I know it's not technically pop, but there's been a lot of comparisons between Taylor Swift's Eras tour and Jimmy Buffett's career trajectory. A huge impact on the music industry.

It's been a year. Still going and playing back again. Never jaded ❤️

Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you 🔜! The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long! Pre order 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on my site 😎

In a series of infographics and interviews, we break down the out-of-control ticket prices that make concert-going an increasingly unaffordable experience.

"According to data provided to Pitchfork by the concert trade publication Pollstar, the average face-value concert ticket price globally year-to-date is $79.42, up 14 percent from $69.59 in 2019, the last full year before COVID-19 upended the live music industry. It’s worth considering that according to Pollstar, the global average face-value concert ticket in 2000 cost $35.19, which is equivalent to approximately $63 today after inflation. That kind of price hike is notable: Ticket prices have gone up faster than the cost of other consumer goods over the last 20 years."
