Podcasts about eras tour

Singer, songwriter Maisie Peters joins us in the studio! At just 25, Maisie has already opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, supported Coldplay, sung Stick Season with Noah Kahan, and performed at Wembley Stadium eight times! Not to mentioned just released a music video directed byt Amelia Dimz and starring BennyDrama. Oh! She also teased her new album with creating a very iconic rom-com scene. So, as a longtime fan of Maisie’s beautifully gut-wrenching lyrics, I was lucky enough to do every fans dream and read out to her my favourite lyrics and get her to unpack the stories and lessons behind them.

On today's show, host Dana Pellebon is in conversation with Misty L. Heggeness about her new book, Swiftynomics: How Women Mastermind and Redefine Our Economy. Heggeness is a professional economist, and in her book she blends a data-driven approach to women's work and gender analysis. She says that economics is a useful tool for understanding how people behave at a societal scale and in our homes. Taylor Swift is Heggeness's muse, helping Heggeness describe economic trends. For instance, the average income of a woman who lives in one of the cities where Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stopped is only $30K-$40K. This tells us about the economic status of women today, especially when you break down salaries by profession. However, Heggeness insists that women have significant economic power–as consumers and in their homes. On average, women do an hour more economic work a day than men, says Heggeness. Heggeness says that the field of economics is a male-dominated field and she wanted to write her book to center women, like her grandmother who was “the most efficient CEO of her household and garden” in the stories we tell about the economy. Taylor Swift becomes the stand in for the “modern” millennial woman who has greater educational attainment and is delaying marriage and having kids. Contrary to previous generations, folks today are getting married based on shared interests, rather than on building efficient households, says Heggeness.  They also discuss how Kansas recently revoked the drivers licenses of trans women and men, how consumers boycotted Target after the company turned its back on DEI, and how too many people making policy decisions have “care privilege.” She wants to see more care givers voted into office.  Note: This pledge drive interview was edited to remove parts of the show dedicated to station fundraising. We thank our listeners for their generous support. Misty L. Heggeness is co-director of the Kansas Population Center, Associate Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at the University of Kansas, and former Principal Economist and Senior Advisor at the US Census Bureau. She is also creator of The Care Board, a dashboard of economic statistics built by and for caregivers that brings their economic contributions into the fold. Her new book Swiftynomics: How Women Mastermind and Redefine Our Economy merges three passions – economics, women's rights, and, of course, Taylor Swift. She has over a decade of experience leading high-profile research that informed decision-making within the U.S. federal government. Her research focuses on poverty & inequality, gender economics, and the high-skilled workforce, and has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, The Economist, and Science.

On the show today, the SAG Awards have officially shaken up the Oscar race. We discuss why Michael B. Jordan deserves Academy Award, Timothy Chalamet’s "pang of fear," and whose acceptance speech was a 10/10 moment.Also we’re taking you inside the premiere of Charli XCX’s The Moment. We talk about whether its a deep commentary on pop stardom or just a high-concept middle finger to the music doco genre. Plus, we analyse Kylie Jenner’s surprising acting debut in the film and whether Charli XCX is about to become a bona fide movie star with five more projects on the way.Finally, we get into the weeds of the Charli and Taylor Swift "beef" and why the internet is calling this a very un-subtle aim at the Eras Tour.

In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we break down the details, Easter eggs, history, and symbolism in “The Fate of Ophelia” music video from The Life of a Showgirl album!  We dive into the one-take cinematography, the return of the Eras Tour dancers, and the many different kinds and looks of showgirls. We also discuss the nods to Travis Kelce and this specific moment in history, the orange songbird symbolism, and the deeper meaning behind some of the imagery. Plus, how does this video set the tone for the entire album? And which TLOASG track do we think deserves the next music video? If you're also in your Showgirl era or just into all things Taylor Swift, this episode (and entire podcast!) is especially for you!  Thank you for listening and loving Taylor with us!

Let's end the Lover album song discussion by sharing fun facts about Afterglow, Me!, It's Nice To Have A Friend, Daylight, and All of the Girls You Loved Before. We share our overall thoughts on the songs, what Taylor Swift has said about them, and discuss how well each song did on the charts. It was also fun to dive into discussing “Daylight” and why she wrote this song from the experiences she learned during the reputation era. We also discuss our theory on why “All Of The Girls You Loved Before” was left off of the original Lover album and was later released before The Eras Tour. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button wherever you are listening so that you don't miss any new episodes during this fun Lover Album series!

You may have heard that today kicks off the Year of the Fire Horse, it's Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and that Lana Del Rey just dropped a brand new single, “White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter,” which she wrote with her husband, Louisiana airboat tour guide Jeremy Dufrene. These things are unrelated to each other, but all play nicely into this week's pod theme. I am joined by Amanda Mull, senior reporter at Bloomberg Businessweek, to discuss why Southern aesthetics have become so pervasive in fashion and culture over the last several years, from pop music to TV to TikTok. Tune in for Amanda's expert contextualization from growing up in Georgia (Go Dawgs!), as well as her thoughts on Bass Pro Shops gear and Realtree camo making their way to the runways a decade ago; the explosion of cowboy-inspired looks in the wake of the Eras Tour and Cowboy Carter; Southern sorority girl style spreading to a worldwide audience via #RushTok, and Alix Earle starting her career doing GRWM videos from the University of Miami campus; the influx of influencers (Brianna LaPaglia, Paige Lorenze, Campbell Puckett, etc.) using regional aesthetics in their content; Lana Del Rey, Ethel Cain, and why white Southern femininity is a rich text for the fashion industry to pull inspiration from; microdosing MAGA culture via popular series like “Landman,” “Hunting Wives,” and “Southern Charm;” why fashion is so obsessed with horse girls, and much more.

I know, I know.    You're probably too cool to watch Taylor Swift's docu-series on Netflix about her Eras Tour.   But, if you want to see great leadership in action during a nearly two-year movable construction project, watching Taylor in action might be one of the best decisions you make this year.   If you've ever tried to keep crews engaged, schedules intact, quality high, and burnout low while margins are tight and pressure is relentless, you already understand the challenge Taylor Swift solved.    Her Eras Tour wasn't entertainment—it was a $2 billion, multi-year, zero-cancellation logistics operation. This episode breaks down exactly how her leadership principles translate to construction job sites, teams, and executives.   In this episode, you'll learn:   The seven leadership behaviors that kept a massive operation running smoothly under extreme pressure How clear standards, preparation, and generosity directly impact execution and retention Why the best construction leaders obsess over experience, not just outcomes   Hit play to discover how elite leadership—not talent, not luck—is what allows massive projects to run calmly, profitably, and with teams that actually want to stay.   At Bradley Hartmann & Company, we help construction teams improve sales, leadership,  and communication by reducing miscommunication, strengthening teamwork, and bridging language gaps between English and Spanish speakers. To learn more about our product offerings, visit bradleyhartmannandco.com.   The Construction Leadership Podcast dives into essential leadership topics in construction, including strategy, emotional intelligence, communication skills, confidence, innovation, and effective decision-making. You'll also gain insights into delegation, cultural intelligence, goal setting, team building, employee engagement, and how to overcome common culture problems—whether you're leading a crew or managing an entire organization.   Have topic ideas or guest recommendations? Contact us at info@bradleyhartmannandco.com.   New podcasts are dropped every Tuesday and Thursday.     This episode is brought to you by The Construction Spanish Toolbox —the most practical way for construction teams to learn jobsite-ready Spanish in just minutes a day over 6 months.      

On February 16 Netflix will release “Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model” — a three-part series on the controversial modelling competition. Tyra Banks, the supermodel who hosted the show, features prominently in the ANTM documentary, along with former judges and coaches Jay Manuel, Nigel Barker and Miss J. We look at why Tyra might want to offer her own take on past controversies. Melania Trump, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Billie Eilish are among other celebrities who feature in documentaries, docu-series or concert films. But why are these celebrity docs so popular — and what's the business motivation behind them? BBC reporter William Lee Adams joins us to explain.We also discuss “Melania,” which follows First Lady of the United States Melania Trump during the twenty days leading up to President Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2025. During the film she discusses her background as an immigrant from Slovenia and the painful loss of her mother Amalija Knavs. The film also captures intimate moments within the Trump family, helping showcase the president as a person rather than a politician. We assess whether the sympathetic portrayal will change opinions in a divided America.And what about music stars? We look at how concert films — Beyoncé's “Renaissance: The Film,” Billie Eilish's “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour” and Taylor Swift's “The Eras Tour” — can help singers mythologise themselves while also bringing in a lot of revenue.

Wow, you are in for such a treat with today's episode. Melanie Murray joined me for such a fabulous and honest conversation. During our chat, Melanie opened up about her experiences having ADHD, her passion for mental health awareness, and incredible music memories, from playing on Broadway in Nashville to doing an independent tour outside Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows.

We're back with season 4!!! And the episode starts with probably the longest chitty chat ever. There was loads to talk about with our obsession over the Stranger Things finale and all our “predicky-dicks” for Taylor Swift's 2026. Maybe she'll release a single? Perhaps be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame? Is the wedding imminent?! Reputation Vault Tracks? Our eyes and ears are always tuned in but we can't help but feel at ease during a quiet time in the Swiftie world such as this. The song this week showcases the most baby Taylor and the innocence she felt at the young age of 13 when she wrote this song. Rachel is partaking in Dry January, and Sam didn't feel comfortable making an alcoholic drink for this adolescent song. So mocktails it is! But why did Taylor choose this song to perform on her very last night of the Eras Tour? Tune in to find out!

It's honestly lovelyyyy… that you're tuning in for another episode of Blank Plate! In today's episode, Laura and Sara kick off the new year with life updates, holiday chaos and a truly iconic New Year's Eve wedding story before diving deep into one of Taylor Swift's messiest and most fascinating tracks, “Actually Romantic” from Life of a Showgirl. The ladies unpack the song's fountain-pen pettiness, rumored muse lore (yes, we're talking about Charli XCX), and how admiration, insecurity, and obsession blur into something unexpectedly romantic.

Andrea draws aching parallels between Taylor and her late mother, while the crew reflects on their own losses, including a moving moment from Kamilah Marshall.

In the first EMQs of 2026 Ed Balls and George Osborne answer the most important question for any politician: what was your snakiest move? The pair share each of their proudest (and least proud) moments of cunning, as well as some hard-won advice on when being snakey can pay off. They then turn to a question missed from our last ‘What If' episode from Australian cabinet member Chris Bowen, who wonders what would happen if John Smith had lived. What would have become of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and, most importantly, Ed?George's old Downing Street colleague Craig Oliver also asks a question concerning the gap between establishment and public opinion on AI which allows George to flex his new OpenAI knowledge. Finally, they answer the question on everyone's minds: what was their favourite song from the Eras Tour? We love hearing from you, so please don't forget to send all your EMQs to questions@politicalcurrency and make sure to include a voice note of your question. Thanks for listening.

GET TICKETS TO THE SNERAS TOUR IN AUSTRALIA: https://www.evolutionofasnake.com  Welcome back to our recap of the most important docuseries in history. In today's dispatch, we revisit episode 4: where Taylor somehow finds the time—mid-tour—to create and record The Tortured Poets Department, turning exhaustion into fuel and isolation into art. It is short and sweet, but it was everything. She opens up about meeting Travis Kelce and developing a very... earnest...passion for football, before roping her stage-husband-to-be into an Eras skit at the hallowed London show WE attended. We get a surprise crossover moment with Sabrina Carpenter with busted harmonies, and a moving reflection from dancer Whyley on identity, visibility, and what it meant to be handed “…Ready for It?” as a career-defining opportunity. The Eras Tour closes out its final U.S. stops in New Orleans and Indianapolis—loud, emotional, and teetering on the edge of something bigger. Enjoy!  Learn more about your ad choices.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a title from our former podcast pal from the About.com years, Kathy Ceceri.

Catherine's also encountered other books from authors she knows at the library: My Basmati Bat Mitzvah by Paula Freedman and My Neighbor Saw Me Naked: And Other Reasons You Need Drapes by Annie Elliott.​Terri's random recommendation is Taylor Swift: The End of an Era, the docuseries on Disney+. Watch if you're a Swiftie, or if you're curious about what happens behind the scenes of a production like the Eras tour. Mentioned: Shrinking season 3, coming soon.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2021 on making New Year's resolutions for our families.Next week's lineup:Lost S4 E9, "The Shape of Things to Come" on Tuesday, January 13The Lowdown S1 E7, "Tulsa Turnaround," on Wednesday, January 14Weekly roundup on Thursday, January 15Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing concert tour of all time, redefining what's possible and confirming a new era in the business of touring. As streaming transformed how we listen to music, selling records is no longer the financial centrepiece it once was for artists. Instead, exclusivity has been transferred to the live experience. But staging shows on this scale requires enormous investment and complex production. At the same time, ticket scarcity fuels extraordinary demand and rising prices, which mean big ticket prices.Tanya Beckett explores how technology, fandom and economics turn modern concert tours into multi-billion-dollar ventures.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking: How did music megatours become such a money spinner?Contributors Kevin Kim, Head of Asia at music distribution company Route Note, Seoul, South KoreaSerona Elton, professor at the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, United StatesAdam Behr, Reader and Head of Music at Newcastle University, United KingdomPoppy Reid, music journalist and founder of Curious Media, Sydney, AustraliaPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producers: Maeve Schaffer and Matt Toulson Researcher: Evie Yabsley Production Management Assistant: Liam Morrey Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Editor: Tom Bigwood(Photo: Taylor Swift during The Eras Tour.

Not everyone is able to turn their attention elsewhere this week, but for those who can and want to, we're having some other conversations, too.

It's Taylor Swift's birthday, and somehow she's the one giving us gifts. In this episode of 13: A Taylor Swift Fan Podcast, we dive headfirst into the first two episodes of Taylor's Eras Tour documentary and her revealing, hilarious, and emotionally loaded appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We unpack everything: the overwhelming emotion behind the Eras Tour, the responsibility Taylor carries as a global icon, the heartbreak and resilience surrounding Vienna, and the quiet moments that show who she really is when the spotlight dims. From backstage tears to bonus-day generosity, from Mirrorball validation to the power of audiobooks as emotional armor — nothing is off limits. Plus, we talk reputation rumors, surprise lyric changes, Swiftie clownery, Travis Kelce crumbs, dancer spotlights, and why Taylor's confidence still makes people uncomfortable (and why it absolutely shouldn't). This episode is joyful, heavy, validating, chaotic, and deeply human — just like Taylor herself.Happy birthday, Taylor.

Taylor Swift handed out $197 million in bonuses to her workers during the Eras Tour. Actress Kate Winslet said that Eminem asked her to shave his butt when she was on SNL.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Kate welcomes back Sarah Chapelle (Taylor Swift Style) to discuss the first two episodes of Disney+'s The End of an Era docuseries. They dissect the emotional weight of episodes 1 and 2; from the devastating Vienna terror plot and Southport attack to Taylor's leadership style, bonus day generosity, and the physical toll of performing and beyond. Kate and Sarah analyze what the docuseries reveals about Taylor's collaborative process with her team, they predict future episodes (Miami costumes? Travis spotlight?), debate burning questions (Why no debut representation? Justice for YOYOK! What's the deal with the high-low ombre dress?), and explore whether the docuseries does a better job showing "the life of a showgirl" than the album itself. Overall, a thoughtful, detailed, and fun conversation about what makes this tour and this documentary still so compelling three years later. Enjoy!
