    And not just in monetary terms. They also have to listen to twelve hours of Taylor Swift's music.

      Let's not forget the opportunity cost of what else they might do and see while in Paris. I mean there's Disneyland Paris amirite.

          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            Paris sounds so dope. The timing didn’t work. All 4 nights!!!! Queen Shit! We are looking at Ireland in July and already have the end of the Eras in Vancouver booked.

            We are officially in Tortured Poets month!!!!

              We lasted about twenty minutes watching the Eras Tour (or whatever it's called) concert on Disney last week. I realize I'm merely confirming my advanced age here, but I would find sitting through that concert four times excruciating, esp. if I were in Paris with so many other cool things to see, eat, or do.

                I tried to guesstimate what they paid. I'm guessing $8k for the shows alone.

                Re: the Eras Tour on Disney channel, my 7 year old granddaughter watched it with us and demanded we watch as soon as it became available. I think we sat and watched a countdown screen. Anyway, seeing her, my daughter in law and my wife all singing their lungs out gave me a lot of joy. I lasted the whole show, but admittedly, I like a lot of her stuff. There is something there though that definitely crosses generations. I wish I were as much of a baller as HFN and actually went with my girls to a show. He's gotta be the coolest dad ever.

                  They are in the city for 2 weeks, so they feel they won't miss out on too much. I'm solidly in the camp of when in Paris don't do anything non-Paris, but to each their own.

                    I think I've spent three nights in Paris total, and if it were longer, Mrs. Diddley probably would have insisted on a day at Disneyland Paris.

                      When I went there was a girl next to us who was probably 8-10 years old with her mom. In between a couple of well-deserved naps she was belting out the songs as loud as my daughter. It was wholesome to see. Swift absolutely is multi-generational.
