The Eras Tour
Tickets went on sale this morning and already the film is doing MCU-level numbers.

Since going on sale at 7:15 a.m. CT this morning, ticket presales for AMC’s concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour are well past $10M and counting, we hear from sources. By the end of the day, this presales figure will be tremendously north of what we’re seeing. Swift’s presales here bury the one-weekend-play gross of Trafalgar’s BST: Yet to Come, which did $8M earlier this year.
This enormous presales figure for the pic’s four-weekend play is making distribution executives fall out of their chairs — and reach for their Just calculators. They’re trying to figure out how this concert film distributed to the top three circuits, and possibly more theaters, will do in its opening weekend, off what largely will be a marketing campaign fueled by circuits’ social media, email blasts to loyalty clubs and Swift herself.
What does The Eras Tour even comp to in regards to presales?
“Some Marvel movie,” adds a distribution guru.
They’re right: Days before Eternals opened, presales were at $13M. But The Eras Tour is poised to be crazy higher. Keep in mind that Star Wars: The Force Awakens did $20M on its first day of presales — nine weeks out from its release date back in 2015!

She's apparently on track to score 2 billion dollars from this tour. About twice what Elton John scored, who currently held the record at just shy of a billion.
She's making a lot of people happy, she's not whoring herself out, etc. She's maybe the quintessential American success story.
Good for her.

My daughter purchased tickets today, and almost all the showtimes that day were almost sold out.

Bought tickets for the wife and daughters. $60 way better than spending a few grand to get them to the concert

I get why people like her, but I don’t get the absolute hysteria over her and her tour. That being said, good for her. And like someone said, she seems to at least have her shite together and isn’t a frick up, so that’s a positive too.

A friend of mine's daughter's 15th birthday was this week and she told me she bought her a ticket for this. Blows my mind.

The Eternals is the comparison they’re using?

Eh. There are far, far dumber things these people could be doing. As far as I’m concerned, it’s finding ways to keep theaters open. And that’s fine by me.

Aren’t you a big Star Wars fan? Everyone has their thing, bro. Just relax.

I like a variety of things, Star Wars just being one of them. I like some things they do but not others. Taylor Swift I don’t get.

She’s a singer who writes/performs catchy songs that are accessible to people (mostly women) from ages 5 to 55.
A lot of pop music now is either so vulgar that adults don’t want to expose their young children to or themselves don’t want to attend. Rock and rap music don’t capture as wide an audience as pop music. EDM and metal are largely niche genres.
Really not that much different than Michael Jackson in his prime.

Fiancé checked tickets for this near us. Was sold out within a few hours.

Taylor Swift has been around for quite a while it seems like. I don’t have kids, and I’m certainly not her demographic, so I don’t follow her or her music, but I can’t help but notice that she’s seemingly exploded in popularity over the last year or so. My question is Why?
I feel like she was already popular 5-10 years ago, but has recently hit another level just from the amount I see her mentioned on this site, and popular culture in general. She was around long enough before, and had a steady level of fame, I just don’t understand why she’s even more popular now later in her career.
