple.
Highest grossing concert film of all time.
I’m an old old man with an iPhone 8 and I saw this show in the theater and it was fooking brilliant. She is the real deal. She is a true talent and a legit superstar.
Disliking something just because it is popular is just as bad as liking something just because it's popular.
We’ll I didn’t say that she dropped the ball. But she could’ve made it non-exclusive after an initial release window. After all, 3D and Vision Pro are a lot different than 2D. Some people say Vision Pro is like being there and we know how much more live tickets cost than a movie ticket or VOD stream. One could argue that Apple and Swift left an extra $250 million on the table by not working together. Maybe next time.
So money impresses you more than talent I see. Welcome to 2023.
Disliking something because it is legitimately terrible makes sense though. You have to understand in 2023, the worst performers, artists, entertainers make the most money. Sign of the times.
I'm sure you won't find her complaining too much. She gives a lot of her money away too, to charities at each tour stop and $100,000 bonuses to each truck driver on her crew.
That was pretty good!!![kanye-imma-let-you-finish.jpg]()
this brings back memories of one of the greatest meme of all time...one of the greatest meme of all time. 😁😁😁
I did promise to let you finish.😁
