Could Taylor Swift’s mega-tour have fans seeing red on their next COVID test?
There has been some cautious optimism among public health officials that this summer might be the first during which California doesn’t experience a major coronavirus wave — and there’s no evidence at this point that one is on the way.
But California is not in the clear or out of the woods just yet. Transmission does appear to be on the upswing, and there’s no denying the virus’ enduring power to spread, particularly in crowded settings. And crowded hardly begins to describe Swift’s concerts, let alone the fan mania that has surrounded them.
“Given the relatively low rate of COVID-19 community transmission, and the ability of everyone to take sensible precautions, we are hopeful the concerts will not significantly impact community transmission rates,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in a statement to The Times.
There have been a handful of reports of coronavirus infections after Swift’s concerts at the outdoor Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara and elsewhere in recent weeks. But it’s unclear whether those played any more significant a role in terms of spread than other social gatherings or large events, such as the recent San Diego Comic-Con.
The L.A. County Department of Public Health said it has not heard of other areas that have reported a notable increase in coronavirus transmission linked to Swift’s previous stops. Her tour began in March and continued amid a national downturn in COVID hospitalizations — which hit a record low in late June before ticking back upward.

Hmmm... Blaming Taylor Swift concerts for the spread of covid? That’s hilarious - how about say what we have known since summer of 2021, that the vaccines are useless and are contributing to the creation of new more infectious variants.
Cher is still doing pop at 77.
Madonna is 30 years Swift’s senior and they call her the “Queen of Pop”. Though I just think she’s a highly paid whore, but I digress.
Oh, they might both be highly paid whores.
Well at least they’re not griping about church and trump rallies causing covid.
LOL. Truly, I LOLed at your comment.
Perfect!
When she was 10?

No, there will be no Covid upswing due to Taylor Swift. Most of us aren't even taking tests anymore. We get the sniffles and then we get better.
What BS, covid is now just a nuisance , nothing more.
The tour is going to gross well over $1.5 Billion, she just paid bonuses to her staff, she employs over 60 truck drivers and staff to make it all work, It’s called creating jobs and they want her to cancel the CA leg of her tour. Forget it.
I read the truck drivers got $100,000 each :)
Oh, give it a rest already.
Apparently much longer. I didn’t think she was that old. She’s got another 10 years or so. She’s probably the most successful musician in history as far as turnout.
Yes, that’s what I read also
She was more believable and sort of likeable when she was pretending to be the mousy girl in the bleachers who wanted the head cheerleader’s boyfriend. Now that she’s pretending to be some hyperglamorous sex goddess she’s neither believable nor likeable, and the songs are worse.
