THR: Taylor Swift Eras Tour Shows Canceled in Vienna After Arrests Made in Planned Terrorist Attack

Austrian concert promoter Barracuda Music shared the announcement in a social media post on Wednesday writing, “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Vienna Shows cancelled due to government officials confirmation of planned terrorist attack. With confirmation from government officials of a planned terrorist attack at Ernst Happel Stadium, we have no choice but to cancel the three scheduled shows for everyone’s safety.”

 

It was obviously the right decision to cancel the concerts, but I feel so bad for the fans who waited over a year for this, especially those who were about to see Taylor for the first time, or those young children who had their outfits planned and friendship bracelets made. 

I was lucky enough to attend the Eras Tour three times - I was just in Europe last month to see her twice - and one of the favourite moments from the concerts was seeing so many happy young children.  I remember this one girl who was probably 7-8 years old......my friends and I were making friendship bracelets in the hotel restaurant before our concert in Amsterdam......she and her mom walk in, and the girl is decked out in this black reputation style outfit and her hair was slicked back and her wrists were full of friendship bracelets.  She was so cute and the concert was going to be her first ever concert.  And now there are thousands of parents who will have to break their children's heart.  I know it's just a concert and it's good that nothing truly horrendous happened but this really sucks.  

And this coming after those senseless murders of three young girls in the UK who attended a Taylor Swift theme event at their dance studio.   Taylor brings so much joy to people and it's awful to see deranged people ruin that.

The Eras Tour is over. 

Please register in order to view this content

It's been such a huge part of my life these last 21 months, from leaving my country to see her three times, to watching live streams, to scrolling through tons of clips on IG, and to making life-long friends.  I can't wait for the next tour. 

 

Billboard: Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour Wraps as First Tour to Pass $2 Billion in Sales

Swift played to 10 million fans from 2023-24.

On Sunday night (Dec. 8), Taylor Swift played the last of 149 shows on The Eras Tour. As reported earlier Monday, the record-setting trek grossed more than $2 billion and sold over 10 million tickets: $2,077,618,725 and 10,168,008, respectively, to be exact.

The news was first reported by The New York Times. 

Without qualification, The Eras Tour is the highest-grossing tour of all time, by artists of any genre, and from any era in music history. If compared to data officially reported to Billboard Boxscore, it is the biggest tour ever by an unthinkable distance of more than $900 million, blasting past Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour (2022-ongoing) – the only other tour to gross more than $1 billion – by a margin of almost two-to-one. 

Even before The Eras Tour was announced, Swift was one of the most successful touring acts of her generation. Dating back to her first reported solo headline show at Sovereign Performing Arts Center in Reading, Pa. (April 6, 2007), she has grossed $3 billion across her career, when adding The Eras Tour’s sum to officially reported data for her prior tours to Billboard Boxscore. 

Previously, her biggest tour – according to Billboard Boxscore – came when Swift brought in $345.7 million and sold 2.9 million tickets on 2018’s Reputation Stadium Tour, marking a 38% leap from the earnings on 2015’s The 1989 World Tour. The Eras Tour multiplies her prior best more than six times over.

 

--------------------

The bolded part - what an insane stat! She could've played a hundred more shows and they woul'dve all sold out.  The demand was there. The scary thing is, she's brought in NEWER/MORE fans since this tour started.  So there's a possibility, the next tour could be even bigger if she decides she wants to break her own record.

You saw her 3 times this tour?!  I'm honestly jealous! I am planning on watching the tour movie with my husband soon... in pristine 4K. He's not that immersed in Taylor, so I plan to introduce him to her.

Yes, I got very lucky.  Was able to get tickets at face value, so I never paid those ridiculous secondary market prices.  That's awesome you're going to watch the tour movie with him.  Taylor is for everyone. LOL  You could be 5 years old or 65 years old and you would see them at her concerts. She is someone who you can listen to with your family, no matter the age.  It's a reason why her fanbase is so huge - it's very inclusive and welcoming.

It was an anti-Chiefs/pro-Eagles crowd - you could tell from the introduction of the teams at the beginning. Non Chiefs fans don't like them winning a lot and some believe the refs are "rigging" the game for the Chiefs.  LOL   As a Tom Brady fan, Mahomes is still 4 Super Bowls behind Brady.

    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.
