Beyoncé spends billions of dollars to please her fans, mainly to “beat and lose” with Taylor Swift

If Taylor spends $5 million on a driver on tour, Beyoncé won’t give up. The female diva spent $100,000 to have the metro station system close 1 hour late, to ensure her fans could get home safely.

Recently, Beyoncé returned to Washington city for the second night of her tour “The Renaissance World Tour “. Accordingly, the show was expected to start at 8 p.m., but because of bad weather, organizers had to broadcast on loudspeakers to remind fans to find temporary shelter.

“Due to the lightning situation in the area, fans who are outside the stadium and in the parking lot please return to your cars. Fans in the stadium should find a place to stay in the area until further notice,” the BTC representative informed. It wasn’t until half an hour later that the show took place.

At the same time, station management in Washington DC suddenly announced that 98 metro stations would operate for an extra hour: “Extending operating hours also means that #BeyHive can stay until enjoy the “party” and still be able to return home by subway.”

It is known that diva Beyoncé herself and the organizers of “The Renaissance World Tour” spent 100,000 USD (about 2.4 billion VND) so that fans could return home safely after the show.

This generous move of the female singer immediately received many compliments from fans. Even though the show was postponed due to unforeseen weather, they still patiently waited to hear. she sings. It is the care and appreciation for the audience and the crew that has contributed to the success of Beyoncé and her “sold-out” tours.

“Renaissance World Tour” is the 9th tour in Beyoncé’s singing career, expected to attract more than 1.6 million audiences through 56 shows. Both Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are competing for the position of female artist with the most successful tour in history.

While Beyoncé holds the record of having 9/10 concerts by a female artist with the highest revenue of all time, the data for Taylor’s ” The Eras Tour ” has not been publicly announced.

However, Beyoncé’s act of spending heavily today suddenly made fans think of Taylor Swift’s generosity in the past. When the pop star was ready to reward 5 million USD (nearly 119 billion VND) for the team of drivers transporting necessary equipment for the concert .

On the other hand, Taylor Swift’s team is also very responsive in supporting and monitoring fans’ reactions on social networks , ensuring Swifties always have the best “showing” experience.

Although Beyoncé currently has a record of concerts with higher revenue than Taylor Swift, before that, the diva’s concert night was criticized by people for ticket sales many times lower than that of pop stars .

Specifically, the official social media page of Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh City) has broadcast information about Beyoncé canceling her concert here on the evening of August 3, 2023 due to technical reasons and schedule changes. All tickets purchased by the audience will be refunded to the payment account as soon as possible. The following shows in Seattle and Kansas City were also rescheduled to a few days later.

At this time, the mayor of Pittsburgh expressed great disappointment when Beyoncé did not come to perform as planned: “We were ready to welcome her to Pittsburgh and honor her with an official holiday. We are also discussing with the program organizers to understand the problem we are having, and also trying to arrange a new venue or a new show date.”

Accordingly, many internal sources said that Beyoncé’s team spoke up to assess that the Acrisure Stadium space is too small to set up the majestic stage of “Renaissance World Tour”.

Worth mentioning, Taylor Swift also performed at the above mentioned stadium within the framework of “The Eras Tour” not long ago (on the evening of June 16 and 17), attracting a total of 146 thousand spectators. She also became the first artist to perform at this stadium two consecutive nights in one tour.

At the same time, the show “The Eras Tour” on June 17 set a record for the largest audience ever at Acrisure Stadium with an impressive number: 73,117 attendees. In addition, the stage of “The Eras Tour” has a level of investment and area that certainly cannot beat “Renaissance World Tour”.

Therefore, when the information about the female diva’s crew giving the reason for canceling the show was that the field area was too small, not being able to set up a stage for Beyoncé, netizens immediately became sarcastic . Many of them also pointed out that the real problem is that ticket sales for Beyoncé’s show are sold very slowly, far behind the ticket sales speed of Taylor Swift’s show.
