I heard Taylor Swift is also coming to Paris! I also read that something like 5x as many Americans will visit France to see Taylor Swift than to see the Olympics. 2024 is a weird year.

Yes, the big night is tonight.

Well, they will fund the economy and enjoy their favorite music.

I also discovered many Americans are flying to see her gigs around Europe. She is as iconic as the Olympic games, that is growth.
