Billie saying “no one wants a three hour concert” after Taylor and Beyoncé both just did /are doing the two most successful tours of all time performing for 3+ hours and really honoring how expensive their tickets are is certainly one way to misunderstand what fans want.

So we can probably expect this to go on and on and on until their three albums go head to head at the Grammy ceremony next February. In case you’re already tired of the discourse.

 

the comment isn't anti-anyone. she just doesn't want to do that herself (info further down in the article). Billie Eilish says she won't do a three-hour show: "That's literally psychotic"

 

I’d gladly see my favorite bands play 3 hour sets.

 

Yup same here!

 

The longest set I’ve seen was Punchline playing 37 songs. Would love it more bands did extended sets.

 

I think a 2-2:15 hour set is the sweet spot for me personally. I’ve been to a few 3 hour shows and they’ve tested my patience a little bit. Even Eras was a little laborious in spots, as much as I loved it.

 

Even my fave shows I've seen I'm def checking the time so idk how id hold up for 3 hours. It also seems stressful to plan which songs I'd have to leave and use the restroom for real quick. I'm not opposed to it tho especially if the ticket is expensive and it gets your money's worth.

 

I was fully dissociating by the time Taylor got to Midnights

 

So 12 weeks is what we need to beat? Let’s goooo

 

Still listening to this all the time.

 

Same, but mostly because it's the only thing my wife has listened to since it came out

 

don't think i've touched the whole thing in about a month, but i might remedy that here in the coming days

 

I skip So Long, London every time. To me, that song is so bad.

 

I saw it's cheaper to fly over there to see the show than some US dates. Have yet to see this be true, but I do want to see Eras before it ends. Probably not gonna happen unfortunately.

 

I cashed in United skymiles, so my flights and floor tickets for Hamburg were cheaper than my lower bowl in Nashville and Detroit.

 

That's amazing. I joined the Swift train a little late, only started listening earlier this year. Would loved to have gotten tickets, crazy you got 3 shows.

 

I actually missed out on my presale code by about ten minutes, too. A friend of mine got Nashville simultaneously as I missed out on Atlanta, @Craig Manning got Detroit and went to Pittsburgh instead, and my friend in Germany messaged me after being surprised at how cheap they were and how available. It’s been a fun ride.

 

What's a lower level ticket go for? Resale in states is thousands.

 

I haven’t been able to stop listening to this. In the minority here, but this falls in my top 5 of hers.

 

I think I've hit the Taylor Swift saturation point for a little while, because while I really like this album, I have had zero desire to listen to it in the past three weeks.

 

I listened to Lover and Midnights today for the first time in a bit. Both have much higher highs and lower lows than anything found on here, but I rarely feel the desire to listen to more than 5-6 songs at a time on Poets whereas I put those on and just jammed on through.

 

Has anyone else seen this? The Swifties are really mad at her for not speaking out, I am seeing a lot of angry posts on X and Reddit from them.
