Baton Rouge Concert Date

This show, at LSU Tiger Stadium, is not part of the Bayou Country Superfest anymore. The festival website does not have Taylor listed anywhere in their line-up, and lists their music festival dates as May 23/24 2015. Can someone please change the note for this date, or at least make this page editable?

Concert dates

Please, keep in mind that the concerts at the BBC Radio 1 and Rock In Rio ARE NOT part of the tour, they are separated festivals — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sneryam (talk • contribs) 00:12, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

@Sneryam: No, as cited at the reliable sources, it's part of the tour. There are many other cases like this, that happened not just with Taylor, but with other singers that some shows are part of festivals. Be welcome to clik on the souces and read them.Raulkul (talk) 20:17, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

@Sneryam: You've been warning on your talk page. Please stop with this edit war and disruptive edits about the Rock in Rio Show.Raulkul (talk) 22:06, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

They were not listed as part of the tour in Taylor's site, and tickets were not sold as a tour tickets, and the BBC Radio 1 was just a 'festival concert' with Taylor performing a couple of songs, that not the 1989 tour at all. And about the Rock In Rio, it wasn't a tour stop, she brought the tour there, and thats pretty normal, it doesnt make it a tour date — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sneryam (talk • contribs) 02:56, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

@Sneryam: About the BBC Radio 1 show you are right, that was a pocket show. But about the Rock in Rio you are totally wrong. You said there's nothing on TS's site, what do you think about it? http://www.taylorswift.com/events/303563 and on the Billboard's source they clearly state "[...]stage as a huge curtain emblazoned with a boombox and the words "1989 World Tour"" and "[...]which doubled as the official stateside kickoff of her 1989 World Tour". Do you understand now? thank you!Raulkul (talk) 16:09, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

The link you posted here just prove my point, its listed as ROCK IN RIO concert Tickets were sold as RIR concert When it was listed on www.taylorswift.com/events it wasnt '1989 tour' like the Hyde Park concert, it was 'Rock In Rio', thats what i was saying But i agree that a edit war is useless But again, the RIR concert wont even be counted as a 1989 tour concert when its all said and done, they will count 62 concerts in the USA to see how much she did per concert — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sneryam (talk • contribs) 19:00, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

@Sneryam: On this link http://www.taylorswift.com/events used to have the RIR show listed, so it does part of the tour, even it's a festival. I'm gonna give you one example. Many shows of the ArtRave: The Artpop Ball was part of festivals, like "Festival d'été de Québec", "Ottawa Bluesfest", "AIA Real Life: NOW Festival"... Of course theses shows there weren't boxscore because there were part of festivals, but even that, they made part of the tour. Taylor brought the whole structure of the concent to RIR, and the same happened to Gaga and other artists. So yes, RIR should remain.Raulkul (talk) 19:39, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it was listed but not as 1989 tour, like the BBC Radio.. they were listed as separated events — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sneryam (talk • contribs) 01:46, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

The setlist is incorrect. For the third song, she does not perform "Anaconda". She performs "Blank Space".

Request for May 15, 2015 to be added to the tour schedule in North America for Las Vegas, NV. Taylor performed her 1989 Tour Set at Rock in Rio USA for a crowd of approximately 50,000 people.184.101.49.162 (talk) 17:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC) 184.101.49.162 (talk) 17:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Photos

I have some really good photos I took last night here in Charlotte that I think could add to the encyclopedic quality of this article. Should I post some or would that somehow be some sort of copyright problem? Eric Cable  |  Talk  13:02, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

@EricCable: It would be great, but from what I saw, all articles related to Swift's tours, there aren't photos of her performing.Raulkul (talk) 21:36, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

There's no way these revenue numbers are right.

Charlotte... $1,627,798 divided 15,024 seats is $108.34 per ticket. The cheap seats were more than that. Eric Cable  |  Talk  01:25, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Boxscores

The numbers "104,000" and "65,000" for Tokyo Dome and Hyde Park are not confirmed by any boxscore

Plus, Pollstar received the boxscores for the Summer Time as a festival (arond 45k for each day) so it wont be counted as a Taylor Swift concert, and it makes no sence to add the number of the attendence without the money earned in it (The only thing it changes is that it makes the average price of the tickets look lower)

Why not add a new topic on the main page for festival dates only? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sneryam (talk • contribs) 23:19, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

If there isn't the boxscore for some concerts or (of course) festivals, just leave it blank. GagaNutella (talk) 00:48, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Totally agree, but someone keeps editing and using those numbers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sneryam (talk • contribs) 02:51, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

 Done And we will keep removing those disruptive edits. GagaNutella (talk) 02:54, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Commercial Reception

The latest revision makes no sense. "Swift's twenty-five shows from the North American run (May 20–June 6, 2015) geneated a total of US$89.8 million from 149,708 ticket sales." My math isn't great but that kinda seems wrong. So I'm just gonna revert it till someone wants to add something that makes sense along with references. --EnderAtreides117 (talk) 08:00, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Australia, Singapore and China

Could someone verify the attendance and revenue figures recently added to the last few shows?--EnderAtreides117 (talk) 08:13, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

@EnderAtreides117: The attendance and revenue figures come from Billboard Boxscore, and it's not updated yet as far as releasing Swift boxscore. Just wait patiently. It usually takes international venues a while for them to release their numbers. I don't know the reason, but don't expect them to release the number so soon.

Someone please get this page semi-protected again. This page has been a total mess after the tour ended, and I'm growing tired of people putting false information. Musicpoplover12 (talk) 19:24, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

It was the highest grossing tour in the world during 2015

But only the third-highest grossing 1989 tour of all time. Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson beat her: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_concert_tours#1980s. =) 71.71.57.15 (talk) 22:11, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

I think we should write more information for "The 1989 World Tour"

this page should have more information such as costume, Concert synopsis, Critical reception
