She shouldn't have done stadiums to be honest, even if she was able to sell them out. The show feels far too intimate to translate to such huge crowds and the stage was not really build for it. You just don't do stadiums without a catwalk or something going inside the crowd. I can only imagine how bad she feels coming out on that B-Stage, it was the worst seeing her perform facing so many empty seats I hope her team learns from this.

All of this is stupid. You don't do shows for them to sell out, it's a form of promotion and to make money - selling out is a bonus. She's sold out lots of stadiums before, just this time she didn't. She sold at least 40k tickets in London and made a few million from it, why would an artist not do that? So the press won't talk about the tickets unsold? Like you would leave a cheque and disappoint all the fans that bought tickets - just to avoid sensationalised press? That would be a d*ck move.
As for her staging, that's irrelevant. Everyone who has been has been happy with the stage, set and the reviews from critics and audience has been her best ever. And she gives a speech every night saying how thankful she is that people turned up. She used to play to like 300 people on her first tour, and now she's playing to thousands in Europe, she really isn't the type to cry about it like some of your faves.
She knows her album underwhelmed and she knows her tour in the UK isn't as strong as it was in 2013, but that's not an excuse to cancel or be ashamed. She still has lots of fans turning up. This whole "she should cancel" or "she should be ashamed" is typical stan mentality. Ya'll want sold out, just so you can brag about it - despite not even buying a ticket yourselves.
