Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. Two superstar sensations, yet completely different from each other.
Taylor Swift and Beyoncé are two highly-accredited Grammy award winning artists who have currently been touring. The Eras Tour, which is one of Taylor Swift’s biggest tours yet recaps all ten of her studio albums, and presents each album with its own sets, costumes, and feel. The Renaissance tour by Beyoncé is also one of the most ambitious tours in the history of her career. The tour showcases a unique representation of dance history and Black art that helps depict more inclusivity in music. Both of these tours are extremely different from each other, but both spread love for pop music. These tours have even earned their own names, Swift’s tour being nicknamed ‘’Ticketmaster-crashing’’ and Beyoncé’s being nicknamed ‘’record-breaking.’’ As of now, these tours have become one of the highest grossing in history. The achievements that both Swift and Beyoncé have achieved are influential to the rest of the pop industry as well.
