Taylor Swift, recognized as one of the most impactful artists of our time, announced her “Eras Tour” in November 2022, spanning 53 dates across the U.S. and an additional 78 international dates. This marks her return to the stage after a five-year hiatus from touring, during which she produced four albums and re-recorded three previous works. Her concert tickets are in such high demand that resale values have risen to 367% above face value, and they are as elusive as a “Willy Wonka golden ticket.”
Throughout her career, Swift has shown great versatility in her music, transitioning across genres from country to pop to alternative and folk. Her distinctive songwriting approach involves classifying songs into three categories depending on the imagined writing tool – a quill, a fountain pen, or a glitter gel pen. These correspond to songs with old-fashioned lyrics, modern personal stories, and frivolous, bouncy tracks, respectively.
Despite some disagreements with Spotify’s metrics on song characteristics, her emotional storytelling and catchy tunes have earned her an extensive, dedicated fanbase. Taylor Swift’s music has also achieved significant chart success. She ranks second to Drake with 212 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and has made history with her album “Midnights,” occupying the entire Top 10. As her U.S. tour concludes, Pollstar predicts it will break records to become the highest-grossing tour ever, anticipated to gross around $1.4 billion.
