Haha. No, Los Angeles.
You could probably fly to Poland and back from LA for less than $1400 I would have thought
My wife got a ticket, going to Dublin with 3 friends.
Bit jelly but she was overjoyed to the point of weeping, so that's nice.

It's called implants.Annoying how big she has become. Impossible to get concert tickets
And I‘ve got tickets.
She also does kind of go all out in her performances and really does put on a show so you can imagine why its popular.
Don't bother with the caf dads when it comes to current day music of all things. They're still probably sat playing their Joy division CDs or whatever the feck was out there like 50 years ago
It's also because she was kind of a teen pop idol so carries that audience always.
Olivia Rodrigo seems to be the latest one now. Her new song is annoying as feck but apparently her songs are the quickest to go gold/platinum.
I don't think it's a children vs adult thing but rather what appeals to the masses. Her music sort of hits that spot of being an easy listen and just enough quality coupled with her being around for a long long time already (when she was doing this rubbish romeo juliet songs). I think she's no longer a terrible artist and fairly good now, but it's one of those case where anything good just furthers her already huge following.
Nice. Which date/venue did you get? I managed to get one of the August dates for Wembley next year in the presale last week, was so lucky.And I‘ve got tickets.
Amazed at the massive fuss about her. I just got box tickets to see her about a month ago, through one of our beverage partners, and first thing I did was give them away.
One of the Gelsenkirchen shows. A friend of mine got lucky and actually got four tickets days after the sale started.
Wow, that's amazing. Now we've just got to wait a whole year
ZOMG, I can just hear Taylor’s version of Love Will Tear Us Apart! It’s written in the stars.
The set up was: my daughter had been going through a rough patch, and made sure I was at the keyboard ready to buy tickets soon as they were available. I said (foolishly) that I’d get tickets, don’t sweat it. Then the ticket servers crashed and I got skunked. Months go by as I’m monitoring secondary sales, and I finally pulled the trigger and bought 2 decent (not amazing) seats. We waited to tell her until she was finishing a school performance and handed her a bouquet with Taylor tickets attached. She wigged out. It’s moments like that which make it all worthwhile.You could probably fly to Poland and back from LA for less than $1400 I would have thought
Those two fan bases deserve each other.
I'm both fan bases.
We do!
Ticketmaster, I assume?
Yep. Total disaster.
I can understand the appeal for her and her music, she is obviously very good performer, but at end of the day she is just a person who sings songs. I am sure in history there were better singers, performers, bands who didn't get half of this attention worldwide to their concerts as she does know, and it's quite obvious that it's social media influenced like everything else these days. It's obvious that the crying, excitement is half pure, and half fake and influenced by internet, and not exactly pure love towards Taylor Swift that people can't contain.
Just probably old man yelling at clouds, but I find it amazing that grown people can be this excited over one performer, but then people applauded Spiderman movie in the cinema, it's not like I haven't seen weirder stuff from modern instagram/tik tok crowd.

She's feckin shite
She’s a brilliant pop craftsman, plus, having risen to fame at 15 (and now being 33), she’s basically been the voice for everyone her age, plus her early works still speak to young teens. 20 years of people growing up with her. I would never have given her a listen of it weren’t for my daughter.
Very good lyricist, there is no denying it.
And I’ll admit her first 3 albums are barely worth a listen. Red onwards are good.
She wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers.
It resonates with me so much as a 34 year old man.
(I like Tay)
Not having that. My only concert was a year before Red. She was great even then.
A wordsmith.
With pretty much every big artist I don't know I go on their Spotify top 5 and realise I've heard their songs before out and about. I just went through Taylor Swift's and I've never heard any of them.
Omg omg omg
Top-selling, maybe.
What’s the craic with album sales these days anyway? Who still buys albums? Old people, right?
Tbf top 5 just means the most popular right now. You've probably heard one or two of her most listened to.

Don't think any of these are even amongst her 20 best songs.
Don't like her music but I can appreciate her as a person after seeing some more personal interviews with her at her house etc. Seems like a sweetheart/head in the right place person for the most part. There I said something nice about Taylor Swift. Don't ask me to do it again.
Vinyls became a billion dollar industry last year and leapfrogged CDs for the first time in 35 years. Must be old people leading the revolution. Doubt any zoomer knows what a vinyl is.
Yeah that’s a weird one. Friend of mine owns a chain of music stores in Ireland and vinyl is the only thing keeping them from going under. Nice little money spinner for the artists too. Can sell multiple versions of the same album. Feels very faddy though. Can’t see anyone sticking with such an inconvenient way to play music for long.
I have several hundred vinyl records in the attic I haven’t looked at in years. Should really try and flog them while vinyl is having a moment.
A chain of music stores in this day and age? Crikey.
I'd flog them off for sure if they don't have any sentimental value. There's seems to be an anti-technological fad going on at the moment. Anti-streaming, anti-smartphones, trading cards etc. They'll grow tired sooner or later.
