Because they’re all getting homes, right?
Terrible headline. From article: “In an email to BI, a spokesperson for the City of Edinburgh Council said it is not moving tenants out of temporary accommodation to make way for Swifties.”
Swifties should be sent out of Scotland’s capital to make room for the homeless. Send the swifties to a peat bog or something.
Think of future archaeologists!
Most cities do this for major events for years... So nothing new here.
I see you got bored of the dystopia.
I think the only big thing is that relocations typically only happen due to major sporting or international events. This is the first I've heard of this happening for a set of concerts.
She has such a huge following that it impacts things on a scale that there is a battle over which political ideology she needs to align with. Its some game of thrones scheming where there is a republican Little Finger orchestrating articles like this to convince social media leftists to attack her. All so they can gain the power of the Swifties for the next election cycle. They even sent in their own version of the Mountain to try to romance her. She is so on that fence and when they get her we're looking at total collapse of the liberal political sphere for a whole generation.
What would be left? Foo Fighters and Tom Petty?
There are eras in history. For example, you had Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson and all those guys. And when people look back at our generation musically, we are in the era of Taylor Swift. That's what it will be remembered as. Other artists are really good, but absolutely nobody has ever come anywhere close to the celebrity Taylor Swift has. If there's anybody who's going to ever be remembered as an icon, it's her.
