[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on your area. A large number of kids in this area either had connections to the first American leg of the tour or the means to go to the second leg in Europe. I bought ridiculously priced resale market tickets months before the tour even started. I could have made a fortune reselling them but obviously went instead. I was fortunate to get tickets to a show in Europe from the actual site and paid reasonable prices. We made it a summer vacation and enjoyed every second. I don't think you can truly understand this phenomenon until you attend a show. I'm already trying to figure out how to get to one of the last ones in the second American leg. All that to say we went twice and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Anyone that is considering last minute tickets to the rest of the Europe tour I can not recommend it enough. It was a magical, core memory for us and I'll never forget it. People are willing to pay for this kind of experience if they are able. That's probably why so many around here have gone. They have the means and the desire.[/quote]

Describing it as magical I’m wondering what you’ve seen so far that would make you say this concert was unforgettable?  Was it comparable to anything else you’ve liked in the past?

The productions and money spent on lighting and tricks and everything are first rate in Swift’s show. Just like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga’s productions.  I understand a child or teen loving the show and wanting to see it again but usually adult chaperones just get through it.

It’s nuts to even compare her to Britney or lady Gaga. Britney hasn’t toured in decades, she last did a Vegas residency and was practically lobotomized during it. There is nobody living who is Taylor’s peer. What makes her show special is she wrote every song- it’s her and her life you’re connecting with. She writes the journey from girlhood to womanhood in a way that is specific to her but relatable to everyone. It’s her heart and soul in 46 songs and you know every single one. I’ve been to many concerts, even her prior ones. Nothing is like the Eras tour. [/quote]

Britney came before Swift but it was the same hype, the same mediocre singing, the same flashy shows, the same kiddie audience.  Britney sold 150 million albums.   Swift has sold 200 million?  Britney’s mental health has nothing to do with her early success starting at 16 and it might have contributed to it.  But the Britney hype and people obsessed with her every move was crazy.

I’ll take your word for it that Swift is a good songwriter.  I thought most of her songs are about her famous ex-boyfriends.  They must go over the young kid’s heads. And I seriously doubt her songs are relatable to everyone.

Beyoncé and Swift are compared only because they are the top two females currently breaking records on their tours and albums.   They are both well known to the world.  And they both have huge fan bases.

I really enjoy Bey’s music.  I wouldn’t go to a concert but I really like her voice.   I would think a lot of young people like them both.

When you say no one living is Swift’s peer I’m not sure what you mean. There are many singers her age or younger who are much better singers, infinitely better.  Swift’s dancing is embarrassing but they’ve learned to cover it up.  Her show is put together by the top people in the business.

I think Olivia Rodrigo will take Swift’s place.   She got a strong singing voice that’s only getting better.  She writes her own songs, she’s 21 so the younger ones can relate.   With all the bells and whistles like Swift has she’ll be next. [/quote]
