No, just another person converted into thinking she'd be a good choice. 

Thank you Kate. 

That other person isn’t wrong tbh. 

[Wooderson]

How big a crowd does Swift get? She’s the first pop megastar I’ve no notion of. Getting old.

I've seen a considerable amount of older guys with Midnight Oil t-shirts this summer, putting them back in my conscious mind. Well, why not.

Given that she only does her own shows there's no real data about whether she attracts the fence-sitters.

Did 6 uk stadium shows this year ..which seems to make her more popular than the Stones, but less popular than Pink.

[Wooderson]

The “6-Act” live show looks a contrived mess.

I must say I have been enjoying @The Nal's recent foray into avant garde posting

While it's good to see the medium being pushed forward, jj200 deserves credit for the true innovation.

Pyramid

Friday : Pablo Honey
Monday : get new tyres (rear only, do NOT let the garage talk you into getting all 4)
your birthday: fucking hell it's Lady Gaga!

Other

Charli XCX: Charli XCX
Friday and Saturday... no, not Sunday as well, don't push your luck: So basically Werchter have moved their festival forward a week to book these. I think they're booked their for Sunday this year and from past history of play 6 times and 3 in 12 years they sell the tickets, this would be 4 in 19 years. Monkeys played this year, Macca only played in 16 and as said it didn't sell out...it was Thursday but he's huge enough to sell it...I've known others that have. I also personally didn't see it being the most solid year, their dip maybe if you like. Kendrick, it would be two summers after release of Damn and I don't think either Werchter or Glasto will go for that...Glasto would certainly want it when it's new and fresh and he did Puckelpop this year on a 2nd year. Also Stormzy isn't going to headline after never playing Werchter anyway. 

I think Florence would get booked again for both already but I'm unsure a fest would move for her....she does sell well though.

Park

Friday: that band yer dad used to like when he was your age
Saturday: something fucking tedious
Sunday: the shoe drops, the Park stage isn't real, it was a confidence trick all along and you bought into it like the unquestioning mug you are. You're just looking at a wall you idiotic turd. You make me sick.

Olly murs is not a festival headliner.

Calvin Harris should be on the other stage.

Kylie is doing the legends slot.

The other stage headliners are not going to be there as people haven't heard of them.

This is a tricky one. In pure pop terms she's simply huge - probably as big as anyone you can think of. Both she and Sheeran's names were used as the "bait" for the Capital FM Christmas show and The Biggest Weekend (in Swansea). Both sold out in a matter of minutes. The crowd to see her in Swansea was absolutely rammed though I had the impression most were not hardcore Swifties. At £18 a ticket there were always going to be a huge cross section of people. There is still a huge untapped "crossover" market out there for people who would happily pay a good whack to see melodic rock like Def Leppard, Thunder and Fleetwood Mac but still see her as a lightweight pop act. Then there are the cross genre people like myself who will be seeing King Crimson, Public Service Broadcasting, Hawkwind and Slayer in the next few weeks. She wants to reach all those markets which is why I'm sure a Glasto appearance is a distinct possibility.
