Further proof that PT Barnum was right!
She’s a big lib and encourages her fans to do everything they can to get DemocRATS elected. When our side’s entertainers and athletes try that crap, the “media” lynches them. Using Jason Aldean and “Sound of Freedom” as examples. Swift needs to shut up and sing. She also needs to tell the unions that if any of them ever worked for a living, they’d know you just don’ postpone Taylor Swift concerts. Well, unless you’re doing it for “the cause” and don’t care about your fans.
Now if only Meghan could be AWOL from planet earth and Taylor Swift could postpone her concerts forever.
Every few years there is a concert tour that young girls will absolutely HAVE to go to. Their rich stupid parents will pay up whatever the price is to make their little princess happy.
There are many people that have learned how to take advantage of this.
People have been scalping tickets for years. Stub Hub and other ticket resale companies have just made it easier.
It all started with The Beatles...
Of course my daughter had to go there.
The tickets are cheap, she hollers.
I was able to pick up a pair
For forty-seven dollars.

Politician:
“housekeepers and other hotel workers can’t afford to live close to their jobs”
It is the lefty politicians who have made it insanely expensive to build housing anywhere—regulations on top of regulations on top of regulations.
They cause the problem and then try to blame everybody else.
This idea of postponing a concert at a stadium is just a stupid statement by a politician for political points. They know it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to reschedule an event like this.
Concert tours are highly coordinated events. Planned atleast a year in advance. The stadiums are all booked well in advance. Not to mention all the people who have bought tickets, booked hotel rooms, plane tickets, rental cars, limos and maybe taken time off work to attend this show.
I worked at the Carrier Dome at Syracuse U in Events production during my last two years in college there. I got some first hand experience what it takes to put on major concert tours. The trucking company that brings in the staging has two sets of the exact same equipment. So, when you are setting up in Syracuse, they are taking down the previous show in Pittsburgh.
For example, when Bruce Springsteen came with the Born in the USA tour(1985) we started setting up the dome on Wednesday. We finished erecting all equipment/staging, floor seats on Thursday evening. The band came in and did sound checks on Thursday night. They did two sold out shows of 50K people on Friday and Saturday. Immediately after the Saturday night show ended at 11 pm we took everything down and packed it into the trucks. Took down all the chairs on the floor and turned the Dome into the basketball arena for the SU/Georgetown nationally televised game on Sunday at 1pm. I worked 24 hours straight. Best $5/hr job I ever had.
Before my time. I have heard all the Beatles shows used to smell like urine. From all the girls that literally peed themselves with excitement.
Yeah, lets see how many hotels these jackasses can close,
permanently. That would put a lot of people out of work
permanently.
Swell idea... /s
“I am sorry that you had a bad experience from a uncaring pet owner.”
I appreciate your kind and well formulated response. As soon as I made my post I realized I was being very harsh and I was anticipating an angry response. You were very perceptive to recognize that I am agitated from not just one but numerous bad travel experiences with inconsiderate dog owners. Further, my post had nothing to do with the topic of Taylor Swift, etc. and I should have let it go. So in that spirit, thanks for understanding and all the best to you.
I don’t travel to big metropolitan areas any longer I quit doing that right before after 9/11 because air travel became a pain in the rear end and so I shifted my my contracts and then retired 12 years later to a rural area with no interstate, no train, no airport, and no public transportation, and a bridge with a fee.
Problem solved for the most part.
These are her final U.S. shows before she heads south to Latin America.
