Taylor is an okay performer + her shows seem pretty fun



so talented

DWT did as good as the first leg of the MCSWT. Again. "She's never been a touring act" Doesn't make sense

The logical deduction is that people went to her shows and weren't impressed by her relative lack of talent (she's still more talented than the average person though) compared to her peers. And would rather invest money on them.

I know you don't like Katy or w/e, but the non-stan war'd answer is that she's more talented.

Who even pays to go to a Rihanna concert?

Like, she can barely dance, can't really sing. She's not a good performer / entertainer. No wonder her tour is flopping.

Then that makes Rihanna worse than the live performer of all time.
But that's your classification. I think Taylor is pretty talented.

My only point is, whatever the sliding scale, Rihanna will always be the least talented major pop girl.
That's not a bad thing. It's just the reality of things. She's impressively done more with less.

No, it's that Rihanna doesn't put on a show like other artists do.
She is kinda lazy when it comes down to touring... its not a talent lack.
I know this because I literally saw her a few months ago. She killed it vocally/choreo wise,
But obviously everyone knows a Beyoncé show will have more talent,
Or that a Taylor/Katy show will be kid friendly (this is SO important) with lots of cool props.

I'm just here to educate y'all.

the video effect

Rihanna's concerts remind me of a typical rapper concert - she just stands there.

Rihanna is just lazy. Look at how barren and bland the ANTI tour is. Not to say it's a bad thing, but it's not suited for a large scale arena/stadium tour.

Taylor is a mediocre performer but she really puts on a show. The production for 1989 tour is insane (she literally bought 26 trucks) and you can tell she puts effort into it. It's why it earns rave reviews and high demand.

struggling with her solo material, struggling with generic collabs.
She's DONE.

Rihanna is fine live when she isn't drunk or high

Duca how does it make you feel that one dance blocked cstf in the uk

He is so ****ing hot
omg

I'm livid but Can't Stop the Feeling! is obviously bigger regardless of the peak

I wouldn't mind if it was blocked by a legitimate smash but it's #1 with 10k

Rihanna stopped smoking on tour.

It's shown.

But yeah, she lacks attention-stealing props like the basic white hick/child panderers.

Literally an embryo

People don't buy Rihanna tickets because her shows are BORING, I know I'll have a good time because she's my fave but the only thing exciting is that she is there, with others you know you'll get a whole new revamp even if you know their showmanship is lacking, I don't blame people for not wanting to pay for the same show over and over again, you pay 50€ to see a model walking, the same limited coreography and insipid stage without any innovation for so long.. If they came to my country and I had to choose one to go see live between Beyoncé and Rihanna after seeing their tour vids I would def go see HASBEYN. It does have nothing to do with "starpower" or "she's over "

At least she's pretty
