8 shows in LatAm alone?? That's already 60% the amount of the international dates for Rep tour lol. She's finally beating the Anglosphere + Japan-only "World" Tour allegation

[Deleted]

I'm glad she's doing LatAm first. Hopefully SE Asia next and then Europe next Spring. I wonder what she is doing in September/October though??

Maybe Canada followed by a couple weeks off? To me it makes sense to wrap up this side of the world and then do Asia/Europe/Australia etc. next year.

Probably Canada. Maybe 1 or 2 more countries in Latin America. Then she'll announce Europe for the new year and take late November and all of December off.

I noticed that most of these stars charge an arm and a foot here in North America but outside the prices are pretty affordable

Maybe I'll have to partake in a European tour date if the prices are the same in Europe.

right?! I paid $330 each for our tickets to the Eras Tour and they aren't even floor seats :dead:  and don't even get me started on the Beyoncé tickets.

[Taylor.]

I was section 134 row 28 at Met Life and paid I think $220 USD.

1989 (Taylor's Version) promotion

[Choco]

Yeah, minimum wage in Venezuela is about $30 a month, so a cheap $38 is still over a month of income for an average Venezuelan. I recon that Venezuela is a bad example due to political factors though.

220 dollars is equal to 1100 Brazilian reais. The minimum wage here is 1300 reais (40% of the country makes that or less per month), so it's not an army or a foot for most Brazilians, its the whole body. (but obvs that the ones going are middle class or higher).

And it’s likely why some don’t travel to those parts of the world. If it’s all about the money and selling expensive tickets to that Artist, it’s probably not worth their time and energy.

yup, I'm pretty sure this will mark Taylor Swift's first time performing anywhere besides USA and Canada in the Americas. probably wasn't ever worth it to do 1-2 shows earlier on in her career, with lower demand and smaller capacities. really not sure why she skipped taking her Reputation Tour there, though.

she did intend to bring Lover Fest ™️ to Brazil in 2020, but obviously that never happened. she had booked 2 dates at Allianz Parque in São Paulo, so she'll be fulfilling that with her two Eras Tour dates there now.

I’m so conflicted on what I think single #4 from Midnights will be. It needs to be either Vigilante Shit, Maroon, or Midnight Rain.

But then Cruel Summer is just there screaming to be released.

I think they need to go for a viral, one week #1 for SN, then focus on Cruel Summer, then release single #4 in the late Fall. She has so many options here

[👑 Eloquent ™]

I don't think there's gonna be a fourth single from Midnights. Personally, I think the clock striking 12 in the "Karma" video coupled with the Speak Now release signifies the end of the Midnights era and is probably for the best to avoid oversaturation.

I think she’s gonna want to release single #4 right before Grammy Nominations to remind voters how dominant the album was. I can’t see her closing down the era when it’s been as massive as it has been. Taylor will be 100% gunning for AOTY and ROTY for this next Grammy cycle.

I took the same message from the clock in the “Karma” video.

It wouldn’t entirely shock me to see a fourth(fifth counting SOTB) single come months later, around the Grammys, but I would imagine that Midnights is done with singles for now. I think at this point that it would be a mistake not to go with “Cruel Summer” next.

[kimberly]

I think most she will do is release a tour performance "music video" for "Midnight Rain" or "Vigilante Shit" and maybe use it to promote a tour doc/movie. that's the best case scenario I see for a fourth single.

[Choco]

Too many other things going on for a full fourth single (Cruel Summer, Enchanted, SN TV)

[👑 Eloquent ™]

I feel like she's doing something with gemstones. The pearls in the "Karma" video, the ruby slippers in the "Karma" video, the amethyst incense holder for Midnights memorabilia, the diamonds, moonstone, and sapphires in Bejeweled video and lyrics etc. Even the pink gondola in the "Karma" video could represent rose quartz. Watch her push out a gemstone themed album called Pearl December 15th. Lol

The pearls could also be just referencing 1989 again with the pearl romper she wore to the pre-Grammy party in 2015. Idk just lots of gemstones!

[bat1990]

I went to check out "You're Losing Me" snippets on TikTok and I really like the production. It sounds like the before scenario to the after scenario of "Hits Different."

[atg]

I’m pretty sure giving Cruel Summer a simple radio push and music video would help it and make it a bigger hit than Karma would ever be in the long run. Sure you could make the argument that there’s way too much going on for her to push it but it’s literally the most demanded song in her catalog right now.

[Au$tin]

Absolute shameless plug for my personal chart, but it's kinda monumental. "The Great War" just hit #1 on my personal chart, making it the first deluxe edition non-single to ever do so, and it does this while replacing "Karma" at #1. This is only the second time in history an artist has replaced themselves on my personal chart. The first time? Taylor, when "Blank Space" replaced "Shake It Off."

The crazy thing is I don't even consider myself to be a huge stan or Swiftie or whatever, but the stranglehold she has on my personal chart stats is insane.

Edit: this is not top of the page worthy oh my god

[Hefty Hanna]

#2 Hot 100, zooming up CHR. 'Karma' did what it was supposed to do. Huge success for her.

[ampersand]

I'm surprised her team didn't do more to push this to #1. I'm sure if she released signed singles or a dozen remixes like she has in the past this would've gotten there.
