I have good friends who make about the same amount as my husband and I. They have two kids, live in a small townhouse, went to Taylor swift and several other concerts and experiences, just went on vacation to Europe, and have told their kids that they shouldn’t expect any help for college so to consider community college for the first two years then transferring. We have three kids, live in a single family home, and will have saved enough to pay outright for in state tuition for all three kids, but took a driving vacation, and don’t do any concerts (the last concert I attended was the 4th grade strings concert at our kids elementary school). Good people make different spending decisions.
Your poor kids. You’ve giving them amazing experiences, but not setting them up to give the same to their kids. I know an adult who was raised like this. She struggles with finances because she feels entitled to amazing experiences but is crushed with college debt. Regular life sends dull after the Bill things she did as as ten, but she can’t even afford regular life because of all the college loans. This is a really terrible parenting strategy. Please carefully consider the implications.

I’ll add that of course Taylor is in so many many ways better than u2 and no one will ever understand “unless you were there” but at least U2 understood the irony of how what they did was pure show biz and how consumerism was destroying the world at the same time.
You never get that with Taylor the understand that consumerism has a negative effect on the world.
U2's lyrical content was never adolescent as is most of TS teeny bobber stuff either.
I get that the moms have fun watching their daughters have fun.
But at this crazy price point?
Ridiculous.
I guarantee you’ve never listen to the majority of her music that’s not on radio play. Hardly teenybopper lyrics. I do not consider myself a Swifty, but I am a middle-aged woman who started looking more into her music more when my kids started to really liked her. You should see all the TikTok and Instagram videos of people from all sorts of life, even famous rappers, being like damn that woman can write. If you’re judging her by, shake it off or love story, you don’t understand what Taylor Swift is about.
Specifically, what lyrics or song can you point to?
Not just songs, but albums. They are also better understood when you know their context.

1989 - Ryan Adams covered this album and this is what made me think differently about her writing and held a mirror to how I dismissed her bc she is a young blonde girl. (I am an older blonde girl.)
I totally forgot about the Ryan Adams album! What a huge compliment to her as an artist.
Is it? As a person, he doesn’t seem too great.

A trip that will cost about $5k or more.
This is ridiculous
I mean, no one really cares what you like or don’t like. Your thoughts on this are neither valid nor notable. So.

[Verse 1]
How's one to know?
I'd meet you where the spirit meets the bones
In a faith-forgotten land
In from the snow
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
Tarnished but so grand
[Pre-Chorus]
And the old widow goes to the stone every day
But I don't, I just sit here and wait
Grieving for the living
[Chorus]
Oh, goddamn
My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand
Taking mine, but it's been promised to another
Oh, I can't
Stop you putting roots in my dreamland
My house of stone, your ivy grows
And now I'm covered in you
[Verse 2]
I wish to know
The fatal flaw that makes you long to be
Magnificently cursed
He's in the room
Your opal eyes are all I wish to see
He wants what's only yours
[Verse 3]
Clover blooms in the fields
Spring breaks loose, the time is near
What would he do if he found us out?
Crescent moon, coast is clear
Spring breaks loose, but so does fear
He's gonna burn this house to the ground
How's one to know?
I'd live and die for moments that we stole
On begged and borrowed time
So tell me to run
Or dare to sit and watch what we'll become
And drink my husband's wine

After paying normal concert prices, we drove there and drove home. I paid for an overpriced pizza of pizza at the stadium. I don’t know anyone who paid thousands for resale.
Weren’t you ever a kid and disappointed because you didn’t get tickets to the sold out concert? This isn’t any different except people think it’s their right to go. -Gen X mom
