How the **** is Never Grow Up almost higher than This Love?
How the **** is Never Grow Up higher than all of Peak Low's singles except Mine?
It's not a surprise that THIS LOVE charts so low, even though it's my number one on 1989. I hope Taylor always write 1 or 2 flop songs like that ALL TOO WELL was supposed to be the same song like that before it became fan favorite. This time I think Taylor really wants to make YOU ARE IN LOVE as a favorite, she's so in love.
Edit: Mine is a special song, I love it very much. But it's not a good LEAD single. Small group of people love it to death. But other than them, GP includes so many different people, they just love NEVER EVER, which is EASier to say and more POP ular to talk about.
NEW ROMANTICS will be the next huge hit if they treat it well, not just because of its current charting, many people live in the cities can relate to its lyrics very well. And now, Taylor is not country anymore, soooo,,,
Okayyyy, so WTNY was a better opener than I thought. The energy everyone was singing along. I stood up practically the entire time and I didn't care if anyone heard me singing badly lol. New Romantics was amazing for me, I seemed to inspire people to stay standing and to dance and sing haha. I cried when she was coming out, it was really overwhelming to be in her presence. When Blank Space started definitely the fan favorite of 1989. the crowd was soooo loud. I fully enjoyed that one and MR without any videos or photos. IKYWT was absolutely breathtaking. LIke really. 50k people singing the chorus uuuuuuuhhh her vocals sounded etter than I thought throughout most of the night. Anyway, IWYW was amazing for me to se live since it's one of my favorites and a lot of people did know it obviously but some sat down to relax then. HYGTG ahhh, the lightssss, the "I want you for worse or for better" I've never felt so feminine in my life and I didn't care lol. It was amazing and that dress was so crazy. The interludes were great too. I couldn't see many backdrops because of my angle but I saw enough. Her speeches were long and frequent but I did not get tired of them I can't believe she directed those to me (let me believed). AYHTDWS was such a highlight the music spoke for itselft. I Know Places was a dream come true. It was more than I imagined. Everyone sung the IIII IIII and Hiiiiiide it was magical. She then brought Rachel (?) to sing Fight Song and I although I'm not a fan of that sing it's so powerful live, I won't lie. Clean was everything. Live therapy. I sang so loud and started crying Love Story classic. Such a stadium anthem. Everyone sang along and I felt so connected to the whole stadium. YAIL was so freaking cute. I guess because she told us to sing the echoes, some people only sang that part but I sang it all. Then when she came out of nowhere with Style ahhhhhh. Another very clear fan favorite. No one sat down as far as I could see. That thumping beat cleansed my soul catharsis in song form. This Love was another important performance for me. She sounded so good there I never truly knew how captivating she was, how amazing her stage presence was until last night. The sradium was shaking with Bad Blood.one of the loudest moments for sure, it was epic. WANEGBT was holy. Pure holiness. Another stadium anthem. Enchanted/Wildest Dreams was everythingggggggggggg. Perfect ugh. The build everyone sing ing "wildest dreamss ahhhhahhhh" breathtaking.OOTW as the peak of my life as I suspected. The drums the chorus the bridge it was another one where I didn't see anyone sitting. Areweoutofthewoodsyetareweintheclearyet. Ahhhhhh. SIO no words can describe the energy of 50,000 plus people dancing and singing to this song. I could not keep it together. The colors, the fireworks, that catwalk ahhhhhh. Perfect closing.
Overall, one of the best experiences of my life. I have nothing to complain about except the negative Nelly I was sitting beside. But she didn't ruin my night so whatever. I was in heaven. Most of my favorite moments remain memories and I will happily always keep them thay way. What a night.
Thanks!
These are the stories I was waiting for, glad you had fun there. I'm kind of relieved after reading your review especially about WELCOME TO NEW YORK. Can NOT wait for my show.
SHAKE IT OFF is the first LEAD single
BAD BLOOD is the second LEAD single
NEW ROMANTICS is the third LEAD single, I'm not even joking, many people even do NOT know this song exists. You know, it's a bonus track.
Edit: I used the word LEAD to seize ATTENTION but they are really lead single material: SIMPLE and CLEAR idea, MAKING PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT. But honestly SIO and BB are better at all these. Edit2: So was NEVER EVER.
"No stage presence"...I wonder if that's why literally every single review of her concerts make it a point to clarify that she has it in spades? Ha.
Quote:
I'm a 28-year-old guy who lives in New York — not your typical Taylor Swift fan.
But I decided to attend the megastar's "1989" World Tour when it came through Pittsburgh in early June after hearing she put on a good show.
I came away from the experience with a new understanding of why so many people are obsessed with Swift.
She has emerged as a mega-celebrity, built an entire brand around her image, and amassed some $200 million in wealth.
But at the same time, Swift manages to appear down-to-earth and approachable, a reputation she's cultivated by interacting with her fans relentlessly on social media and also in real life.
It was also clear how meticulously she had prepared for the show — she was a master of controlling the crowd and their emotions.
For me, the experience started as I approached the venue. Unlike other concerts I've attended, the crew's equipment trucks were parked on the walk leading up to Heinz Field.
The brightly colored trucks made the perfect background for concertgoers who wanted to pose for photos before the show — and everyone did. It also got fans psyched about the concert well before Swift appeared onstage.
Anyone within a half-mile of the stadium knew what was going there on that evening.
It was also the only show I've been to where there were huge lines to get into the 55,000-seat stadium a full two hours before the opening acts were scheduled to go on.
Those Swifties were dedicated.
Once inside, I was handed a bracelet without much explanation (more on that later), and headed to my seat. I quickly realized how carefully constructed the Taylor Swift concert experience was.
It's not uncommon for venues to play recorded music ahead of the opening acts, but every five minutes, we would be shown a short video feature featuring Swift. There were several categories: quizzes ("what are the names of Taylor's cats?"), behind-the-scenes video shoots, and scenes from her "1989" "secret sessions" — private events where she invited fans in several cities to come to her house, eat freshly baked cookies, and listen to her new album before it came out.
All of these clips made me feel like I knew Swift personally, like I was right there with her as she completed her album and started her tour. The woman sitting next to me had had a chance to meet her backstage, and she said that in person, the pop star seemed very approachable and "smells really good." She told me she thought Swift made a good role model for her daughter, which turns out to be a pretty common sentiment among moms.
The opening acts, Shawn Mendes and Vance Joy, were solo male guitarists who made a stark contrast for the spectacle to come. Both acts took numerous opportunities to thank Swift and say how lovely she was. It was fascinating to see how much the star had permeated the stadium.
Finally, at 9 p.m. on the dot, Swift came on stage. The roar from the crowd was deafening.
Once the show started, I finally figured out why I'd been handed a bracelet. The wristband started to light up in tune with the music, increasing in frequency and vibrancy as the show went on. I've never seen something like it before, and thought it was a stroke of genius. The bracelets made the entire stadium pulse to the beat of the music, and heightened the experience for everyone.
Even when I didn't know a particular song, I could watch the LED fireworks lighting up the whole stadium, so I was never bored. The fans were truly a part of the show, and even as the small children in attendance fell asleep, their little wrists still flashed along as they slept on their parents' shoulders.
There wasn't a single flaw in the entire production; the lights, sound, and everything else went off without a glitch. Many concerts have some kind of error that humanizes the experience, but not this one.
Swift's music was as catchy as ever, and I don't think I had realized that she is an extremely talented musician. She plays the piano, guitar, banjo, and ukulele, and on top of that, she's an excellent singer.
Her programmed set built up energy over time, and during her wardrobe changes, the jumbotron lit up with Taylor's famous friends telling stories about their friendship and growing together.
Lena Dunham said it best when she told a story about how she was walking up to Swift, and Swift's security stopped her.
"It's OK, I actually know her," Dunham said. "That's what they all say," a security officer replied.
Swift's unique charm is that she can make everyone feel like they know her, even though they don't and most likely never will. I guess it isn't so surprising that someone who grew up on a Christmas tree farm (another quiz question!) could make 55,000 people feel special at one time, because her family business does it every year.
I definitely fell for Swift's relatable persona, even though I knew that we would never (ever, ever, ever) meet in person. It was the most captivating thing about the musician, and her tour was a physical representation of it. I was so immersed in the experience for two solid hours — and then the music stopped.
As I walked home, still wearing my bracelet — which, after the concert, became a party favor that lit up on demand — I heard countless cars drive by playing songs from "1989." I get why they'll keep coming back for more.

Can you imagine if they were all released at the same time? They would come in the 1, 2, and 3 spots. She would be like the Beatles who had, I believe 6 of the top 10 hits on billboard at the same time in 1964.
But, of course, she wouldn't release these at the same time.
everyone was singing along. I stood up practically the entire time and I didn't care if anyone heard me singing badly lol.

I can't believe she directed those to me (let me believed). AYHTDWS was such a highlight

We need better one.
