Not any more you can't. I can tell you've gone all healthy if you think you can still get a massive bottle of Frosty's for £2.

You most certainly can in Tescos. 

Edit: not Frosy’s.

What does this look like? Correct. It's a festival with multiple stages, massive PA and lights, DJs, bars, food vendors selling festival food, merchandise stalls and lots of toilets. The woman on the stage with long legs and her back to us is Taylor Swift. See that crowd? They are densely packed and (whisper it) heavily male. Don't tell me she won't play festivals and is only of interest to teenage girls.

A six song set at an outdoor Radio 1 promo event is in the same ballpark as Glastonbury, let alone headlining. Yep ok.

2 stages actually Martin. 3 if we're being generous to count the tiny BBC Introducing tent as a 'stage'.

Not surprised it's packed. She is after all playing to crowd primarily geared towards Radio 1's key 14-23yo demographic (plus certain middle aged men)

She'd play Coachella before she ever consider Glastonbury but that's not going to happen either. Just like she's never done Superbowl. She only plays at events that are geared to her fanbase and she knows she'll get a great reaction.

I don't think it's that she wants to play for just fans and is afraid of a poor reception.

I have been thinking, though, that a 'no festival' mindset is quite similar to the way her albums come out; if people want the full album then - albeit only for the first week or two - they have to buy it rather than looking it up on Spotify. So the nearest live music equivalent of that would be making it so the only way to see a definitive Taylor Swift live show would be coughing up the money for a ticket to her own show.
