Taylor Swift has the name recognition or popularity, same as the Beatles, in eras gone past. Covid-19 decimated the live concert business and it is still staggering its way back, but now there is astronomical pent up demand. Please check in with the second tier bands and “smaller venues” (like the popular 930 Club/an IMP venue), in DC and assert your same argument to them. I believe they would read you the riot act. The concert business (second tier) isn’t unlike restaurant dining (or outdoor dining which were aloud to encroach into streets in many , if not most) or for that matter any thing else that is social (draws people together), we are still in recovery mode, some aspects of the Covid lockdowns (maybe just subconsciously) look to be at least a little longer lasting or more permanent to date.
