I am a GROWN BLACK MAN From Oakland California and I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT. She is DOPE AF and a Great Song Writer. Her songs are Clever, Witty, AND Self Deprecating in a humorous way. Taylor is the truth.
Im 41 and ive been a Swiftie since 2006 when she was using MySpace to get her name out there.
I'm a Grown White Man from New Zealand, 73yo, I always thought in my lifetime no one would share the mantle of the "greatest performer"with Michael Jackson, but Tay Tay I think does that. I'll die happy now. Congrats from New Zealand
taylor swift has only ever canceled 1 concert in her entire life and that was because there was a military coup!! she plays rain or shine, gives 100% every night. she loves her fans.
As I said above not her fan but what she did in Boston playing in storm till 2 am??? That’s insane . Learned a lot about her after that. This is Elvis / Beatles / Michael Jackson level insanity
@@tonykiriakidis5219 none of the people you mentioned could do 3+ hours showS, and look gorgeous doing it
@@sbprime2483Micheal Jackson literally had women fainted 2 mins in the show mj the goat
@@JACQUEZJOHNSON23 they fainted because he paid them to faint
@@JACQUEZJOHNSON23 I remember MJ and he had serious popularity. The fact I’m even mentioning swift with people like him and older acts Elvis and Beatles etc is a testament to how insane this tour is for swift. I went to ticket hub yesterday to see her international shows. Unbelievable. Shows in Australia and Europa and South America some 6 months away are all pretty much sold out already or they say “less than 1 percent remaining “ .
I paid bigly for a ticket-I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The show was amazing. She took $55 million and gave bonuses to all her tour staff-truckdrivers, singers, sound engineers, everyone. These bonuses were delivered by her dad with a personal note of thanks from Taylor. She deserves all the money she gets, all the accolades...her parents, who travel with her, raised her right.
I saw her show in Seattle and she also gave "a considerable sum" to our local food banks whole in town. We are grateful to Taylor and her wonderful family 💖
"Bigly"
Okay, Trump
@@carlabarrick8538Yes! She is donating to food banks in every city she performs in.
she is amazing man 18 years and still at the top if you dont get why she is this famous you have to go to her show she is insane this tour gonna go as the biggest tour in history
Mid
She also gave a big bonus to everyone involved working on the tour, for a total of $55 million, the truck drivers each got $100,000 bonus. Also, in every city she toured, she made big donations to the local food banks. She believes in treating people right and giving back.
Taylor Swift seems like a genuinely good person and talented lady. Good for her.
That was so nice and touching what Taylor did for the late great Kobe Bryant’s youngest daughter
God bless
second youngest but yes
I’m a 53yo truck driver and I went to see Taylor Swift when she came to Minneapolis. The show is amazing. I’ll do everything I can to see her again the next time she comes up her. And I’ll try and take as many of my lady friends as possible.
I’m just going to say, my band plays a 90 minute set and we all need a full days nap the next day. To do three hours consistently, night after night. She’s the top of the top
When I heard she was planning on performing 42 plus songs resulting in a three hour show, my first thought was that it doesn’t sound sustainable. But she’s doing it! I think she does shows on Fri, sat and Sunday with 4 days off. Still sounds exhausting.
I saw her perform on Friday March 31st, and I needed a full day to recover just WATCHING her. The adrenaline rush is absolutely exhausting, and she performed the next two nights after I saw her. I know she has a whole system to take care of herself, but even with that idk how she does it!
she's young, but i don't care who you are. 3 hour sets multiple times a week is gangster. you have to be a different kind of artist to put yourself through that. but that's why she deserves everything she gets.
I didn't think I'd see a concert better than her Reputation tour because it was so good. Then I saw the Eras tour, and Taylor really leveled up! You get a lot of bang for your buck.
She's overrated!
@@zechariahcameron3645 for you!!! not for millions of other people.
In america she played continuously for 3 nights and now in Mexico she's gonna play continuously for 4 nights. This woman has strength. And she deserves everything she is getting, all the love, happiness, fame . She is one of the most talented and amazing person. A real gem of a soul. And her work ethic and humblenes so inspiring. proud to be a swiftie.
Taylor’s doing 6 sold out shows at SoFi. Never been done before, amazing.
In 2018, I flew from New Zealand to Arlington Texas for my 68th birthday. Total of $6k and 30hrs in a plane. I'm now 73yo and unable to fly but I would do it all again. She's amazing, I cried lots in the concert 😢🎉
She's the nicest and more hardworking celebrities I've ever seen. She really goes out of her way to do things for people. I'm glad fame didn't change her. There are some much people who think they're better, know better than everyone else because they're so praised and loved and rich, that they don't owe anything to anyone. Those $55 million in bonuses she gave to the workers will make a huge difference in their lives too.
❤️❤️❤️She deserves all the best superlatives… God given superstar performer and NOBODY will ever be on that level for a very long time ❤️❤️❤️
yes, she have a golden heart
Bruh I'm a man and I love Taylor Swift. She's a beautiful and gorgeous and wholesome and hot woman. I love her music too!
Same! I'm not straight, but I have loved her since Fearless and saw her Red Tour, and watched the stream of the Eras Tour, Taylor Swift is a goddamn QUEEN. She has not let fame change her one second. Her parents raised her right. I have never seen another celebrity with such kindness as her. A self-proclaimed Swiftie here.
Taylor has bops on bops on bops. I thoroughly enjoy ALOT of her songs.
Team Taylor always!!!!!
The joy, happiness, hugged-in-warmth feeling that Swifties feel from Taylor Swift is priceless. All Taylor has ever been or done is been her true, authentic self. So easy & natural because it’s who she is. How refreshing. So many artists are sooo consumed with all the bullshit they lose themselves in the process & their fans go, too. They should all try to learn to love & accept themselves for who they are & trust their fans will follow. When in doubt, they should look to Swift.
I love Taylor Swift ❤❤❤ good soul...an inspiration to everyone...
Also she recently paid a total of 55 MILLION dollars in bonuses to each and every employee of the Eras Tour (even the truck drivers got a 100k bonus EACH on top of their salary)! She's actually really cool
I was a fan of Barcelona for 2 decades and of NBA for one. But my obsession with Taylor Swift was on another level after about 6 months. And now it's really hard to put in words. She's absolutely the 1 and only.
Taylor is setting the bar really high.
He is so right! She is amazing and her concert was just incredible. In today’s world where we are all so isolated and experiencing so much in an online world, experiencing the same joy with 75,000 people in Philadelphia (plus 25,000 more just outside the stadium) brought a sense of peace and connectedness I hadn’t felt in years. Would I see her again? Oh I would see her as many times as my life would allow me.
Beyoncé superstar - Bruce Springsteen older but superstar - Drake same. All these incredible acts who do fantastic but let’s be real Taylor swift is making those yours look like little league . How she sells out NFL not NBA/ NHL but NFL stadiums 75k plus seats and she does it 2-3 days in a row. I heard sofi is 6 shows . Then these international shows Brazil - Argentina as far as Australia and all Europe are almost all sold out already. This tour is making more than the next 3 combined . Not a fan of hers but respect the 44 songs and 4 hour sets and what she did playing at 2 am in Boston on n rainstorm is crazy. She about to join billionaire club on
Music alone . Insane
Did you hear what she gave everyone who works for her? She gave $55 million in bonus checks, and the truck drivers (all 50 of them) each $100,000.
@@Violet316 yes yesterday I heard it somewhere. Again another amazing gesture
I went to 2 shows with my family and friends best night ever
She gave a $100,000 bonuses to each of her truck drivers, and a total of 55Mill in bonuses across the rest of her crew. She definitely deserves every penny she’s getting!
Taylor deserved everything she have, she worked very hard for it, shes a prolific song writer. But above all shes a beautiful inside and out. Feet still planted on the ground, very humble,very thankful ,she shares her blessing ,giving her own money to foodbanks, charities and $55 million in bonuses, Wow, thats why we love and support her.
She brings America together again
Taylor has never forgotten that everything she has is because of her fans....
As a Lakers and Kobe fan, that brought tears to my eyes. Taylor is class 🙏. Bless you Bianca and the whole Kobe family.
Taylor is a big Kobe Bryant fan and the kids are long time Swifties ❤️
I went to the one in Santa Clara, CA...even the parking attendants made sure we could get out the parking lot smoothly (and I truly believe TS has something to do with it). That's how TS cares about her fans, not to mention the 100K bonuses she has given her crew...from truckers to the musicians. The concert was magical, amazing, and perfect. Her voice was amazing...she was a machine! Glad I went with my wife and daughter.
I was so lucky to watched Taylor Swift in Jakarta Indonesia for her Red Tour for the first time and fell inlove with her until now. She is the most talented and down to earth superstar. I hope she will shine more and ❤❤❤❤
I've seen band members perform for like 90 minutes and rest for the full next day. When i heard about her performing 3 hours for two/three days I was amazed.
I think Stephen A gonna get 1 million subs this guy is well known and people care what he has to say
Captain Obvious 👆
Na, if he hadn’t hit a million by now it isn’t going to happen
The older sister got a gift before the tour too- and wore it at Sofi. Their mom posted a video of Gigi & her older sister singing "You Belong With Me" - Girldad Kobe & TS were mutual fans.
Kobe Bryant Thinks Taylor Swift is 100% Killer th-cam.com/video/0KUa_RegHjg/w-d-xo.html
Lol, the fans also made a fantasy Swiftball ballot about the tour that is played globally along. Also friendship bracelets that became a huge trend on this tour referencing one of her songs from her album- trading or gifted among fans, celebrities & strangers. Flavor Flav commissioned some also- and the trend is spreading among other artists & their concerts.
I think this is awesome coming from Stephen A. considering he is straight-up serious sports commentary-he tells it like it is,no-nonsense,highly respected in the sports arena.For Stephen to step out from the sports spectrum for a moment and talk about a music superstar likeTaylor,is unusual unto itself,so it validates her worth yhst much more.He was also touched that Taylor gifted Kobe's daughter at one of the shows,too.I think that certainly struck a warmness chord with him ,as well.She honored Kobe's daughter in such a loving way.
I got forced into seeing one of her shows & I was blown away at how good she was. I’ve heard her albums over & over and they aren’t bad but it’s not to my taste but her live shows are something. She could play anything good.
I paid dearly for two tickets for my daughter and myself. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Excellent show
They don't sit down. They stand
she's on another level, no one ever came close
She’s the Kobe of artists
Exactly SA
When tickets came out via ticket master the prices were between 49 and 549 dollars. The tickets that costs thousands of dollars are the ones ones sold by resellers such as stubhub, vividseats, etc. The problem is that ticketmaster owns stubhub so within the first hour that tickets were put out via ticket master the resellers sites had already thousands of seats and ticketmaster was out. I know this first hand bc I was in the queue for seats for the first leg of the US, the second leg for the miami dates, the Lyon ones in France, and the one in Edinburgh and I couldn't get seat anywhere. While I was in the queue for all these places, I had the resellers websites opened and I could see all the seats they had going for thousands of dollars. Taylor makes money from tickets sold by ticketmaster but not from resellers.
Nice shout out about Taylor!
She also donates in every city she plays in. It’s either to food banks, homeless shelters or both! .
The donations are large sums of money!
ATTN: TH-cam: What is it going to take for you to STOP putting billboard ads over the video before it ends? It is beyond annoying..
Love hearing your take on all things pop culture ❤
They don't even sit down they stand up the whole entire concert
Kind of makes you wanna tell Kanye to sit down and shut up.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
PREMIERE LACROSSE LGE was lit todayy
I'm still broke 😂❤.
And she performed in the pouring rain
❤🙌🏻
Even the great kobe Bryant called her a killer when it comes to work ethic and her craft so that's all any real one needs to hear nothing else 💯
Her and Kobe are cut from the same cloth. She’s never satisfied with what she’s done, she strives to do better than the previous album. She’s a mj, Kobe, Lebron , but in the music industry. I was never a fan of her music , but her music grew on me because of her work ethics. The next big time musician coming up with the same mentality is Lainey Wilson, that woman is an absolute work horse.
...every penny!
Easier to see what you're showing if you don't have ads covering the freakin screen...........................
I spent 3k for my fiance. Was worth it though. Show was amazing
❤
It's Bianka not Briana. At least get Kobe's daughters name right.
Lot of Taylor named babies will be born for many generations to come, Kanye not so much😂
Got Kobe’s daughter name wrong twice..
So, does that mean his message is lacking ? No. Perfection is overrated.
@@sunrae7680 he says "Kobe, my friend, my brother." yet doesn't know Biankas name. idk mane
……..
Yeah when you get undress and all songs are break up songs no wonder you put mj over bron you ain't got no taste case over.
Not all her songs are break-up songs, Twenty-two, Ronan, Speak Now, Enchanted, Willow, The Great American Dynasty, The Best Day, Christmas Tree Farm, This is why we can't have nice things, Lover, Stay Beautiful, Mine, Mean, Dress, Delicate, Shake it off, Look what you made me do, You need to calm down, So you'll get better, ME, Fifteen, A place in this world, Thug Story, End Game, Miss American and the Heartbreak Prince, The Man, Welcome to New York, Safe and Sound, Eyes Open, Carolina, The lucky one, New Romantics, Change, Fearless, Long Live, Anti-Hero, Bejeweled, and MORE. And Taylor wears 2 outfits together so she can do costume changes in seconds, when she needs to change for certain ones, she goes off stage and has a small army help her, then she is right back on stage. Don't talk smack when you don't know diddly.
@@Violet316 which of those songs are hits? None, stop embarrassing yourself I don't even care for any of her songs and you get offended please its just music and she does her shows in bikinis lets see how an old lady at 80 will look in bikinis. When she gets to McCartney, Dylan, or Lennon level of writing let me know. Peace out.
@@114db She has sold over 300 million records. I had never thought someone could ever catch Elvis or The Beatles in total sales. Dude she is still young and can do it. Show a little more respect towards her. I’m an old fart, not really a fan of that type of music, more Bruce Springsteen, but I respect Taylor for what she has accomplished. Show her some respect.
@@gracedagostino5231 Sales doesn't equal quality look at her music videos and pay attention to what type of propaganda she does Ariana is the smaller version of her. My gosh Adele beats her she has better voice and lyrics. There is more people on this planet that like trash than true music.
So was Jackson and look what he did. I'm just talking music. A lot of stuff that she does is respectful. But her music lyrics is not at any level. Trends come and go she just like Ariana trend to this gen. The Beatles will never fade.
U BIGTIME TOO STEPHEN A., love love ya, but u aint TAYLOR SWIFT. NOBODY IS.
I do like Taylor must admit🫶🏽💯❤ Not saying she can touch Beyonce BUT something good don't always have to be as deep.
What's Beyonce have to do with anything 😂😂
@jonjhon8491 Nothing to do with you, obviously🙄
to be fair no one can touch beyonce tho (i can't think of anyone)???????? but taylor's doing AMAZING too
@@oolongtea4013no one can touch Beyoncé at what Beyoncé is doing. No one can touch Taylor Swift at what Taylor Swift is doing. Simple is that. Both are the best in their lanes.
Beyoncé is great but right now there is no comparison. Swift tour has taken over America. And judging by what’s happening in Argentina and Brazil also Australia and Europe it says those shows are selling out at record rates. Again her your Stephan a wasn’t lying may catch a billion . That’s unheard of. Elton John got 700 (highest until this year)mill once but Taylor may double that
V and the girls deserve all the love we can give them. 🩷
