Paul Stanley is now a Swiftie. The KISS rocker had high praise for Taylor Swift after he and his family attended one of the uber-pop star's "The Eras Tour" concerts in Los Angeles over the weekend. Stanley even wore a Taylor Swift T-shirt for a photo.
And why not? After all, Swift's catalog-spanning The Eras Tour has conquered the world this year, as The New York Times recently reported, with the massive trek reportedly selling about $14 million in tickets each night. Stanley was in attendance on Aug. 4 at one of six Taylor Swift shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where The Eras Tour is now finishing its initial North American leg.
See Stanley's post near the bottom of this page.
"Took Erin, Sarah and Emily to see Taylor Swift Last Night!" Stanley tweeted Aug. 5. "[Six] shows at SoFi Stadium for a total of A HALF MILLION PEOPLE and I know why… PHENOMENAL SHOW BY A PHENOMENAL ARTIST. Thanks to her staff for rolling out the red carpet for us."
