Ok, but where's the ring? Platinum, gold, paper or otherwise?
Otherwise, zzzzzzz. |
DP. So Taylor Swift has no backing tracks at all? This newsweek article covers recent lip sync accusations. https://www.newsweek.com/taylor-swift-eras-tour-lip-syncing-viral-video-paris-1900803#:~:text=%22Only%20some%20%5Bperformances%5D%20are,all%20real%20performances%2C%20live.%22 |

The putz is a prop. Meanwhile the creative British man she loves just got engaged to a 26 yo. |
Different poster who’s been to a couple of her shows. Yes, she does have a backup track and backup singers + a band. |
She isn’t marrying TC with a paper ring. That was for her favorite lover boy Matty. Travis will have to pay up since he would be marrying up. And if she’s smart, she’ll say no because they have nothing in common and it wouldn’t last. |
She definitely lip syncs for parts of the show but doesn’t appear to in eras as much as she did on the rep tour. All pop stars do this but Beyonce is the best at it. It’s obvious when Taylor is lipping. |
But that’s not setting the scene. She had just finished singing The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (about Matty Healy) and is she is dead on the ground from the relationship blows/shots. Travis comes on stage and picked her up, carrying her to the couch to help encourage her to sing the next song “I can do it with a broken heart”. |
Liked awesome!! Good acting too.z |
hmm 🤔 |
| I do not understand anything about this Travis business. I respect her choice and all, but it makes no sense to me. I don’t know how this ends. |
It’s a gross overstatement to describe what she does as lip syncing. Or to suggest it goes beyond industry standard. All stadium performers use some kind of backup. Taylor uses backup singers. Part of why this is de rigeur is the way music is produced now. Albums are not direct recordings. Vocals get blended and adjusted. So in order to sound like what people think is their real voice, artists have to approximate this kind of production in live shows. Everybody does this. For ex: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/arts/music/kuk-harrell-justin-biebers-vocal-producer.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2E0.urYt.Bz0sI0_qvCF5&smid=url-share Taylor is first and foremost a songwriter, not a singer. She has never presented herself as a diva vocalist. She does not try to fake a vocal range she does not have. |
One way or another, it’ll end or else she’ll have to fake it and do it with a broken heart forever and always. It’s clear she got in with Travis (who she had no interest in and who pursued her) to get back at Healey and to help nurse her broken heart and bruised ego. |
This. And while she does have a backing track, it is also obvious that she is singing every night. She had a cold at our show last year and it was noticeable. We’ve streamed countless shows since and you can hear the imperfections and the beauty in her voice every night. she is not doing anything other than the industry standard. |
