THE MOMENT WHEN TAYLOR SWIFT WENT ONTO THE 2022 MTV VMA’S STAGE TO RECEIVE THE BEST VIDEO AWARD FOR “ALL TOO WELL” AND ANNOUNCED THE RELEASE OF “MIDNIGHTS”
Just like when it was reported for the first time that Justin Bieber was canceling the shows he had planned at the Estadio Único, EL DIA once again exclusively announces international news that has to do with the arrival in La Plata of Taylor Swift, the young singer-songwriter and composer who, at the age of 33, has become a true phenomenon of sales, reproductions and fans that make her, almost daily, a worldwide trend on social networks.
In what will be his long-awaited first visit to the country, a landing longed for years by his millions of Argentine followers, Taylor will offer two recitals scheduled for October 6 and 8 at the 25 and 32 venue as part of his sixth tour world, “The Eras Tour”.
EL DIA was able to learn that the artist will bring to the City one of the largest shows that have been brought to the country, with an infrastructure that will begin to arrive in La Plata a month before.
Although the official announcement is still pending, the news published at noon yesterday on eldia.com caused a stir, went viral and was even replicated by the media in Colombia, Brazil and Mexico.
Illusion, emotion and hysteria were the general feelings among the fans who turned to social networks yesterday to comment on the news about the arrival of their idol, who will return to live stages in March after five years.
On November 2, the Pennsylvania-born artist had confirmed that she would return to the ring. “I am delighted to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift / The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past and present!)”, the famous singer announced on her Instagram account. At that time, she only confirmed dates in the United States but she announced that, soon, new international recitals would be announced that would arrive from September, meanwhile, until August, she will be filming in her country.
Since then, her fans around the world have been in ecstasy, especially those who, like the Argentines, have been waiting for her for years. And there was such an expectation to see her live again that, on November 16, when the first shows went on sale, the sales system collapsed. For this reason, yesterday, many local fans were already fretting over the possibility of not being able to get a ticket: “how come Taylor is going to give only two shows, if we are 45 million,” one tweeted. But, not to worry, because it may happen like in the United States where, before the avalanche, Swift’s team, which had originally scheduled 27 performances for the first part of the tour, ended up including a total of 52 dates.
A month before announcing “The Eras Tour”, Taylor returned to the drums with “Midnights”, the tenth studio album that marked her return to pop after her flirtation with alternative folk on the intimate “Folklore” (2020) and “Evermore”. ” (2020), which was followed in 2021 by the re-recording of two of her classic albums, “Fearless” and “Red”, which made the American an omnipresent figure.
Comprised of 13 tracks, “Midnights” tells “the story of 13 sleepless nights in my life” and which, according to Swift, taken together form “a complete picture of the intensity of that bewildering and crazy hour”.
With that album, Taylor broke everything: not only did she go on to sell more than 1 million copies in its first week, but she also broke the record for the most listened to artist on Spotify during a day, and her song with Lana Del Rey, “ Snow on the Beach”, achieved the best debut for a female collaboration in the history of pop music.
But there was more because Swift made history by occupying for the first time all the positions in the “top ten” of the “Billboard Hot 100”, a list of successes in the United States that has been running for 64 years.
Coinciding with the announcement of his tour, the chart for that week (the first of November) included “Anti-Hero”, the lead single from “Midnights”. The other nine spaces were occupied by the songs “Lavender Haze”, “Maroom”, “Snow On The Beach”, “Midnight Rain”, “Bejeweled”, “Question…?”, “You’re On Your Own, Kid”, “Karma” and “Vigilante Shit”.
Winner of 11 Grammy Awards, the producer also won last August at the Video Music Awards (VMA), the oldest music awards on MTV, with the award for best video clip of the year, best long-form video and best direction for her song “All Too Well,” which she wrote and directed.
