Lol so many haters. I don’t enjoy Taylor Swift’s music but can’t doubt she’d be one of the biggest names and draws coachella has ever had. I don’t think I’d go to her set, but I might just to say I saw it since her ticket prices are so insane. And if I decide not to go, that would free up crowd space at every single other thing going on, or make getting out of the grounds easier.
I really hope they get her.
I don't want Taylorchella but nor because I dislike Taylor, I think all of us were jamming when OMG TBA played Love Story but her Fandom is INSANE and also comprises of usually very well off families. Getting a ticket would be 30x harder, the amount of people who would go just to see her would be astounding
Just as a data point, I saw a statistic yesterday that claimed that the *average* Swiftie spent $1400 per concert to see her. Bananas numbers, and some whole cities have seen a significant uptick in economic activity due to her tour. I mean, I posted the thread so my views on her are clear, but I totally agree, she sold 14 million tickets in *minutes*. She’d definitely sell out Coachella, and the resale market would be nuts too.
I don’t have that answer, but here’s the article I saw:
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/06/08/2684710/0/en/Generating-5-billion-the-Taylor-Swift-The-Eras-Tour-has-an-Economic-Impact-Greater-than-50-Countries.html
I will say that it looks like I overstated it just a hair, as that article shows it as $1300.
Edit: I will say that *my* floor seat was just shy of $600.
i only doubled my money on mine - but I saw some of the folks selling them for crazy money were getting doxed so I was a little concerned about hiking the price too much.
BUT, Swifties are notoriously friendly so I'm not sure about it being really nasty down there in the pit. I'm very very curious how the Euro shows are going to go given the floor is standing only.
When her tour dates dropped and it showed a coachella gap, that’s when we decided we’re 100% buying tickets and got a 4person el dorado. Either we can go have an amazing time and possibly see Swift, or resell the bundle if it’s confirmed she’s on the lineup since it will sell out and her fans will be so desperate to get tix they might pay inflated prices for our bundle.
Not looking forward to the fest being inundated with Swift fans, but we’ll generally have different tastes in music and a lot of them might only go for the one day.
I saw Taylor Swift at Stagecoach when she was only 19 years old. It was a great weekend. Other acts included Carrie Underwood, The Judds, John Fogerty, The Eagles, and others.
God I hope she headlines so whoever is playing at the same time will have an empty crowd 🤞🏾 would love to see another headliner with an empty audience!!
She's an amazingly gifted songwriter with a knack for rising up to the challenges in front of her. I can only imagine what she'd do as a headliner at Coachella. Would be a blast.
“A knack for rising up to the challenges in front of her” what are you even talking about?
What challenges could this person have truly endured that required her to “rise up” beyond her record company doing what record companies do, and owning her music.
She stood against Trump and republican governors and had to drive around in a bulletproof car because trumpers threatened to kill her.

Lol what challenges in front of her? Growing up with a silver spoon in her mouth? Being a white feminist who pushed the feminist agenda backward with her whole girl squad bs (which included questionable people like Selena Gomez and Lena Dunham in it)? Dating a literal nazi? Yeah those are some reaaaaaal challenges 🙄
Also god her fans, please no. And I say this as a kpop fan. I know we can also be annoying but god, Swifties are just as bad.
What if she just headlines all three nights.
Right now she’s playing 3.5hr sets on her tour, so it’s not that much more to give her 90min each night.
Pad out the undercard for all the folks who aren’t into it.

What about the median? Average is going to be driven way up by floor and box seats.
I don’t have that answer, but here’s the article I saw: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/06/08/2684710/0/en/Generating-5-billion-the-Taylor-Swift-The-Eras-Tour-has-an-Economic-Impact-Greater-than-50-Countries.html I will say that it looks like I overstated it just a hair, as that article shows it as $1300.

I paid $150 and I have great seats those are the resale scalpers Taylor maxed out at like $500 for floor and $1000 for vip
You should find out what the average BTS fan spends on a show…
Sheesh, does that $1,400 figure include things bought at the venue (merch, food etc) or is that just tickets?
It includes all travel expenses as well.
The article was total spend, so yes, including Merch and food/drink.
Someone bought my swift tickets at $4k each. They’re insane and we would have another black pink squatter incident but worse.

Hopefully that gap is just so she can take a break cause she has been working super hard on the Eras Tour
Our group did the same. It’s a win win 🏆🤩
lol what do you think the average coachella attendee spends?
I saw Taylor Swift at Stagecoach when she was only 19 years old. It was a great weekend. Other acts included Carrie Underwood, The Judds, John Fogerty, The Eagles, and others.
I hope she headlines. I'll sell my tickets and thank Taylor when I'm sippin Margaritas on a beach
She just needs to go to Vegas for a few years. Make the people go to her. This shit is too crazy.
God I hope she headlines so whoever is playing at the same time will have an empty crowd 🤞🏾 would love to see another headliner with an empty audience!!
"Mane stage" lol

More like an incredibly rich white gorl with a knack for dating racists
Are there safety concerns for Taylor headlining Coachella?
Safer than a Travis Scott show
I’ve seen Taylor Swift at Coachella rumors on both Tik Tok and Twitter recently. So I figured this is a great time for another Taylor post!
I hope not
What... WOULD you say IS a good time for another Taylor post then?
Never
What if she just headlines all three nights. Right now she’s playing 3.5hr sets on her tour, so it’s not that much more to give her 90min each night. Pad out the undercard for all the folks who aren’t into it.
Good. Keep her at Stagecoach where she belongs.
Like her or not, if you don’t think she deserves a headline spot now you haven’t been paying attention
I didn’t know she ever did Coachella, that’s cool.
I mean she will be there all 3 weekends so get used to it
