Topic: Taylor Swift

[disgraced cake]

Saw the Taylor banners on St George's Hall before, they didn't even do that for Klopp leaving! Though I imagine our blue brethren wouldn't have been too happy with that one 

[John_P]

Apparently Mr and Mrs Klopp will be at one of the concerts. 

Hopefully the tickets aren't specifically for the team manager or Arne Slot might be snapping them up.

“Asked what music he listens to, Klopp revealed that his wife Ulla had got them tickets to see Taylor Swift at Anfield next month and he started singing her hit Shake It Off.”

Can I shock you? I really like Tailor Swyft.

I am getting into her as well, which I didn't think I would.

If he’s there on Saturday. I am going to find him and ask for a hug

For anyone who is going to one of the concerts at Anfield, have you had your tickets through yet?

Do you mean through the club sales?

I have tickets for Anfield via AXS in the pre-sale and mine are appearing on the app ready to be scanned.

Yep through the club sales. I managed to get hospitality for it - but when I spoke to them last week, they said that it should be by the end of this week at the latest, but nothing yet!

Not had our tickets yet, bought via the club

[JerseyKloppite]

I spoke to the ticket office this week and they said they didn’t know yet what format the tickets would be in.

Going to need to pull their fingers out as a lot of members will have bought tickets for family and friends and will need a way of transferring them.

[TeddyTime33]

I'm going to first night in Dublin but was wondering has anyone come across any Liverpool FC/Taylor crossover merchandise/t-shirts, thought with a whole album being called Red and playing at Anfield there would be a few knocking about but I'm struggling to find anything

Pep liking Coldplay or Klopp liking Taylor Swift?

[disgraced cake]

Did anyone ever find out/have a clue what percentage of tickets went to the club for the Anfield dates?

[Crosby Nick]

In Jurgen’s defence he hasn’t really admitted to liking her.

I'm in this boat. Bought 2 on my ST for my daughter as a present, really dont need her being stressed over how i will get them to her

I know it's a Taylor Swift gig, but I can tell you Paramore are a very good live band, one of the best I've seen. Seen them 3 or 4 times now I think as the Mrs is a big fan. Would recommend being there in time to watch Paramore as well.

Here is the setlist from last weekend. Is this a fair reflection of their best stuff? If so, I will add it to a playlist and give it a listen.

That’s actually a really good cross section of their music. Most if not all has been released previously and charted.

Hayley really puts on a great show and her energy is amazing on stage! I love them, they'd be more a draw for me than Taylor Swift!

I think songs 4 and 5 have been changeable from other sets they've done but like Graeme said its a pretty good cross section of their music.

Glad to see they’re playing Misery Business again, thought they’d ditched it.

They brought it back for their last tour after people decided they didn't really care about the term "whore" anymore and were using it in TikToks etc but I don't think she sings the "whore" part anymore and just lets the crowd do it. For this though she's singing it because Swift wanted it on the setlist which you can't complain about as it is probably their best song.

Yeah you’ve probably conveyed it better than I did, it’s Hayley’s energy into a show that sets them apart for me. The first time I saw them I didn’t know much of their music but came out of the Manchester Arena blown away by the performance. Her vocal range is something else.

They are going for a few grand so flog them and go and take her on a holiday.

Me and the fella are having a Taylor night in preparation for June 15th, fuck me Red is such a brilliant album.

Sounds like a great idea. I’m not sure what my fav is anymore. Certainly not the new one though, just haven’t been able to get into it despite numerous tries. Just nothing that stands out, there are decent songs but nothing that grabs me.

Assume no one has got their tickets yet through the club?

I still think Midnights is worse than TTPD, but yeah, generally speaking, pretty weak. There's a couple of decent songs on there, like, and maybe it's a grower... but to be honest, I prefer storyteller Taylor to girlboss private jet Taylor.

Criminally underrated song, when those drums properly kick in I feel several years younger:

but to be honest, I prefer storyteller Taylor to girlboss private jet Taylor.

I am exactly the same but I really think the second half of the TTPD album is the one for people like us, rather than the first half. If you start at The Black Dog and treat it as a separate/different album then it might hit differently? That run especially from The Prophecy to the end is great.

I think if I removed imgonnagetyouback and So High School and replaced it with loml and So Long, London then I think it would be the her best album (if we are treating the back half as a separate album) - it is all the classic TS storytelling for me. You can see the pictures she is painting. And it’s probably not a coincidence that Aaron D produced most of those.

This has been the first  week I have allowed myself to skip songs on TTPD and listen to other eras and the first thing I went back to was Red, start to finish. I think it will always be #1 for me.
