Taylor Swift has sold out Melbourne concerts online for high prices.
I can't understand why - her songs are awful.

2 of her supposedly best songs are here as evidence:

Her songs are puerile, boring and disposable -
looks like the days of great music are long gone.

I agree with Bobby 100%.

If you bought me dinner & drinks first, paid for my concert ticket, put me up in a hotel afterwards, and paid for my Uber rides to and from the concert, I still wouldn't go.

She is awful. I'd rather listen to Coldplay (no, I take that back).

Autralia's own Natalie was 100 times better than Swift:

I agree with you.
I think people were fighting over $300 tickets at the huge MCG full
of echoes and really bad for sound - go figure?
800,000 idiots were fighting for 200,000 tickets.

I've heard people are paying $3,000 (from scalpers).

Crazy, but if it makes them happy good luck to them.

Give me our Natalie any day, or Sheryl Crow.

I was in a pub in Sydney many, many years ago and Daniel Johns (from Silverchair) was at the bar next to me.

I told him I was a fan and asked him what he was up to.

He pointed over to a table in the corner and said "I'm here with my girlfriend, just having a drink". it was Natalie.

She was hot AF. A stunning woman.

I just looked at him and said "You lucky bastard", and he gave me a huge smile that I'll never forget.

I think it was in The Rocks.

gee wizz - you get around.

I used to spend a lot of time in Sydney.

Never got to see Silverchair or Natalie perform live, unfortunately Sad

But seriously, she was an absolutely stunning young woman in real life.

I guess she was about 25 or so and I must have been in my 30s.

Good times.
