Won some tickets at work and to be honest I don't really care to go. I'd be shocked if I could name 2 of her songs. I really don't see what all the hype is about.

Can anyone enlightening me on why I should go or recommend a trusted reseller site I can use? Apparently I can't use Facebook marketplace or Kijiji due to their policies. Never been in this position before so not sure how all this works.

Thanks in advance.

She's on the mountain top now. I like several of her songs. People hate on her for no reason, like they do Bieber, who's also crazy talented. She turned down the super bowl, told them to up the cash significantly. I like her, she doesn't take shit from nobody.

She's a money making machine. You're not her demographic anyway.

She is literally amazing.

Kanye West tried to tear her down at one of the VMA's and she still came out on top.

Forget about the money, go for the experience. Just curious, what are the seats and what date in 2024 ? Thanks .

If you are not a Taylor Swift fan, you could sell your tickets on TERB.cc Buy & Sell Zone. There may be dozens of Terbites that have an inner teen girl inside them dying to get out. Being that some people are willing to pay $500-800 for these tickets you could get several SP sessions for the tickets.
Or maybe an SP is a Taylor Swift fan and will barter for the tickets.

Still trying to figure out what she is so popular.

You mean the same way some old geezers were saying about Pink Floyd in the 70s-80.................the same way we said about Justin Beiber, The Barenaked Ladies and Nickel Crap.

Because she writes songs that connect with her fans. Like her, loath her, or be indifferent about her you have to admit she does have talent. You are outside of her fanbase demographic to understand what her appeal is.

She writes songs about the men that left her. Now very smart men won't date her.

@ramblin nice wingman tactic. Have the hotel room on stand by.

Pop music.

And no we don’t have to admit she has talent. Songwriter sure, some talent. Beyond that? Think her shows would be anywhere near as popular without all the gimmicks/distractions/showmanship.

I’d stack her voice vocals up against a lot of other vocalist an awful lot and she pales. Let’s start with Pink because she’s somewhat current. Annie Lennox? The list is really, really long.

Instruments passable talent.

what she is, like a lot of todays “musicians” is an entertainer ( a good one) . But I wouldn’t confuse the two. :)

I can't really comment about her but I like her I knew you were Trouble song. Don't know much about her songs.

As a kid in the 1970s, I was at a night course on magic at a public school. The teacher had a briefcase of trick cards and what not that he was selling and some kids were stealing them.
Anyways, his view was that Elton John had no talent but was excellent on putting on a show. Not sure if I totally agree with that.

I think he was both. A talented musician ( maybe not the best of the time/era) but definitely put on a show that combined set him apart.

if we want to talk simply singer/songwriters/musicians of the times. She’s not even close to being in Ed Sheeran’s league. He’s got talent.

Anywho, not a knock and nothing wrong with being a wildly successful entertainer. Plenty of them over the years. But there’s a world of difference.

Yeah, he didn't write his lyrics. Bernie did that.
But he can read music whereas none of the Beatles could do that.

She's got entitled cunt persona nailed shut. On Fallon. Another irritating cunt, she revealed her fanboy "friends" Like Mike Birbiglia. I'm sure they're all really close.
I'd love to see Ali G interview her.

The thought did cross my mind to sell them and use the money to see one of those 800h SP's that I couldn't normally afford but I think I'll resist that and put the money to better use lol.

Writing songs only takes "some talent"? If it were easy, or only took a little talent to write a hit song everyone would do it.

Entertainers/performers don't write their own songs, they just sing/perform those written by others. I wouldn't confuse entertainers, with musicians who perform what they write.
