Taylor Swift tops list of "Female Singers of the 21st Century", tour tops 1

Billboard released the list on March 19, which includes solo artists and band members. The results were calculated based on their weekly performance on the Billboard 200 and Billboard 100 charts from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2024.

Taylor Swift holds the top spot thanks to her repeated domination of trending playlists.

To date, she has a total of 19 discs, including 11 studio albums, four Taylor's Version re-recorded albums, and four live compilations. Of those, she has 14 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, equal to rappers Jay-Z and Drake. All three are among the most chart-topping solo artists of all time, second only to The Beatles. As of May 2024, songs from her latest project, The Tortured Poets Departments, have held the top 14 spots on the Billboard 100.

Following Taylor Swift, the top 10 are Rihanna, Beyoncé, Adele, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Pink, Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys. Other notable names include Madonna at 36th place and Celine Dion at 48th place.

Not only that, with record sales, millions of audience participation and profound impact on the music industry, her The Eras Tour was also honored by the iHeart Radio Music Awar.d as the "tour of the century".

Artists typically go on tour after a new album is released, and they usually only perform songs from that album. Taylor Swift herself has done similar concerts: The Red Tour (2013-2014), 1989 (2015), Reputation Stadium Tour (2018).

However, when the blonde artist released her album Lover in 2019, she was unable to tour similarly due to the impact of the global pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, Taylor Swift also regularly released a series of new albums such as forklore (2020), evermore (2021) and Midnight (2023). At the same time, she re-recorded old albums such as Fearless (Taylor's Version) and RED (Taylor's Version) due to music copyright disputes with Scooter Braun.

Taylor Swift fans have been waiting a long time to see their idol perform live on stage again. The last time the singer performed live was on the Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018. This interruption has created a fierce "thirst".

To make up for her fans, Taylor Swift also performed vibrant hits from all her "eras". The Eras Tour is like a "best of" tour, a journey through time through Taylor Swift's musical eras, gathering the best works, instead of just a concert to launch a new album.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is more than just a concert tour. It's a concert for her die-hard fans (called Swifties).

Audiences came not only to listen to music, but also to meet people who shared their interests. They cosplayed and dressed up as female singers from different musical eras, challenged themselves to memorize all 44 songs that Taylor Swift performed live in 3.5 hours, or exchanged friendship bracelets. In the audience, they were immersed in a space of connection and sharing.

Seeing the images shared on social media, many people (including non-Swifties) rushed to buy tickets. They fell into the FOMO* crowd, afraid of missing out on the opportunity to attend the biggest music festival.

The Eras Tour was invested in every aspect. Taylor Swift carefully chose tour venues that were all large arenas, so that she had space to design a grand stage, lighting, and sound. The singer created extremely special moments thanks to stage effects, combined with LED screens and seamless changes of costumes and props. For example, the moment she "swam along the stage" - actually a video projected onto the LED screen - went viral on social media.

To prepare for singing and dancing continuously for a long period of time, Taylor Swift also spent six months before her first show in Arizona, USA, to train her body. Along with training her body, she learned choreography, practiced singing, rehearsed the stage, chose costumes,...

This careful investment has made the fan community happy. Tickets for Taylor Swift's shows are not cheap, averaging from 20 to 30 million VND, not including travel and accommodation costs. However, they believe the experience is worth every penny.

Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour Concert is not as "good" as Anh Trai Vuon Ngan Chong Gai? JLO20:04:47 18/11/2024On social media, an account shared a status: I'm in Canada watching the Taylor Swift Concert. But for some reason, I feel like the stage and lighting aren't as good as the ATVNCG2024 Concert that I watched online.
