Yet in order that a ticket for the concert is still covetable, attending must offer a unique experience: one that goes beyond simply hearing the songs played live. Social media is a powerful tool for fans – it allows more exposure for more people. Yet we are surely past the stage when artists can sincerely beg fans to put down their devices and be in the moment: try telling that to the millions of Swifties who don’t live in Arizona, refreshing their feeds and waiting for content to drop. We have all whipped out our phone at a gig within the first few seconds of our favourite song, only to watch it the next day and realise that the video captured nothing of the performance – and that we watched the real performance through our phone. Listening to a recording of a song – or even watching a video of it being performed live – is nothing like being in the room as an artist plays. Swift – along with Beyoncé – offers not just a concert, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “Eras” is by no means the first stadium show to offer an experience far beyond the music – the turning point for this was arguably Beyoncé’s 26-song set at Coachella 2018, which pushed the boundaries of what a pop concert can be – but its lengthy, immersive format seems to confirm that for elite pop stars playing live in the 2020s, expectations have changed. No one is more aware of this than Swift, a savvy marketer always tuned into the zeitgeist, who was furious when a Ticketmaster meltdown prevented thousands of her fans getting tour tickets. Because of bottlenecks, bots and soaring prices, concert tickets have never been more difficult to obtain – and yet footage from them has never been easier to access. Love On Tour, the hashtag for Harry Styles’ recent tour, has 7.2bn views on the platform #TaylorSwiftEras already has 80m. Sensory, intimate and with an existing audience of dedicated fans, pop concert content thrives on TikTok. When you can watch footage of a pop concert streamed live on TikTok from the front row, how do you make it worth buying a ticket? The answer is crystallised in Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour, that opened at the Arizona State Farm Stadium on Friday night: by putting together not just a concert, but a three-hour long immersive spectacle.

Other than music, Chase has tons of business ventures under his belt. “But being able to write it all in the words and music is just very therapeutic to me.” ![]() I always kept that to myself, and that was just one thing I didn’t really want to tell anybody about,” Huddy told NME of the album. “I just never got the chance to tell my stories when it came to love or any of that kind of stuff. Especially “America’s Sweetheart,” which is about the aftermath of Chase’s past relationship with Charli D’Amelio (she also starred in the song’s music video). While his music has assisted with the resurgence of pop punk, all his tracks are rooted in truth. “Just like sprinkle little bits of different kinds of songs, just to, kind of, show them the range and variety that I’m going to be bringing.” “I really wanted to come in with a bang, and that’s like been the main goal from the beginning,” he said of the record while chatting with NME in May 2021. His debut single, “21st Century Vampire” was released in January 2021 with his debut album, Teenage Heartbreak, coming months later in September of that year. ![]() Instead of harping on the negatives, the social media star turned to music. ![]() “I’m not able to meet the people that love and support my stuff, or to even live this so-called fame.” “It doesn’t feel real to me in a way, because I’ve just been surrounded by numbers and stuck at home for such a long time,” he explained to the magazine. However, blowing up online during the age of coronavirus also wasn’t Chase’s plan. Obviously, things didn’t quite work out that way. “When I was a kid, I had my life all planned out. I wanted to build rollercoasters,” he told I-D Magazinein April 2021 about his rise to fame. He got his start during the 2019 Lights Out tour where he and other influencers went on tour and met fans.
