Replacement*
Checked out
My wife and daughter attended the show and were blown away by it. It might not be your cup of tea but she's an ultra mega-superstar for a reason.
Reason being there are no actual superstar musicians these days of note and that the music industry is essentially dying. This is not to say Swift is not talented, that she can't sing, its to say the level of music that is considered the best has sadly and consistently declined since the 60's/70's.
That said I can certainly see it being a good chick time and a bonding moment for mother and daughter to go to see this type of performer. But to that end much of music today seems contrived to this select purpose. Double edged sword. Good experience for select audiences but its designed and carefully crafted to be. In a word its safe.
Also, any number of bland acts today are simply production based performers. Enough lighting, pyrotechnics, stage props and even Nickelback or Spinal Tap can seem like something. Todays concert experience is more and more style over substance.
Too bad about the scams. But also something that gets set in place, and exists, due to how much audiences will pay for any entertainment these days. Peoples acceptance of high ticket prices makes scamming pay. Without such elevated ticket prices it doesn't occur. In a sense the paying audience has done this to itself.
