Taylor Swift breaks historic record for her concert in Lyon

two concerts groupama stadium lyon

Taylor Swift gave the first of her two concerts at Groupama Stadium in Lyon this Sunday evening. Despite the rain, the superstar was delighted to have broken an attendance record for a female artist:

Taylor Swift in France, second! A month after his four concert events at Paris La Défense Arena, the megastar settled down at Groupama Stadium in Lyon for the continuation of his record-breaking tour "The Eras Tour". This Sunday evening, the American singer gave the first of her two shows for 3h15, performing the hits "Cruel Summer", "Blank Space" and "Anti-Hero", and celebrating Pride Month, even if the rain played surprise guests during the evening. “We have a rainy concert tonight. You are truly champions and heroes for continuing to dance in the rain,” she announced during the “Folkmore” portion of her show, before coming to the aid of a fan in difficulty in the front rows, by appealing to security guards in French: “Please!” (...) We take care of you because you are the best.” The Lyon public was especially waiting for the famous "surprise songs" and they were delighted: she performed "The Prophecy", taken from her latest album "The Tortured Poets Department", on the guitar, then a mashup of "Fifteen" and “You’re On Your Own, Kid” on the piano.

“I didn’t think we would have this much fun.”

Everywhere she goes in Eras Tour , Taylor Swift creates an event, and Lyon has not escaped it. At the start of the show, the star announced big news to her fans: like in Paris, she broke the attendance record for a concert by a female artist at Groupama Stadium in Lyon! “Look how you welcome us, it’s incredible!” Before going on stage, I was told that thanks to you, it was a record for a concert by a female artist in Lyon. It’s a really exciting start to the show,” she told the delirious crowd just before performing “Lover”. According to our colleagues from Le Parisien, there were 62,000 Swifties last night in Lyon. Until now, Mylène Farmer held the record with 45,000 spectators for her "Nevermore" tour just a year ago, while the concerts of Rihanna and Céline Dion, the only other women to have filled the stadium, attracted between 35 and 39,000 spectators in 2016 and 2017.

However, Taylor Swift does not beat the absolute attendance record at Groupama Stadium, held by Indochine. On June 25, 2022, 72,500 fans applauded the French rock group's "Central Tour", on the central stage, captured for the release of the CD and DVD a few months later. Regardless, the “Fortnight” singer recalled on stage how happy she was to play in Europe after so many years of waiting: “You know, I haven't toured Europe a lot. I didn't know what to expect when I came to do these two concerts Groupama Stadium lyon. But I can't thank you enough for the way you made us feel welcome. I have never played in front of such crowds in my life. (...) I didn’t think we would have so much fun on this European Eras tour.”

Taylor Swift ignited Groupama Stadium

On Sunday June 2, 2024, in Lyon metropolis, Taylor Swift set Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu on fire 

The American star gave nearly 3.5 hours of show for the first Lyon date of his "The Eras Tour" on Sunday June 2 at Groupama Stadium.

Almost 3h30 of show, 40 hits linked together without a hitch and without false notes, carefully staged scenes, fans called the Swifties in full hysteria and in perfect communion: Taylor Swift ignited Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu, in the metropolis of Lyon, Sunday June 2, 2024.

The American star who hits cities as well as hits gave his first mega concert of his two dates in Lyon.

Countdown, XXL screen and masterful entrance

Fans fought for a seat. The 34-year-old American, who has exceeded a billion dollars in personal fortune, can boast of moving crowds around the world. Last night among the 63,000 spectators, Americans, Spaniards, English and of course French, at home.

It is 8:10 p.m. when a giant countdown on a clock is displayed on an XXL screen in front of the monumental stage set up on the lawn of Groupama Stadium. After the last ten seconds are counted down by excited Swifties, the show begins. And the least we can say is that we’re going to be amazed by it.

His entrance is masterful. Taylor swift ignited Groupama Stadium. Sorts of orange peacock plumes emerge one by one from the screen in the smoke and advance at length towards the pit. They gather at the end, bend down and when they get up, they reveal the singer in the middle of fifteen dancers.

“Lyon, enchanted”

After four dates in Paris in May, the singer learned a few words of French. Sweet words for his fans who are raising the temperature in the stadium. Swifties never put down their phones, know every word to his songs and scream with every bat of their idol's eyelashes.

“Lyon, enchanted,” exclaims Taylor Swift at the start of the concert. 

During the concert, it is in French in the text that she declares her love to her fans. “I love you all,” she said to the screams. “C’est ma première fois à Lyon, c’est incroyable. Ne pas avoir assez fait de concerts en France, je ne ferai pas cette erreur à nouveau !". "Je vous aime tous"

Over 40 tracks, no downtime and incredible outfits

The star's contract is respected. For her “The Eras Tour”, she reviews her entire career, from well-known hits like “Cruel Summer”, “Karma”, “Shake it off”, “Delicate” through more confidential titles for the general public , best known to Swifties.

Taylor Swift had a series of charts and hits, more than 40 in 3 hours 20 minutes of show.

Taylor Swift's strength is the sequence of paintings, without interruption. She performs “Were are never ever getting back together” and “All too well” alone with her acoustic guitar then sways amidst smoke and moving cube-shaped stages on “Shake it off”. She also masters the piano perfectly live.

It is impossible here to reveal all the paintings which follow one another at full speed. Walls of flame, smoke, decorations, XXL dresses, fanfares: Taylor Swift arrived with a huge American-style device.

The rain doesn't stop Taylor Swift

The bad weather neither cooled the Swifties nor the singer. In the pouring rain, she performed several of her songs including “Enchanted” in a long princess dress, without stopping. The artist is used to it and it’s not the drops in Lyon that will stop him. In May 2023, she performed for 3.5 hours in torrential rain during a date in the United States.

The finale is explosive with fireworks and pyrotechnic effects after 3h20 of show without break. Too long ? The public who came to accompany the die-hard fans may have found the time long. But not the Swifties who are still asking for more. Some will even be present this Monday evening for the singer's second Lyon the Eras tour concert.

The organization of Groupama Stadium criticized

While fans loved Taylor Swift's performance, many Swifties didn't really like the organization of the event. According to comments on site, access to the pit was difficult at certain stadium doors when the doors opened. It took more than 30 minutes to enter the stadium which annoyed some spectators who missed the start of the first part provided by Paramore. 

Leaving the stadium was also complicated. At 1 a.m., fans were still waiting in the queue for the tram shuttles even though the last departure was announced for 12:15 a.m. 

Many foreign fans were looking for taxis and VTCs, particularly numerous around the stadium, which caused huge traffic jams and a lot of irritation after the show. The organizers still have a few hours to correct the situation and make amends with the Swifties…

American Idol

Let's talk about Taylor Swift debut “Guilty as Sin?” » and mashup songs from “1989” at the 89th “Eras Tour” concert

The American Idol Taylor Swift performed “Guilty As Sin?” " for the first time during one of his concerts on the "Eras" tour, and used the 89th concert of the tour to create a mashup of songs from his album "1989".

The moment took place during the singer's second of three performances in Sweden last week, which also marked the 89th concert of her record-breaking "Eras" tour.

For Swift, the number 89 has a certain significance: not only is 1989 the year she was born, but it also marks the title of her successful fifth album which she shared in 2014. So, to celebrate the occasion by Sweden, the pop legend had a few surprises during the set.

They took place as Swift launched into the surprise songs section of the live show, which usually sees her perform two songs that aren't usually in the setlist. But for the second concert in Stockholm, she offered the audience four titles.

The first was the beginning of “Guilty As Sin?” – a track from his latest album “The Tortured Poets Department”, which was performed live for the first time.

"Welcome to the acoustic session," she said before launching into the song (via Rolling Stone). “When we do a show like this, it's just not the case, we don't even feel like we're exerting any energy, because you're just fueling us all night.

“Thank you for being that kind of crowd.” You know, it makes me want to play one of my favorite songs from ‘Tortured Poets’ that I’ve never played live before,” she added. Find images of the performance below.

It was from there that Swift delivered another surprise to the audience by performing a mashup of three songs from the album “1989” to mark the 89th concert.

“It’s crazy because it really feels like the beginning of the tour,” Swift said while sitting at a piano. “But this is actually our 89th show. » From there, she performed a hybrid of “Say Don't Go” – taken from the Vault version of the album – as well as 1989's “Welcome to New York” and “Clean”.

The setlist surprises were also seen the following night, as Swift wrapped up the finale of her three shows in the city and released the first-ever rendition of "How Did It End?" from “The Tortured Poets Department" double album.

Swift will continue to perform across Europe and will visit the UK and Ireland in June. This will include eight shows at Wembley Stadium in London this summer as part of the run, with support from Paramore.

Her concerts are expected to boost the British economy to the tune of £1 billion. Although most of the money will likely be spent on accommodation, tickets, transport and merchandise, an estimated fifth of the 1.1 million ticket holders for the singer's 15 UK dates Uni in June and August will purchase new outfits specifically for concerts.

Flights to Stockholm's Swift-flation -Taylor Swift's three concerts

fans queue before Goldrush Swift-flation

Stockholm welcomes megastar Taylor Swift on Friday for the second European leg of her "Eras" tour, to the great benefit of hotels and businesses in the Swedish capital.

In "Goldrush", a song taken from her album Evermore (2020), the American artist assures that she does not like "goldrush es" but the Scandinavian city is happy about it and the home page of her website proudly displays "Welcome to Swiftholm". There is  a lot of flights to Stockholm these days.

With the weak Swedish krona, coming to one of Taylor Swift's three concerts in Stockholm may prove to be a relatively good deal for the artist's fans, despite soaring hotel room prices. Her performance will include Goldrush, of course

"In total, around 150,000 people will attend his concerts in Stockholm, including 120,000 who came especially for this occasion and we estimate that they will spend around half a billion Swedish crowns (40.5 million euros) during their stay here ", Carl Bergkvist, chief economist at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, told AFP.

 Enough to raise concerns about an increase in inflation. Swift-flation, what is it?

Fans buy merchandise before American singer Taylor Swift's concert as part of her Eras Tour in Stockholm, Sweden on May 17, 2024. Goldrush is part of tis kind of Swift-flation.

Last year, the first two dates of Beyoncé's world tour in Stockholm were cited by an economist as contributing to higher-than-expected inflation in May for the country.

This well known economist, Michael Grahn, does not exclude a similar effect this year with Taylor Swift provided that the impact is higher.

“Price pressures would have to be even stronger this year than last year for this to be reflected in the inflation figures,” he said in a note published by Danske Bank.

Central bank governor Erik Thedéen notes that the influx of “Swifties” to Stockholm for the weekend is also a sign of an undervalued crown.

“Coming to Stockholm is apparently a good deal,” he noted.

As for the “Swifties” met by AFP, money is not a problem.

"I spent around 7,500 crowns (643 euros) in total for the three tickets. I think it's worth it," admitted Filippa, 21, who came early Friday morning to queue in front of the stadium hosting the concert. No word related to Swift-flation

With Taylor Swift best dressed all the time, global pop has found its queen

“Taylor Swift, The Eras Tour”, a film shot during concerts that the best dressed American pop star gave this summer in California, as part of her phenomenon tour, is released and seen as sleeping beauties in theaters in more than a hundred countries . 

At 33, she is at the top of world pop. John Gapper, columnist for the “Financial Times”, recalls the talent, flair and will it took to get there.

In lyris of her song The Man, Taylor Swift, my favorite superstar, considers that she would have been more respected artistically if she had been a man. “They'd say I hustled, put in the work / They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve” really deserved”).

That being said, or sung, the best dressed singer doesn't seem to let herself get down. It was around the time of the release of Taylor Swift's second album, fifteen years ago, that I became hooked on her addictive genius; I listened to Fearless on repeat in my car all year while traveling the United States. I never imagined for a second that this talented sleeping beauties young woman of 19 years old, singer and songwriter of pop but also country, would reign uncontested over the world of music. No doubt I had also underestimated sleeping beauties.

Taylor Swift [completed the American leg of her tour called “The Eras Tour” on August 9. Hundreds of thousands of fans invaded the cities where she performed, stormed hotels and restaurants, and spent an average of $1,240. It is estimated that she earned 13 million euros per concert, and attracted an average of 54,000 spectators per performance. But Taylor Swift does not intend to stop there: she is continuing her international tour, and millions of “Swifties” [the nick-name of best dressed fans] have already snapped up tickets online.

Nothing best dressed is due to chance

It is certainly a phenomenon, but nothing is due to chance. If  being best dressed, Taylor Swift probably did not imagine experiencing such a sleeping beauties triumph at the age of 33, it was she who laid the foundations for her success: “Someday, I’ll be big enough so.

“Is this a joke!?” : big hiccup for Taylor Swift concerts in Paris

On May 9, Taylor Swift will launch the European part of her record-breaking tour "The Eras Tour". 

Cocorico, it is at Paris La Défense Arena that the pop superstar will set down for four exceptional concerts until May 12. A real event since it is his first real show in France, excluding special events, since a Zénith in 2011! The wait is high since these will also be his first dates after the release of his new album "The Tortured Poets Department", expected on April 19. And fans are all asking the question: will Taylor Swift add a part dedicated to this new record to this concert which already lasts 3 hours 20 minutes? It is on the evening of May 9 that the 40,000 precious ticket holders will discover it.

“Pecress!!!”

The arrival of Taylor Swift in France is such an event that it generates some bad news. Starting with the price of hotels, which explodes in every city it passes through. In Lyon, where she will give two concerts at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon on June 2 and 3, hotel professionals have increased the price of a night by 54%! In Paris, another disappointment awaits the Parisian public. Indeed, a branch of the RER A will be interrupted from May 8 to 12, at the exact moment when Taylor Swift's four concerts take place at Paris La Défense Arena. The Chatou-Croissy station will be completely closed and spectators wishing to go to the concert via Saint-Germain-en-Laye or Le Vésinet, or return home, will not be able to do so since the RER A terminus will be at Rueil- Bad house. You will have to take a special substitute bus or walk!

And this interruption annoys some fans, who wonder how they will be able to get to Paris La Défense Arena or even return home. “It’s a joke”, “Oh no!! It’s right on my RER line!!! », “The choice of the date of the work... PECRESS!!! » some people get angry on X / Twitter while others point out that the dates of the work are determined well in advance. This case recalls the interruption of the RER B on the weekends of the concerts which took place at the Stade de France in the summer of 2022. If the shows of Lady Gaga, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Indochine were maintained, Soprano had had to postpone his to the summer of 2023, given the impossibility for spectators to come and leave the stadium with the RER B, then closed for work.

Taylor Swift's tour film arrives on Disney+ on March 14.

 During Taylor Swift's Eras tour, only four concerts featured a performance of "Maroon," a single from her tenth studio album, Midnights. The track first appeared as a surprise song in May 2023, when she paired it with New Jersey's "Getaway Car." Los Angeles and Mexico City then got a taste of it in August, and she reintroduced it in a mashup with “Forever & Always” last week. On March 14, Swift's acoustic performance of "Maroon" will be available with the release of Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) on Disney+.

The tour film includes four bonus songs

At the end of some ad messages, Swift approaches her piano and tells the audience: “This is one of my favorite songs.” She then begins to play the first notes of “Maroon”. The film will feature four bonus tracks in total, including "Maroon", all performed acoustically, alongside the original film's tracklist. It will also include the premiere of “Cardigan,” which was excluded from the theatrical release.

“I’m excited to announce that you will be able to watch Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (My Version) a few hours earlier than expected, Swift wrote on X Monday morning.

The film was released in theaters last October, capturing the first three Los Angeles performances of his career-spanning tour. In January, it became the highest-grossing concert film and documentary in history.

Taylor Swift: ten crazy figures on the scale of her Eras Tour which is arriving in France in May (III)

 An amount much higher than that of the star's last tour: $157. How to explain such an increase? Due to inflation and rising costs, but also the very high demand for places, while ticket prices have exploded in recent years in the United States. Unlike France which has fixed prices for concerts, the United States does not have such a system and prices can therefore vary greatly for the same concert from one day to the next depending on demand.

8500: the number of cinemas which broadcast the concert

While the tour is still underway, a documentary film was recorded at three concerts held in Los Angeles. Since Friday October 13, 2023, theaters around the world have broadcast this show, including 144 in France. In total, 8,500 theaters are affected worldwide. Enough to generate more than 261 million dollars at the worldwide box office.

In addition to the cinema, the concert film was purchased by Disney+, which will therefore offer it in streaming from March 15.

$320,000,000: the money she helped make in Los Angeles

According to calculations by economist Maria Psyllou of the British University of Birmingham, Taylor Swift's six concerts in Los Angeles in August allowed the city's county to rake in $320 million.

26: the number of fans who sued Ticketmaster for the sale of tickets

When tickets went on sale in the United States, the ticketing turned into a fiasco for Ticketmaster. Multiple bugs occurred and prices skyrocketed. 26 fans therefore sued the company for “fraud, price fixing and violation of antitrust laws”. In France, the sale was also very complicated.

• 151: the number of concerts planned
• 151 dates have been announced for this tour. This is more than all of the artist's previous tours.
• 632: the number of days over which the tour extends

The tour started on March 17, 2023, in the United States and will end at least December 8, 2024, in Canada, (or later, in the event of an extension not yet announced). That's a total of 632 days, i.e. 1 year, 8 months and 22 days. With 151 concerts planned, that corresponds to one concert every four days.

$3,800: the average ticket resale price in the United States

In the United States, tour prices have been extremely high. And even more those from the resale of tickets. Thus, according to an analysis by the media Pitchwork, Taylor Swift concert tickets were sold, on average, for $3,801. Or a little over €3,500.
