When did Taylor Swift get her grammys done?

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

"For the kids"

Ya'll just wanted to see the new grammy's in person.

 

[FESTER665]

Nothing wrong with buying kids tickets to see her for any occasion.

Only issue i have is people paying $2-3000 to watch a 33 year old sing whos already worth 400 million dollars... That's crazy.


Now THAT'S a gift!

Thats not what she made on ticket sales though, thats what people were asking due to demand from the tickets they bought.

I was just arguing with one of my guys about 2 months ago on something similar. He brought up how much money Bad Bunny and Marc Anthony were making on their concerts. Separate concerts, they didnt tour together, but he went to both and paid thousands for each concert to sit up front. He read what each tour was expected to gross and was arguing with me that they each were making that amount of money. I tried explaining to him, that the cost of the venue, transporting and setting up/tearing down the stage, backup dancers, DJ's, security, etc all gets paid out of that gross income. He told me I was wrong lol
He was also convinced the thousands people like him paid on the secondary market went to the artists as well.

We paid face value on our tickets by chance. Tickets were still expensive, about $400 per/with fees. Not cheap, but not nearly as much as it would have cost on the 2nd hand market.

 

[Spivitz]

My 12 year old drew TS.

 

[ChrisRac]

She didn’t draw the grammys though? I guess the DSLs are a good alternative.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

semi-on-topic...the records that she's setting with this tour are fucking ridiculous. 146 shows, will gross well over $2b (current record is held by Elton John and is $940m for 330 shows over 5 years, WHAT)

They added dates in indianapolis for november 2024 so I looked just for the hell of it. Absolute garbage seats are $1000 and the Fri/Sat shows are mostly sold out already. 14...months...early.....

I bought tickets to Metallica at Soldier Field last year in Nov 2022 for shows in August 2024. It was nearly 2 full years before the show and still 11 months away.

I was reading an article that the cheap seats are up to $7k now at some venues. What's happening is this is turning into a social media badge of honor to be able to post from and after flood your IG feed with pics of you and your people at the swifty concert. Kids are just killing for the chance to go just to be able to post about it the next day. My daughter is 13 (not a swifty) and says that a ton of the girls in her grade went and are like local middle school social media celebs now.

So sad what younger people find important these days.

I'm pretty indifferent on TS but with how nutso the stats are on this tour, I'd go just to see what all the hype is about and to see a tour that's setting records that will probably stand for a long long time. BUT i'm not spending $4k for two crappy seats.

You'll quickly see about 40,000 15 year olds not watching the concert but actually turned away from the concert with their phones pointing at themselves while they are attempting to capture their joy as Taylor sings some nothing song in the background...LOL

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

what is truly, truly crazy to me is the economics & scale of it. Average 72,000 attendance per show, 146 shows. That's 10.5 MILLION people paying what if you average it out....$2500/seat? If the cheapest seats in indianapolis are $1k, $2500 is probably low but whatever.

how the hell can that many people afford such an expensive show. it's lunacy

 

[ZXMustang]

In her defense, shes been relevant for about two decades at this point.

[P40E]

What surprises me is that she allows the price gouging ticket sales . She has enough money.

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

I love when people complain about others having "enough money"

I mean even if you're not a fan of her music, you have to respect that she's a fucking legend that's constantly doing things never done before in the industry. This chick may very well become a billionaire from her music by age 35, certainly before 40. Elton john has been performing 50 years and is worth about half that

again...the scale of her accomplishments is almost incomprehensible....it's nuts

Nobody is complaining . She is almost a billionaire . But you do you .

 

[ZXMustang]

Shes actually very generous. I heard she bonused her entire crew a couple of million total or something like that.

The singer recently handed out $55 million in bonuses to everyone working on her tour — from the dancers and sound crew, to catering staff and truck drivers. “These men and women, they live on the road."

Taylor Swift gives over $55 million in bonuses to crew of her Eras tour

Taylor Swift is the gift that keeps on giving.

You're complaining! Good for her, she fucking hustled and worked her ass off (as seen by her having no booty).

 

[Mook]

I bet she fucks with the lights off.

Travis Kelce don't know if he's boinking T.Swift or a 2x4 if the lights are off.

Night vision engaged .

99% of that shit is re-selling seats, how the fuck would she have control over that?

If the tickets at sale cost a few hundred, and a place like stubhub is selling them for $2,000 its because someone is listing their tickets for that price.
