#TaylorSwift #ErasTour #Celebrity
I saw her night 1 in LA.. yes I paid a lot of money for a ticket, and it was worth every cent. I have no idea how she will keep this up for another year--she does not stop singing and dancing for 3 1/2 hours. She deserves every good piece of karma that comes her way..songwriter of our generation, and one of the hardest working people in the business. I am trying REALLY hard not to go to another show, cuz it is so pricey..but...
definitely hard working. even more than me
Same. Paid a pretty penny for 3 tix…I just saw her last night (night 3) of LA leg, and it was an amazing show! She sings/performs straight through except for set and costume changes. She gives her fans their money’s worth. She added 15 more nights (Toronto, New Orleans, Miami) and I can’t believe it! More power to her! She is truly gifted!
Just go again! YOLO, right?!
@@michaelrmurphy2734 this a special moment in history. Won’t come again! I’m thinking of going again, but trying to figure out work coverage LOL!
Karma is a cat purring in my lap cause it loves me
While I am not a Taylor Swift fan, she still seems very down to earth, always care for her fans, and now, proven to be an amazing human being for giving out those type of bonuses to her crew.
See, Hollywood Execs? This is how to treat your labor force fairly, showing them appreciation, so they will continue to make you MORE MONEY. It is very simple.
💯💯💯
Cheers to that! 💯
oh dn, you know how greedy those holywood vutures😂😂😂
I worked security for her SoFi concert. She is awesome. Just really incredible unbelievable! Still we want some of that money.
@@aldiggydog but you are hired by the venue, right?
She's just the best. A real Superstar.
Well, there are so many concerts going on this time but I've never seen one so talked about... and people being so hyped and happy... even our local celebrities are like clawing for a chance to get tickets. Salute to Swifties!!!
It’s amazing the Taylor Swift affect has on a city hosting her concert. It’s like Christmas or Hanukah had turned the city into a festive mood. The crowds of women greatly outnumber the males at the concert. The female concert fans range from pre-teens to grandmothers. The police at the event are there to prevent criminals who often gather whenever an event is held; there has been no reported violence at her events. Taylor Swift donates to local charities in the city her concert is held at. I can see why leaders of foreign countries are asking for a concert stop in their country.
A common thread comes up in so many descriptions of a TS concert.
The (women) attending have said again and again that they "felt safe" being at the show.
.
Please don't use my words as a guide.
Go to the show and do everything to 'stay safe'.
I don’t care for her music at all. But I’m happy for her and her fans and I’m glad she is having a tremendous success with her music and her tour. Nothing more
Powerful then you see a young lady be incredibly successful and be a nice down to earth caring person.
I feel the same !!
All of that and she's still down to earth ❤️
Only Taylor could bring us together in her performance ✨️ ❤😊😘✨️💯🔥🫶🙌😉👏
The best description of being with 70000+ others at a show....."girl joy".
The economic impact of a Taylor Swift concert in one city is more than what one Super Bowl game brings. Also, with fans without tickets who are "Taylor-gating" outside the stadiums in various cities, more people are coming into these cities hoping just to catch a glimpse of the show and be a part of the event whether they're inside or outside the stadium venue.
Since a Super Bowl is a "Level 1" tier event in terms of security, the entire stadium is totally walled off where even the parking lots right at the stadium are not open for fans with tickets.
she deserved all success.
Shes stunning, shes also a brilliant story teller
This is the most important part about Taylor herself; She epitomizes the term “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”, a saying so many in the right-wing movement hold so high and dear. She’s been at this for roughly 20 years, before even her first album. There is no way her success was “bought for her with daddy’s money”. Anybody who has that mindset, take some time and get over yourself. Success hasn’t found that many more deserving than Taylor Swift.
Um she grew up in a mansion in west reading PA her father is a former stockbroker for Merrill Lynch and her mom was a marketing executive she didn't exactly grow up in the projects of the south Bronx. She quite literally grew up in a multi million dollar mansion. That's just a fact nothing right wing about it.
She grew up in Wyomissing, PA. West Reading is about a twenty-five/thirty minute drive from the Wyomissing/Wilson area, depending on traffic. West Reading has a reputation for being a bit of a rough area.
Wyomissing is where I also grew up and graduated from high school. The huge house she grew up in is not far from the Wyomissing elementary school, where I also went. Although because of the way the district lines are drawn, she didn’t fall into going to the Wyomissing school district, her parents’ huge house happened to sit where she was slated to go into the Wilson school district system. Wyomissing and Wilson are next to each other and are considered rival schools in the area. Wyomissing colors are blue & white with the Spartan mascot, Wilson school district colors are red and white with a bulldog mascot.
@@Chertoff88 Can you name any rich kid backed by their own parents succeeding in a wild fashion like Taylor?
@@Will-sb4hfTrump lol, Soros , hundreds of them Salinas, I mean come on bro even ENRIQUE IGLESIAS AND LUIS MIGUEL.
@@Will-sb4hf yeah too many to count, it's actually pretty common in the celebrity world. Matt Damon is a great example. Likes to pretend he grew up in Southie but he grew up in rich Cambridge and his father much like Swift's father was a financial manager.
She's got a point. She's an icon. She's a legend. And SHE IS THE MOMENT. NOW C'MON NOW!!! You have to give it up to Tay!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Not a fan... but I respect what she's doing. She writes her own music and sings very well. She has the whole package. I wouldn't pay 100 dollars to see her... but I get it. People are desperate to see someone with real talent.
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor....Go girl ❤❤
She certainly deserved the honorary doctorate given to her
at this rate, ain't she deserves Nobel ?
because she’s what’s GOOD in the world. they love her as a person.
but shes charging way to much--isnt that greedy and unfair--??
it's not really her, her tickets are actually way low than what is advertised. but due to the scalpers and resellers buying bulk tickets, the prizes of the ticket just really go on an astronomical amount of money. these people and groups are reselling the tickets in a higher prize hence why it's so expensive. her tickets usually according to my research is $49 - $499(this is according to the add ons and seats they'll obtain). the thousands of dollars are usually cost by you guess it resellers and scalpers.
Its rare when an artist sings for 3 hours and 1/2.
Springsteen invented that, and is still doing it well into his 70's.
the person didn't said no one does it aside from taylor, what the person meant is therefore very few of them out there. very FEW.
What a time to be alive!
This is incorrect statement. She gave $100k each to the 50 drivers who were contracted to the tour. Her crew/employees got a lot more adding up to $55M
Correct!!!
will Beyonce ever do the same?
@@MrLuis85698definitely no. Beyonce rather buy $100 million masnion than giving $100k bonus to her tour truck driver. No other artist ever did that. No one.
@@amirulasyraf1409 that is what I thought
@@MrLuis85698 no
Love her humanity!!!❤❤❤❤
Hahaha let’s talk crowd size!!🤣🤣🤣
Literally, “THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.”
Supposedly she's interested in reuniting Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to open for her on the next leg of her tour. I know it seems unlikely, but if anyone can do it, it's Taylor.
Taylor seems like such a class act!
TAYLOR is the best role model of all time. PERIODT
Taylor is class apart... she is incredible!✨
She is the man..!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤🙀🙀🙀😺😺😺😺
Taylor Swift is amazing.
As a 58 year old male I love her music 🎶
As a 50 year old woman, I relate to her songs as I think about all the stages in my life that are reflected in each of her albums. Very beautiful way to reminisce, or even make peace with regrets or missed connections/opportunities at love, friendship, relationships. She is the GOAT!
as a young woman, i love you both, i hope you two enjoy the moment.
@@jhaniels.canete8308 sending you love and hugs and a virtual friendship bracelet! Thank you for those kind words!
As a 72yro guy I became a swiftie last week, luv Tays everything she does ❤❤❤
Taylor, the music industry!
I enjoyed this report. I was smiling throughout. Thanks for giving me a great start to my day. Taylor is amazing.
You don't have to like Taylor Swift, but you need to respect her!
No I don't.
@@rustybear5125wow ya basic
No😂😂@@thejoeyjason
MAY GOD BLESS TAYLOR, I HOPE WE SEE UR CONVCERT IN INDIA GIRLY LOVE YOU SUPER PROUD ❤❤
I went to Pittsburgh N1 and it was a magical, once in a lifetime experience 💖
Taylor is God's gift to mankind. ❤
Really?
If America had royalty, she would be it. Biggest musician today.
taylor swift pls help the people of maui who are struggling. you will be a hero for everyone in hawaii
That's the power of all swifties❤❤❤
This world is her diary, we're just living on it. 💯
Don't forget.Your stories are just as important.🧡
@@harryyarrow4110 that really made my day, thank you! you're an angel. 💙✨
Today should have mentioned how many of us are booking trips overseas to see her.
I’m going to the New Orleans show 🩵
So cool!
I had already secured the Singapore tickets in March next year!
Thoughtful,kind,compassionate,generous,and so on.💛🧡💜
Taylor’s three Houston concerts generated more money for Houston than the Final Four did.
Taylor Swift 🔥🥰🥰
I can imagine Kanye West getting steamed at this video: "Yo, I'm really happy for Taylor, I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best economic power of all time! One of the best concert of all time!" Edit: While I don't really listen to Taylor Swift music, I like how at 1:37, her fans can gather in large groups without destroying things.
She is powerful than any out of the billionaire's people out there🤗❤️❤️
I saw myself represented with Barbie so loved it
"Taylor Swift tour is the hottest selling tickets concert this summer, outselling 2nd hottest concert tickets by Beyonce SIX TIMES"
Fyi in asia more then 20 million people are hopping to buy her concert in singapore
And am one of them....😢😢😢
Those who didn't get the ticket can gather outside the stadium to feel the blast of the music!
Shes way way bigger than any solo performing BEATLE.not even close!!
The only Queen of the music industry 👸❤️
Beyoncé
I saw myself represented with Barbie so loved it. She's an icon!.
Taylor Swift is Awesome real star!!!
Most beautiful singer ...
Swift holds America!
she's the one and only music industry.
What?
very good video Today
Quite amazing 💪🏼
She's an icon!
and she is the moment
Taylor Swift IS the music industry.
SHE NEEDS TO COME TO NC IM BEGGING
Amazing
If I was Roger Goodell I would have Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl halftime show every year.
The superbowl is sponsered by PepsiCo. Taylor has a big contract with coca cola.itll never happen till something changes
@@Han78711. Her contract w coke is over and Pepsi is no longer the sponsor
💯
@@debbie8437 ok....the superbowl is not a big enough venue for taytay.Shes WAY bigger than the superbowl.FAX
@@debbie8437 i think Apple music (sponsor) and taylor dont or didnt see eye to eye in regards to artists compensation.
when the ticanic sunk, the music was still playing
Wow Taylor swift is ❤❤❤ 👏👏👏
Rest In Peace, Sinead O'Connor
who? the one who tore the pope's pic? nah! that's not it
All tickets in Singapore for next year eras tour are already sold out for just one our when ticket sales open.
I got 4 VIP2 tickets for my family, we are going to have a Cruel Summer in Styles!
@@lailengboon7886I have a question about VIP tickets, i registered for the 2024 USA leg.
When buying VIP, you will be on the floor seats, you will have a VIP pass, VIP box mailed to you, VIP parking included(?), and priority entrance.
correct/add anything that I was wrong about please🥹. I'm trying to get tickets for my sisters birthday, which happens to be on her tour date.
yeah, is said a lot.
Taylor doesn't have competition among other pop female divas she's bigger than them now she's competing with male pop stars and he's also beating them. Nobody can touch her when i comes to being a global massive seller super star
yeah it should never end 3:18
👏🏼🙌🏼
as much as i like taylor she lowkey contributing to the problem in inglewood where the ppl who live here are not only low income but also have to deal with all the traffic from the shows and stuff
She had zero contribution to a stadium being built there🙄
@@Ktcsr17 yea i know i lowkey didn't think about that it's just crazy to see the amount of attraction. when bts came to sofi it wasn't nearly as bad
@@ethanwho_ that’s because no one works harder than Taylor. She’s released 4 new albums and 3 re-recorded albums in 5 years. Her show is over 3 hrs long with over 40 songs. And she plays two completely different songs of her over 200 song catalog every show acoustically. Plus she’s still recording 2 more re-recordings and who knows about new music. She is nonstop. We’re witnessing history in the making.
@@ethanwho_Because bts it nobody comepare to Taylor🎉🎉🎉
@@Ktcsr17 And she sings live a lot!
Amazing and terriffic that a performer can bring in so much revenue to a city But of course the audience pays for it as well Ticket prices for concerts are exhorbitant
Toronto is the number four largest city in North America. Larger than the second tier American cities that she DOES play. James Brown and David Bowie toured Canada. Tay-Tay can do so too! Alert and Cape Dorset, NWT! Come on up!
Get real bro .Taylor is better than Bowie and James Brown put together.they could NEVER EVER sellout Toronto 6 straight days!! Noway,NOHOW.
“Even for the most savvy Swifties you are going to see some steep prices”. Well alrighty then😂.
Hardworking journalist.
Why hasent she done the big house in Michigan?
I’m still hoping I can take my baby sister🥺 I keep trying so hard to get tickets, 5 of us and again non of us got verified so we’re going to just do our a best.
So, assuming 360 employees, that would only be around 33 million. So, it seems likely some for even more. Perhaps those who’ve worked for her longer got more.
Remember, she is booked twice in each city. No one has done that!!!
3 times right? Friday, Saturday, sunday.
and then LA has 6
If Britney is the pop star princess, then Tailor is definitely the pop star ⭐ QUEEN!!
Only if you can buy stock in a celebrity. Of course they would be high volatility
trump is that person...he has millions investing their trailer park rent money into is legal defense ...his jet and melanias clothe and hair
El porque porque se va quedar sin empleados o gente que tenga una explanacion o lugar a la música es como que este sola
Congratulations Greta!!!
🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
4:45 you will enjoy
She'll be worth more than half a billion once her Era tour is complete.
Her net worth was $740M as of the beginning of this year. Once this tour is complete, she'll be a billionaire
ACT OF GODMOTHER
Which Kim K and Kanye cannot!!! Glad she comes out better after the 2 mocked her
Because Talyor has talents and good heart. Those two...hmmm trashed!!!
@@marialorenavillanueva5342 Not a big fan of Swift, but will surely agree with that statement.
Eras or Eris? Because one of them, as you know is the new covid 'variant'. Nothing like a little predictive programming with your 'entertainment'.
Está actuando como una empleada y jefa Al mismo tiempo le puede perfudicar en un futuro
Ella va ganando para ella nada más no para la todo la música esto ya a pasado antes cuál es el prolema lo que está ganando ella nada más va hacer un prolema para el mercado en el futuro de la música
truck drivers >
Man Utd my baby you buy for man LOVE YOU SWEETHEART AND YOU SUPPORT THEM ASWEL you get loan until I rise xxxx
Missed opportunity o say you’ve reported on Taylor 13 times
1:14 Boric ❤
She should boycott Florida for promoting the benefits of slavery
I remember when this was justin bieber when he took over the world. so cool
reagan'a trickle down economics DOES NOT WORK OR WILL NOT WORK. taylor just destroyed reaganomics period
Very strange that young girls seem to worship her? Even stranger are parents who take little girls to her concerts!
