Oh delicious… Is there any chance that none of you saw that?…
I swallowed it," Swift says, adding “this has been fun.”
I will say this right away at the top- the show was awesome.
By no means was I disappointed, let down, underwhelmed, or any of that non-sense.
This wasn’t the first time I’ve seen her in concert.
It won’t be the last.
But I had some thoughts on the experience.
That doesn’t mean I’m a hater or was disappointed.
Let’s start off with the most impressive part of the entire thing: the production.
It was seriously incredible.
And that was back in 2010 and 2011.
How much this must have cost to price out, build, and operate on a nightly basis.
Also, there was this whole wristband nonsense.
Made in China garbage.
Yah, well these werent those.
These things were insane.
Especially if you haven’t caught her live before.
3 and a half hours for a show is no joke.
And covering 17 years of music is pretty awesome I don’t care who the act is.
Unless this just becomes the norm for her and she’s essentially a legacy act from here on out?
I know, I know.
Obviously supply and demand is a real thing.
She’s the hottest act in the world right now.
Doing a limited amount of shows in a handful of cities this summer.
There’s not an endless supply of opportunities to see her.
That’s going to drive the price sky high.
But people flipping tickets for $5000 a pop in some cases and other people paying that is outrageous.
We’re not talking The Beatles reunion, or Led Zeppelin here.
We’re talking Taylor Swift’s first show post-pandemic.
Made the whole thing feel like such a cash grab and sell out.
From the wristbands, to the screen promos, to the digital ads everywhere you looked.
The other excessive part was the amount of costume changes.
(And definitely not because she’s aRedhater).
Redstill remains Swift’s best album front to back.
There are still heavy country influences throughout it, as well as great radio jams.
I love Kelly to death.
She’s a crazy person, but she’s the first to admit it.
She’s a good person and a fun time to hang out with.
She’s an awesome Dozen trivia teammate and I’m glad we have her.
But she’s insane.
20 million dollars is life changing money.
Literally the definition of life-changing.
Seeing a musician in concert is not.
I would seriously love to pick somebody’s brain behind this thing.
There is just something about Chicago in the summer man.
If you know you know.
And you get it.
We don’t care.
I showed up early because I fucking love Girl In Red and wanted to see her/them live.
The openers Taylor lined up for this tour are and have been unreal.
A+ Job well done on that front.)
