Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Half ass venues don’t do live events any justice, that’s why you see so much investment into NFL stadiums, Las Vegas sphere, etc. they are creating environments people want to go to
Even rogers arena has gotten quite a bit better in the last 10 years or so, and once they replace the seats etc. next year should be a big step up
There is no experience that’s equivalent to a big live sporting event

Having said that, some performers prefer the opposite. Smaller venues to be more connected to the audience. To be fair, her type of concerts are a different ball of wax. It'd be good for her to, once in a while, perform in a small, less significant venues like the one here in the "village" of Vancouver.

Her tour has 90 semi trucks that go to each show loaded with equipment. She gave all her drivers a 100k bonus.
How tf does one person have 90 trailers worth of gear for a show? Unless she has multiple setups that leapfrog each other like most performers do, and each location is using maybe 50-55.

Trying to fathom 90 trailers heading to downtown. Border crossing............. Border Agent: So what are these for? Where are you going? How much cash do you have? Taylor Swift....... who's that?
All kidding aside. I'm sure they'll be rolling in at 3:00 am or something like that. With police escort and all. My limited entertainment budget will give me a shot at filming the trucks rolling in, jbol.
BTW, I'm not a Swiftie.

I will never publicly say I'm a Swiftie, but she is popular for a reason. Writes and sings her own music and sings from the heart. She also works hard for the money (and fame). <---Donna Summer reference. Everything works for her. Her recent thing with the NFL player............... more inspiration for love and heartbreak songs.
Anyway, I like her music. And, like Kirkland alluded to, not bad on the eyes. Dare I say, girl next door look? Nah, that's stretching it.
Her two best attributes are that she's an excellent song writer and she works her ass off. Is she just an ok-ish singer? Sure but, like you say, she works hard for the money. Her shows are over 3 hours long and she did one in the pouring rain (whereas Snoop Dogg gave me a 45 min show in Victoria). You'll get your $500 worth of live performance at her show.
Love her stance on politics too and despite the media playing up her romances to make her out to be a hoe she's a great role model for girls. She fights for LGBTQ rights when she's from a conservative home state knowing she's get pushback and even lose some fans.
I'd go see her live if I had the chance and I'd go see Adele and Beyonce live too, they're all great entertainers.

Rammstein had the same size setup.
With a 265-person crew and 90 trucks transporting 1,350 tons of production equipment across the continent, the band tours until the end of August, performing in sold-out stadiums.

I pray, in a secular way, that she doesn't end up like a lot of performers. Dead or assassinated, or drowning in drugs and whatnot. She seems to be very well balanced and down to earth. Fans and media need to give her space. She must be surrounded with decent people. Not like Elvis and whatshisnuts, Colonel Sanders. I'm glad she did the Taylor's Version thing. Took charge of her music. Fuck those leeches. I get good vibes from her. Not like Oprah or Tony Robbins, lol. Britney Spears............ nuff said.

She’s smart, I’ll give her that. She will sell out, but you won’t find me within a cities reach. Wouldn’t dare be near those groupies. Lol!… and I’m with MG1 on the looks. Lol.
Legit, my mother in law ( big time C-Lai) called my wife and told her that she wanted Taylor Swift tickets and asked her to ask me to get her tickets.
She doesn't even know who taylor swift is or any of her songs, but her other C-Lai friends were talking about it and now my MIL wants tickets because of clout.
I told me wife that if I get tickets, i'm selling them to the highest bidder.
Not judging you, but she ain't all that pretty........... definitely not beautiful or stunning. Hot? That's debatable.
To each their own, I say.
I'm not a Swiftie by any means, but I just got back from Bellingham with a special edition 1989 Taylor's Version 2 LP set. Tangerine one. Only available at Target and sold only in the US. Extra bonus tracks from her "vault," included.
BTW, just messin' with ya, Kirkland.................
I always thought she looked great. But I like her tear drops on my guitar MV look the best. The new tay tay gone a bit too trashy like Britney.
after this thread i listened to her latest album 'midnights' yesterday. it was just ok for me... there were a few tunes stuck in my head but overall i found it to be pretty average. maybe like 7/10 on the first listen.

Yeah, I'm with you. I don't understand the hype with her, but there's no questioning her popularity.
And it's also interesting that some of you think she's HOT. I would say she's pretty average looking for a white girl and she doesn't have a nice rack or big booty or anything.
Her personality is a 10 though, at least from the interviews I have seen.
I think the fact that Taylor doesn't rely on gimmicks, like fake boobs, butt lifts or overly done makeup, is a big part of her appeal. Her look is attainable for your typical basic suburban person. She also sings about relationships and drama, which of course strikes a chord.
With a 265-person crew and 90 trucks transporting 1,350 tons of production equipment across the continent, the band tours until the end of August, performing in sold-out stadiums.
That's what I mean, Rammstein is 6 people worth of instruments (granted I don't know how many backing musicians Taylor Swift travels with) plus that massive stage, tons of props, and tons of pyro. Standing in front of it was pretty nuts. The central tower thing has an elevator in it too.
They had two copies of that stage that would leapfrog each other between venues because the setup takes so long. So it was 40 trucks per stage setup + 10 of instruments and stuff that was quick to go to every show. If she's using all 90 at each show that's an impressive amount of gear.

Look at this - a bunch of 40 something men talking about Taylor Swift. That's she's even on our radar as a thing to talk about speaks to how big a phenomenon she is. She's basically the modern day Beatles or Michael Jackson.
^^ lol. Hard to avoid, when you got media, and radio stations shoving her name down our throats. The other day I was listening to 94.5, they were playing one her songs, then I switch to 95.3 and they were playing her other songs. I just turned the radio off.

The media exposure on Swift is magnified like 10X when she is dating that Kansas City Chiefs football player Travis Kelce.
I cannot imagine how much paparazzi are following them, hiding behind trees, bushes, just to take pictures of Taylor and Travis on dates haha.
Every time the NFL has Chiefs games broadcast on Sundays, if Taylor is at one of the Chiefs' home games to watch her man play ball, one of the camera operators pans the camera to get video of Taylor cheering on Travis in the player's suite hahaah.
The NFL is shoving Taylor down the throats of many football fans every time the Chiefs play a home game in my opinion.
I'm getting so sick of hearing celebrity hashtags for those two.
#Traylor?
Maybe #Traylor is appropriate if their relationship breaks up one day.
#Traylor becomes Trailer trash hahah. More inspiration for Swift to write another one of her heartbreak songs.
Travis Kelce might be an entire new album for Taylor one day.

It's the massive stage, video wall lighting and audio that take up the space. The stage is a football field wide and mas a middle section the is a football field long. The floor of the stage is also a video wall. This video brakes down the stage and A/V system.

That's when she got on my radar.. It seems so phony though, right before her tour lol
But whatever, celebs and athletes are going to have weird relationships, and many probably involve business transactions. Good for them, they both just made a lot of money by dating or whatever they're doing, and fans love them and they aren't harming anyone.
