Taylor Swift updated fans about ‘TPD’
On her first day of concert in Tokyo, Japan, Taylor Swift gave an interesting update to her fans. She said, “I told myself if I’m lucky enough to win anything tonight (the night she won her 13th Grammy for her album Midnights), I’m just gonna do it. I’m just gonna announce it. My backup plan was that I was gonna announce tonight in Tokyo!”
Addressing those who question her frequent album releases, the Lover singer responded, “Everyone’s like ‘why do you make so many albums?’ And I’m like, man because I love it! I love it so much! I’m having fun, leave me alone.I’ve been working on Tortured Poets Department since right after I turned in Midnights…I’ve been working on it for about two years, I worked on it throughout the US tour…soon we’ll get to hear it together,” Swift added and she is clearly as excited about the new album as her hardcore fans.
The ‘Taylor Swift Effect’
Not only is Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” a treat for fans, but it’s also beneficial for the Japanese economy. It is anticipated that the tour will bring in an astounding 34.1 billion yen ($229.6 million).
Additionally, Swift’s concerts produce the “Swift effect,” which raises consumer spending on merchandise, lodging, dining, and travel. As one of the tour’s few stops in the Asia-Pacific area, Tokyo will gain a great deal from this economic expansion.
Swift has an impact on economies all around the world, not just on music. Taylor Swift’s concerts in Australia have caused an effect that economists have come to refer to as the “Taylor Swift inflation effect.” In order to pay for tickets and associated costs, fans modify their spending patterns, which boosts regional economies. With fans spending lavishly on travel, lodging, and other expenses, Swift’s tour is setting a new record as the first to bring in over $1 billion.

She’ll continue her tour through Australia, Singapore, and Europe after that. Swift has had an indisputable impact on the entertainment industry and local economies; the tour is expected to bring in an astounding $2 billion overall.
Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” is more than just a series of concerts; it’s an international phenomenon that’s winning over fans all over the world and boosting regional economies. With her concerts providing an economic boost and her passionate fans quitting their jobs to follow her, Taylor Swift is rewriting the entertainment economics playbook one step at a time.
