“The Eras tour”,which lasted almost two years and raised US$2 billion (about 1.89 billion euros at current prices), broke records and made history. What can Taylor Swift, the biggest star on the planet, do now?
It’s reasonable praise, considering what the megastar, who turns 35 this Friday and has released nine albums in five years, as well as a concert film, has achieved.
During this last tour, Taylor played 149 concerts around the world, each lasting more than three hours.
For Kristin Lieb, a pop music, genre and brand expert at Emerson Collage, what’s next isn’t a fair question.
“It depends on her”

However, in an industry that is constantly searching for what is young, new or fresh, “what’s next” is always present.
The Grammy awards also await swift in early February with six nominations, three of them in the most prestigious categories, for her latest studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department”.
Since Swift is such a huge star, this decision is “totally up to her,” Lieb explains.
A few years ago, it was announced that she wrote an original screenplay and would be making her feature directorial debut with Searchlight Pictures, so she may now have her sights set on the Oscars.
“Swiftie” loyalty

Either way, at this point swift doesn’t need to constantly feed her fans to keep them loyal.
The superstar nurtured a fairly self-sufficient community. Swifties could grant their idol’s request to give him time and space, according to Lieb.
That is, if that is their goal. Facing the expectations of others, Lieb says swift might take a moment to think: “What would be challenging and rewarding for her?”
And, as is known, Swift has a personal life, of course: she has been publicly dating Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Travis Kelce for over a year.
However, a fundamental question remains: “Do we need Taylor Swift or does she need us?” asks Mall.
“I don’t think we need her, do we? And maybe we want it.”
How does Taylor Swift maintain her relevance and influence in a constantly evolving music landscape?
