Extra new Swift date's prove she is willing to do 3 gigs on the trot?

Sunday headliner?

Impressive that not a single stop has just one show

edit: pre this lot of extra dates she was already doing 3 in a row in LA

5 night's at SoFi alone, 70k each night. Mamouth stadium

 

Always fascinated how these big artists are able to sell these massive US stadiums, they're on another level.

Highly unlikely. But still

Unlikely? Downright impossible.

Roughly means the same.

 

Gonna guess it's either Harry Styles or Rihanna now.

 

But it doesn't completely rule her out closing Sunday?

Crazy they are adding so many dates before it even goes on sale unless I missed that

Just under 4 nights at wembley - pretty similar to what big artists do in London if not smaller.

True! But I mean other stadium as well, MetLife nearing 80k.

Presale 15th, unless they've had fan sale etc 

Havent the foggiest

Rihanna has more recognisable bangers than Taytay imho, would be a great booking

Loved Palma Violets. That first album is still full of bangers. They're still going in a couple forms now, the lead singer trying to make a come back. Straying slightly off topic mind you as I don't think he's in with a shot at headlining

I was a fan too but they were definitely marketed towards Libertines fans who missed out the first time around and wanted a Libertines to call their own. Quite noteworthy that people stopped talking about them around the same time The Libertines reformed.

I don't think anyone has cared what the NME thinks for a very long time.

Because they're not even a music publication any more, they're now a BuzzFeed clone that just comments on whatever's currently hot in mainstream pop culture.

Funnily Skybet have upped Taylor's odds after that announcement. 

 

She could do the Sunday and then have 5 days rest till her next show.

Goth Bob has put a few pounds on in recent years.

The only reason I like The Cure is because he's fat. If he wasn't fat I wouldn't rate their music. Him being fat makes their music good.

Doesn’t she like New York?

She's got 3 dates at MetLife which is the closest massive stadium to NY and where both New York NFL teams play their home games.

Not a single white male act on that tour, and all bar one are female. How undiverse and problematic!

I don't think this is true probably quite similar - its more that Taylor Swift has released lots of albums recently that would clog up her set vs Rihanna who will be playing mostly 8-12 year old tunes

Why do you bring this sort of stuff up constantly. Let it go.

Because there needs to be a 50/50 split at every single music event!

On a serious note, there are some good acts on that tour, and judging an artist on anything but their music is silly.

Phoebe Bridgers is dogshit though.

I've run out of reactions for today.

Totally agree, a 100% more exciting booking than Swift. Rihanna actually has bangers.

Why? Representation has been stacked in favour of white males for decades and still is in many ways. There is no need to promote male bands to these positions because they continue to benefit from this. 

Stop being silly.

Sadly no source, it’s a bit of a running joke for me, been touting them on here as a headliner since 2005 I think 😀

But it would be incredible. 

It would be incredible, but even if announced I wouldn't believe it!
