I have friends that are working on her tour. She is extremely professional and very nice to everyone. Not just the performers. And she pays very well. That goes a long way when you can be on tour with someone for 18 months.

She did rap, but that avenue did not pan out.

She is so good it hurts and I only know a handful of her songs because of my daughter and her friends.

She complains a lot, though, but damn, she's good.

Here's an alternative lifestyle related song that is so well done that I can enjoy it and laugh at myself. Not saying it changes me but it dulls a few sharp edges. Again, incredibly good production.

Ha-ha! There's ways for the adults in the room to spend money too!
Eagles tickets for the Sphere in Las Vegas appear to be from $549 (probably behind a post) to $5,349 each!

I had a friend that took his teen daughter to see Taylor Swift in Grand Junction many years ago before she became a sensation. I think the tickets were $15 or $25.

I don't care what she brings. She's not above the taxpayers of the city. No one should be.

Eastern PA. Wyomissing. Halfway between Allentown and Hershey.

Tree farm in area but can't confirm if her parent's property.

Folks I know who live near there say (hearsay) she was a touch peculiar but a few bugs are allowed.

I would not pay that much to have the Rolling Stones play at my house

Taylor Swift seems like a nice young man to me

When Tim Tebow was playing for the Broncos
He went on a date with taylor swift.
He was not impressed.

Eventually he married a former miss universe
who has a heart of gold and a soul.
The man is a good judge.

It fundamentally goes against the wholesome artist principle.

Face value of the tickets was a lot less than what the secondary market was selling them for, the artists don't see that difference.

Dealing with TicketMaster and allowing legalized scalping is what goes against the 'wholesome artist' principle you speak of.

There were a lot of folks, including some friends that have the disposable income to do something like this, that bought tickets for TS European dates and ultimately spent less even with travel.

I just read an article about Taylor and the Eras tour . Over the 2 years of the tour she handed out 197 million dollars in bonuses to EVERYONE on the tour !!! Truck drivers/security/makeup/band/catering etc etc etc . Love her or hate her you don't see anyone else doing that .

My SIL and niece were at the show in Vancouver on Saturday night. They said it was awesome. They got some last minute tix for $500 each.
