Taylor Swift

“She's grossing an average of 13.6 million per show. The average ticket price is 1300 dollars.”

“People really desire this like tribal connection to other people and to have a shared experience in the real world again. And that to some extent, this is one of the inputs driving this business output that we're talking about.”

“This is so fake, and I think of her as a great artist and a savvy businesswoman, but this is something else. This is a stunt, and it's making me rethink my admiration for her.”

“And little known fact, the day that Usher got named the Super Bowl halftime star, who, by the way, is Scooter Braun's BFF, Taylor shows up at the NFL game and totally steals the, all the NFL audiences attention”

“She's so clearly recreating the media overexposure of the 1989 era just in time for the 1989 re-release. That, to me, is what's going on.”

“I think it's, like, the, maybe the biggest pop culture event in a decade or two.”

“I saw somebody did an analysis, and of the five hours of football and the playoffs, they only showed Taylor for 109 seconds or something like that.”

“I think the most remarkable thing I saw was there were more signs in the audience that said Taylor or cutouts of Taylor Swift than there were for any other athlete or either team.”

“Every video he posts does more views than the Super Bowl we'll do this year. With Taylor Swift, he will do more views with every video he posts.”

“I think that you, it's probably arguable that since the brain injury problem that really diminished the NFL's brand, I think no single action has brought a larger new audience into the NFL. Maybe, maybe an NFL history.”

“It's like comedy is so cheap to make that it's so high margin, right? Like, that's kind of the beauty of comedy, right? Is like, you think about like staging like a Taylor Swift show versus some dude with a microphone, right? It's like, oh, the microphone guy …”

“She's gonna buy a sports stadium franchise team.”

“She's pretty tapped out on her tam, I would say.”

“And my prediction is that I think we're going to get like a hardcore America, like, you know, rock album next.”

“Well, I think there's this interesting thing where, like, people try to metabolize new releases of things, like, in the first hour after they launch, and something that's 31 songs long, or even You know, new gadgets that take a long time to understand. It's li…”

“She brought more people to Paris than the Olympics are expected to.”

“As we head into yet another fierce election cycle, obviously there's only, and there's only three things that engage anyone, which is politics, the NFL and Taylor Swift.”

“Guys, she's gonna endorse Kamala.”

“It's like in both cases, whether you're in pop culture, Taylor Swift land, or whether you're in politics, they're both just American pop culture of different flavors. And it's all of this stuff is just WWF characters.”

“I think she added at least ten billion dollars to the different economies of the cities that she toured in.”

“Well, also the, it should not go overlooked that her first podcast is with her boyfriend, thus continuing the go direct trend in media.”

“Yeah, I think she retires by 40, she does her 13 albums, she owns all of them, she makes billions of dollars, she marries Travis, the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, like she does one last final tour, and then she's like, cool, and that was my music career,”

“I think she will be close to Super Bowl numbers.”

“Everyone got their art, but I'm calling it, we're past Pete Taylor at this point if she's doing deals with Hershey's.”

“According to measurement company Mondo Metrics, Taylor Swift and New Heights reached half a billion views across all of the podcast episode across social media in under 24 hours. Three hundred and seventy nine million on Instagram, sixty one million on X, fift…”

“And so I think Taylor is too smart to do the halftime show.”

“I also think, by the way, she's gonna do the sphere.”

“Yeah. I think there's going to be a huge Sphere residency.”
