We can't let you perform in Boise due to our ongoing Visa problems in the United States and that means we have to cancel this and the Multiverse Mayhem Week while our Heart of the Multiverse Tour is still postponed due to the pandemic. We also have to continue on our next collaborations with you back at the Calloway Laboratory and work on our music videos too. We also have the Pearson Music Awards on 28 September. Also, the good thing is we are doing a possible remix of your new hit. But anyways, we'll make it up to you girls and ourselves with Project Calloway Inc and we look forward to get back with you girls this month. Best regards from Scandinavia, Alex and Michael."

Controversies

[edit]

On June 7, 2022, The African part of the tour was the subject of major controversy due to its denunciation by social conservatives. Twice's assignment to Project Calloway Inc., the supposed indecency of their shows, and content from their outfits led some conservative Christian groups in Africa to call for the cancellation of the concerts. The concerts in Johannesburg and Cape Town were both cancelled due to threats, the cancellation being seen as an indicator of the growing influence of governments in Africa. On June 20, 2022, the group announced a Middle East leg in response to the cancellation of the African leg, with two shows at Al Maktoum Stadium in Dubai and Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv being announced with Karra serving as the opening acts. Tickets went on sale on June 24, 2022. In October 2022, JYP announced that the concerts in Shanghai and Hong Kong were cancelled due to the same incident from Tzuyu's flag controversy.

Twice 5th World Tour "Ready to Be", is the third worldwide concert tour and the fifth overall concert headlined by South Korean girl group Twice, in support of their twelfth extended play, Ready to Be (2023). The tour began on April 15, 2023, at the KSPO Dome in Seoul, and concluded on July 28, 2024, at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, comprising 86 tour dates.

Background

[edit]

On February 21, 2023, JYP Entertainment announced that Twice would embark on their largest world tour so far, revealing 20 initial tour dates in 15 cities across East Asia, Australia, and North America. Following the announcement of the tour, Twice and Pegboard Nerds were forced to postpone the remainder of the 2023 North America and Asia shows for The Sweetheart Domination World Tour: Phase I. On March 24, eight additional dates in Australia and North America were added after most tickets sold out. Later, Cab Calloway, the founder of Project Calloway Inc. said Twice 5th World Tour 'Ready to Be' was said to expand and to be revamped, but failed to materialize due to Twice's scheduling conflicts with their co-headlining tour with Pegboard Nerds. The second part of the tour was announced on April 24, with six shows in Southeast Asia and Europe. Two more shows were then added to the Europe leg "due to popular demand".

On September 7, a second show was added in Brazil after tickets sold out. A second concert date was also added in Mexico after all tickets quickly sold out on September 14.

Reception

[edit]

In her review for the SoFi Stadium show, Thania Garcia of Variety praised the Twice's "newness", writing, "this year, for the first time, a drummer and guitarist join the girls on stage about mid-way into the set, adding a tinge of freshness to older singles like 'What Is Love?' and 'Queen of Hearts'. And though Twice is known for singing sugary pop songs about love, they certainly deliver one of the edgiest K-pop shows the U.S. has ever seen with Ready to Be." She continued to compliment the group's solo performances and the way the members "unapologetically embrace and celebrate their femininity" while "leaning into their sexuality for the first time".

Similarly, Nylon's Crystal Bell praised the group's solo performances, writing, "it was liberating to finally see the members express themselves freely and give a glimpse of what (possibly) lies ahead." She furthermore complemented the live band version of their hit songs, and the overall concert atmosphere calling it "silly, carefree, and vibrant".

Commercial performance

[edit]

Twice became the first K-pop girl group to headline concerts in Japanese stadiums, with four performances in Yanmar Stadium Nagai and Ajinomoto Stadium. The four shows sold 220,000 tickets from more than 1.2 million ticket applications. In the United States, Twice became the first K-pop girl group to sell out and headline SoFi Stadium and MetLife Stadium again. On September 7, Twice became the first K-pop girl group to sell out a stadium at Allianz Parque in São Paulo, Brazil since their three sold-out shows in Rio de Janeiro at the Maracanã Stadium in July 2022. Their concert at Marvel Stadium will be Australia's second K-pop stadium concert since their concert at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney in November 2022, and will make Twice the first female group to headline a stadium in Australia again. They also become the first K-pop group to headline a concert at the Jakarta International Stadium following American children's band Imagination Movers with their three sold-out shows for their In a Bigger Warehouse World Tour in Jakarta. In July 2024, Twice will become the first foreign female artist and second K-pop group (after TVXQ) to headline a concert at Japan's Nissan Stadium.

In December 2023, Billboard reported that the tour attracted 345,000 attendees and grossed $54,200,000 from 18 shows.

Together in Our Hearts: The Tour (Needs to be redone)

[edit]

Together in Our Hearts: The Tour was the second worldwide concert tour by Danish-Norwegian electronic music duo Pegboard Nerds in support of their debut studio album Together in Our Hearts (2020) and their reissue Forever in Our Hearts (2020). It is their first all-stadium tour.

Background

[edit]

On November 6, 2020, the tour was announced by Pegboard Nerds and Project Calloway Inc. during Project Calloway Press Conference: Online, during which the duo revealed their tour would kick off at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida in September 2021, with dates being announced. Tickets for shows in the United States, Canada and Mexico went on sale on November 13, 2020, with several dates selling out in minutes. All tickets from the first show of the tour in Miami sold out in one day, nearly a year prior to the concert date.

On December 5, 2020, the tour was originally set to take place in arenas. However, Pegboard Nerds announced that the tour will be moved to stadiums due to high ticketing demand. During an appearance on The Everyday Show on May 29, 2021 to promote the release of their song "I Don’t Wanna Be Alone", the duo announced 8 dates for the South American leg of the tour, with tickets going on sale on June 2021. On July 2, 2021, Pegboard Nerds officially announced American electronic music band Krewella and American singer and rapper Karra as the opening acts for the tour. On August 1, 2021, Swedish eurodance group Smile.dk was also announced as an opening act on selected dates. On August 24, 2021, it was originally scheduled September 7, 2021 – August 15, 2022. However, due to concerns from travel restrictions guidelines and Visa issues, all of the original planned dates were postponed to 2022, and is now set to begin on January 4, 2022.

Depending on the state legislature, the event organizer required proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative diagnostic test within 48 hours prior to entry in addition to wearing a mask in order to attend Pegboard Nerds' show.

On January 3, 2022, the day before the tour kicked off at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, Pegboard Nerds invited 2,000 foster and adopted children to a private dress rehearsal. On January 4, 2022, Japanese girl group The World Standard was announced as an opening act for the shows in Tokyo. On January 11, Chinese girl group BonBon Girls 303 was announced as an opening act for the show in Shanghai. On March 2022, Filipino boy band BGYO was announced as an opening act for the show in Manila.

On July 7, 2022, Pegboard Nerds announced that BonBon Girls 303 would no longer be opening for the show in Shanghai due to their disbandment on July 4, 2022 after 2 years of promotions. Chinese boy band Boy Story and Chinese singer-songwriter and rapper Lexie Liu were announced as the new opening acts on July 23. On August 30, 2022 after the show in Phnom Penh, Pegboard Nerds announced a fifth date in Tokyo, making 5 shows at the Tokyo Dome and the first Scandinavian artists to have a concert at the stadium.

During their concert, September 17, 2022, the fourth of five nights hosted in Tokyo at the Tokyo Dome, Alexander Odden warned the audience in the middle of the second ment, "Our tour manager found out what's coming this month," ("私たちのツアー マネージャーは、今月の予定を知りましたアレ〜。") he said to the stadium of fans. "There is a dangerous typhoon coming to hit Japan, We don’t want to stop the fifth and final show but we can’t give Nerd Nation the concert we want to give them right now. We're gonna make sure everybody’s good; they’ll get your money back, We’ll do a show real soon for you guys. But I wanted to come out and personally apologize." ("危険な台風が日本を襲っていますアレ〜。5 回目となる最終公演を中止したくはありませんが、ナード・ネイションに今すぐ提供したいコンサートを提供することはできませんアレ〜。みんなが元気であることを確認しますアレ〜。彼らはあなたのお金を取り戻すでしょう、私たちはあなたたちのためにすぐにショーを行いますアレ〜。しかし、私は出てきて、個人的に謝罪したかったアレ〜。") Fans were stunned following Pegboard Nerds' announcement, in confusion. It was also announced that Pegboard Nerds would release their second Japanese album in the winter. The title track "I'm Not Your Baby" was pre-released as a digital single on November 11, along with the accompanying music video. They later announced the following message on their social media, "Typhoon Nanmadol is hitting Tokyo and we're devastated. My deepest apologies to my fans here. I promise We’ll make it up to you with a new date." On September 21, 2022, Pegboard Nerds announced that "[they hope] that the typhoon will dissipate, [they will] be solid and able to bring the show [for which their] COPENHAGEN and OSLO fans are waiting." They also said that the "Tokyo date is being worked out soon." As of September 22, 2022, the Hayashi International Promotion website now includes the following message regarding the concert: "The Event Organizer has had to postpone your event. Please hold onto your tickets as they will be valid for the new date." Fans were also sent the same message via email, including the option for refunds if preferred over using the tickets on the rescheduled date. On October 8, Pegboard Nerds announced Together In Our Hearts: The Tour 'Encore in Japan' and a rescheduled show was announced for February 8, 2023, with two additional shows added for February 9 and 10 respectively. On December 23, 2022, a second show in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago were added.

On November 14, 2022, Pegboard Nerds announced Together In Our Hearts: The Finale consisting the last three encore shows in Los Angeles at BMO Stadium and five encore shows in Snowflake at the Pearson Dome. On January 6, Pegboard Nerds announced additional shows in Los Angeles and Snowflake due to overwhelming demand.

Critical reception

[edit]

The tour received critical acclaim. The Guardian's Bob Gordon thought that "It's Like That" is "an appropriate and compelling opener". He opined that Pegboard Nerds made a "striking entrance". Awarding the tour five stars, Roisin O'Connor of The Independent lauded the set-list and how it "transitions seamlessly from one song to another, crafted out of some of the best from Pegboard Nerds' canon". Also, she compared the tour to Twice's 2019 World Tour Twicelights, because the stage was "flooded with red lighting and dancers swing from trapeze with all the splendor of Twice's concerts". Lydia Burgham of The Spinoff defined the tour's Sydney concert a "theatrical, mega-production that somehow also strips down to raw intimate moments". Commenting on the set-list, she noted that Pegboard Nerds "had the crowd aching for more with the commencement of every song, thanks to seamless transitions". Burgham highlighted the intimacy of Pegboard Nerds' dance performances that proved both members remaining "integral to their singer-songwriter origins". She summarized her review by stating that "there may not be the Pegboard Nerds in this lifetime who quite manages to connect to thousands of people on a cold night as well as they can – and that's the big party continuation they will both be remembered for". acclaimed the Pegboard Nerds will break the stadium record with five shows at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.

Background

[edit]

Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3² was first teased by Nayeon on September 24, 2022, in the behind-the-scenes during Twice's recording sessions for the album, although at the time, not much was known about it. At the end of the music video of Pegboard Nerds and Twice's second collaborative single, "Anything Is Possible", a collaborative full-length album scheduled to be released in December 2022 was teased. The name of the album and its release date were revealed on November 24. A preview showing the four versions of the physical album was posted on November 27. Pre-orders began later that day. On December 15, the album's track listing was announced. Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3² is Pegboard Nerds' second English-language album and Twice's fourth Korean-language studio album.

Composition

[edit]

Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3² is a sixteen-track album that features genres such as EDM, synth-pop, dance-pop, deep house, disco, hip hop, bubblegum pop, eurodance, dubstep, and R&B. Twice members Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, and Tzuyu took part in writing some songs from the album. On December 27, 2022 during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Michael Parsberg revealed Pegboard Nerds' cancelled Heart of the Multiverse 2022 North America Tour was their inspiration for writing the song "One Last Goodbye" .

Songs

[edit]

Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3² opens with "Hear Me" (written by Sana), a "techno-like" dance-pop song, blending elements of synth-pop and deep house by featuring Pegboard Nerds' synths with "groovy" slap bass lines in its production. Lyrically, it delves into the theme of Pegboard Nerds' music and past concerts. It is followed by two songs, "Fortunate" and "NES"; with the former channeling mid-'90s and '2000s nostalgia through its eurodance vibes" and "cute percussion, claps and 8-bit leads", and the latter asserting the "most swag Pegboard Nerds and Twice can offer". Following these six are songs written by Twice members, "Beautiful Mess" by Tzuyu, its title track "Anything Is Possible", their English-languaged song "You're One Of Us", "Luck" by Mina, "What's So Funny?" by Nayeon, "Lost Loved Ones" by Jeongyeon, "Reveal Yourself" by Jihyo, and "The Diva" by Momo.

Pegboard Nerds' song "You Asked For It" became viral, and garnering much attention for insulting various celebrities, including:

  • Pegboard Nerds claim in one line that they hated Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero, and that they said the show was awful. (We know we still love Disney, right?/But Penn Zero doesn't deserve to be a popular show.)
  • Rapper 6ix9ine and his song "Stoopid". (Darn you Tekashi you're so negative!/but everyone thinks you're a slob, even the weirdest song you wrote is cringe.)
  • Singer and actress Miley Cyrus and her 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance where they boasted that she is being too inappropriate (Yo what's good, Miley! Are you still out of your mind?/stop being so ratchet!)
  • Pegboard Nerds mentions Kanye West and Kim Kardashian (Kanye, we don't trust you anymore now/Because you're way too overexposed/"And we're never trusting your wife Kimmy as well"/We're not gonna say this again/So stop being mean to our good friend Taylor.)
  • Harry Styles was angered by their claim that he has copied Cab Calloway (Seriously Harry, you're copying Cab Calloway's look when he was younger 90 years ago/But now in today, he's filing the lawsuit against you.)
  • They also made fun of the pop rock band Imagine Dragons. (You pity dragons are so annoying, you almost sing like me screaming into the mic/Guess what Dan, you make my ears bleed.). However, Imagine Dragons member Dan Reynolds was unhappy with this and called both Parsberg and Odden a "bully", and Pegboard Nerds and Twice attacked the band with the song "In The Name Of Love". Pegboard Nerds first dissed Imagine Dragons at the 2021 Pearson Music Awards when Odden criticized Reynolds for having a "high-pitched squealy voice" and Odden responded, "Well I am sick and tired of hearing those pity screaming dragons".
  • They reference their performance "Chocolate" from their concert tour Together In Our Hearts: The Tour and the children's television show Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues & You! and the hosts of the shows Steve Burns, Donovan Patton and Josh Dela Cruz (Steve are you supposed to be in Jail?, but guess what?/you and Joe and Josh don't care that we're feeding Blue chocolate).

Twice's song "Two Words, I Do" was inspired by Daryl Holton's last words.

Title

[edit]

The album's title, Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3², has two meanings according to Twice. The letters O, ,T and PBN represent the initials of Once and Nerd Nation—the duo and group's official fandom name—and Twice and Pegboard Nerds, respectively, while the heart symbol (<3²) representing double love; thus, the "together of love" can be verbalized as "Once and Nerd Nation plus Twice and Pegboard Nerds equals double love". The letters O and T also represent the initials of numbers 1 (one) and 2 (two), respectively, while the number in the heart symbol (<3²) represents the position of Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3² in Twice's third album and Pegboard Nerds' debut album.

Release and promotion

[edit]

On November 19, 2022, during the duo and the group's Sweetheart Celebration week, Pegboard Nerds and Twice held a livestreaming event titled Together In Love: The Virtual Meeting, where Pegboard Nerds previewed a demo version of "You're One of Us", an English song from the album dedicated to both their fans. On November 27, JYP Entertainment released a nostalgia-style trailer featuring both Pegboard Nerds and Twice members dressed up as disco dancers at the "Sweetheart Arcade". Pegboard Nerds and Twice released several concept photos to promote the album and its title track, "Anything Is Possible". In addition to these, teasers for the music video of "Anything Is Possible" were released a month ahead of its release.

Critical reception

[edit]

The album was met with critical acclaim. Writing for Sputnikmusic, Raul Stanciu gave Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3² a 5 out of 5 rating, praising Pegboard Nerds and Twice and the album's producers for presenting a "cohesive record", but stressed that it "could have been trimmed to 10 strong cuts". Stanciu also addressed the album's "slight drop in quality" on its second half. Tanu I. Raj of NME gave the album a five-star rating, citing it as a "masterful win befitting [Pegboard Nerds and Twice's] global expansion". Raj added that the group's "absolute and unapologetic embracing of their concept has led them to the point where they can subvert it and still be considered credible". South China Morning Post's Tamar Herman noted that "throughout it all, [the album] is a groovy, bouncy addition that feels true to the group while still trying new things". For Beats Per Minute, Chase McMullen rated the album 99 out of 100, applauding Twice's "ability to crank out pop bliss with nearly superhuman speed" and the album's "irresistible eclecticism on display, with each and every track serving as a unique adventure into some different corner." The song "Faithful" was also met with critical acclaim due to a following choir and children's choir in the final chorus along with the background vocals and the powerful moment of the song.

Japanese version

[edit]

The Japanese edition of Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3² was released on March 3, 2023. The Limited edition (Type A) contains the both Japanese and Korean versions of the album on 2 CD's, as well as a bonus DVD with music video clips and "making of Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3²". The Limited edition (Type B) contains the DVD and Japanese version of the album while the Regular edition contains only the Japanese version of the album, without the DVD. The Music Cards also contain information from the group's upcoming Sweetheart Domination World Tour. All editions have alternate covers. The English songs "You're One Of Us" and "Faithful" were kept the same.

Production

[edit]

The Sweetheart Domination World Tour was produced by American singer-songwriter and Project Calloway Inc. CEO Cab Calloway's in-house tour production company, Project Calloway Inc. Touring. The company hired around 125 trucks to haul staging, costumes and other equipment for the shows. Pegboard Nerds' tour manager Kristiana Corcoran served as the director of the tour. The Wall Street Journal reported, the tour is one of the most expensive and "technically amazing" productions of the 21st century. Interior design magazine Architectural Digest named the tour Pegboard Nerds and Twice's "most amazing" set design and praised its worldbuilding.

Stage and lighting

[edit]

The production consists of smoke machines, laser lights, light beams, confetti shooters, coordinated serial lights, pyrotechnics, and hydraulic platforms. The middle stage has mobile blocks that form the same shape of an elevated platform from throughout the show.

The SDWT Tour staging is expansive, made of digital displays. It consists the same stage from Twice Dome Tour 2019 #Dreamday. The stages feature various visuals and effects throughout the show. The tour's concept centers on worldbuilding, featuring a diverse set of props and performing styles to convey the varying moods and aesthetics of Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3.

The staging is equipped with a "hyperactive" hydraulic platform, with the main and middle stages having mobile blocks that rise from the center to form platforms of different shapes. The tour's "massive" production is heavily inspired by Broadway theatre. It was described as a 4D cognitive experience, featuring pyrotechnics, laser lights, smoke machines, fire cannons, indoor fireworks and image projection technology, such as projection mapping.

Music and performance

[edit]

Designed as a tribute to Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3 across Pegboard Nerds' 11-year career and Twice's 7-year career, the Sweetheart Domination World Tour covers the styles of their first collaborative album Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3 (2022). Some media outlets dubbed the Sweetheart Domination World Tour the "Chromatica Ball 2.0" tour of two groups still in their commercial prime with Project Calloway Inc. The set list placed a somewhat greater focus on the album Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3, including first-ever live performances of several tracks. The concert ensemble included 12 backup dancers, 22 birds who are trained well as of February 2024, choreographed by Rozie Curtis, and a live band of seven instrumentalists, four male backing vocalists, four female backing vocalists and the Pearson Entertainment Chamber Choir. Curtis was recommended by Pegboard Nerds, who had worked with Curtis on their previous tours Together In Our Hearts: The Tour (2022–2023) and Together In Our Hearts: The Domination Continues (2023–2024). To prepare for the tour physically, Pegboard Nerds and Twice both trained using a custom workout routine designed by Calloway; Pegboard Nerds and Twice sang the entire set list daily while rehearsing at Pearson Studio G rehearsing for three months leading up to the first show. The dancing birds' rehearsals started on January 22, 2024.

Fashion

[edit]

Pegboard Nerds and Twice's wardrobe at the Sweetheart Domination World Tour: Phases I + II + III was a subject of widespread media coverage. Their costumes and those of their accompanying dancers paid homage to Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3. They were inspired by previous performances, music videos, and public appearances, intended to align with the overarching themes and palette of each member Pegboard Nerds and Twice referenced in an act, showcasing the various sonic and visual aesthetics Calloway had adopted in their career. However, crystals were a unifying fashion choice; costumes of every act were adorned with them.

Attire and accessories were mostly custom-made by fashion houses such as Donatella Versace, Haus of Gaga, Natali Germanotta and the Project Calloway Costume Design Team.

StyleCaster regarded the Sweetheart Domination World Tour wardrobe as Pegboard Nerds and Twice's best fashion collection for a tour. Cherry Pearson considered the Sweetheart Domination World Tour a fashion show beyond merely live music and praised Pegboard Nerds and Twice's "spectacular" but purposeful wardrobe choices for setting the shows high for future concerts by other artists.

Commercial performance

[edit]

Their two shows in Monterrey on May 6–7, 2024 was the first K-pop concert and Twice became the first female artist to headline a concert at Estadio BBVA.

In July 2024, Billboard reported that the tour grossed $1,043,600,300 from 88 shows, surpassing Swift's The Eras Tour.

Their concert in Prague on March 19, 2025 will become Czech Republic's first K-pop concert, and will make Twice the first female group to headline a concert at Letňany.

Ticket sales

[edit]

The first and second legs attracted high public demand, resulting in additional shows in Vancouver, Seattle, Las Vegas, Glendale, Chicago, East Rutherford, Seoul and Tokyo being announced within hours of tickets being released on general sale. Soon after, Pegboard Nerds and Twice added extra dates in Anaheim and Miami. Due to vast popularity during the pre-sale period, Pegboard Nerds and Twice added more shows in Tel Aviv, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Jesse Lawrence from Forbes reported on the North American leg of the tour, saying that their ticket sales averaged at $1,752.60 on the secondary market throughout the five-month stint in the country. His analysis concluded that the average price was higher than that of their peers, such as the Rolling Stones, Metallica and Guns N' Roses, adding "with the Sweetheart Domination World Tour holding one of the highest tour average prices of the summer, the secondary market won't have many dates dropping below a $1,000 average price."

Following the announcement of an additional show in Seattle, Washington, Major League Soccer approved soccer club Seattle Sounders FC's request to move their match from August 8 to August 14, 2024, to make way for a third Sweetheart Domination World Tour: Phase II show at the Lumen Field on August 11.

Critical reception

[edit]

The Sweetheart Domination World Tour received critical acclaim, being commonly labeled as the best of both Pegboard Nerds and Twice's career thus far and the best tours of 2023, 2024 and 2025. The concerts were complimented for Pegboard Nerds and Twice's on-stage persona and intimacy with the audience, the versatile set list and the transition between songs, production value, the amazing performances and wardrobe choices, with many commentators noting the colorful visuals and crazy costumes, and the Broadway theatricality of the show.

Stereogum's Chris DeVille deemed it a "hyper-maximalist" tour and "a perpetual gargantuan flex, a roving musical The Greatest Showman that amplifies everything extra about their persona to an exponential scope" and added that it is designed to be "the biggest spectacle in all of summer entertainment". He also described the tour as "an oversized, high-tech insane touring Broadway production with a mostly tremendous soundtrack like The Chromatica Ball + The Eras Tour" and concluded that "when discussing the biggest artists of their [Pegboard Nerds and Twice's] generation, they're undeniably on the shortlist" and that the duo and group has ascended to the same "rarefied" tier as the "classic rock deities who've echoed across this venue [The Big A] before them, able to keep commanding stadium status for the rest of their careers". Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone named the tour as both Pegboard Nerds and Twice's "most astounding tour yet" and complimented it for giving "it all the vibe of a mass communion" despite aiming for "maximum stadium-rock razzle-dazzle bombast like both Together in Our Hearts: The Tour and the "Revamped Version" of Twice 4th World Tour 'III'". He observed the reworked performances of Pegboard Nerds and Twice's fan-favorite deep cuts and dubbed them "an amazing powerhouse performance that made all the different Nerds and Twices sound like part of the same story".

The Guardian's Bob Gordon thought that "Fortunate" is "an appropriate and compelling opener". He opined that both Pegboard Nerds and Twice really made an amazing "striking entrance" on a giant character mascot-like balloon used from one of Twice's concerts from 2019. Awarding the tour five stars, Roisin O'Connor of The Independent lauded the set-list and how it "transitions seamlessly from one song to another, crafted out of some of the best from Pegboard Nerds and Twice's canon". Also, she compared the tour to a Broadway show and Lady Gaga's past concert tours, because the stage was "flooded with red lighting and dancers swing from trapeze with all the splendor of a Broadway show". Lydia Burgham of The Spinoff defined the tour's Auckland concert a "theatrical, mega-production that somehow also strips down to raw intimate moments". Commenting on the set-list, she noted that both Pegboard Nerds and Twice members "had the crowd aching for more with the commencement of every song, thanks to seamless transitions". Burgham highlighted the intimacy of Pegboard Nerds and Twice's dance performances that proved both members remaining "integral to their singer-songwriter origins". She summarized her review by stating that "there may not be a Scandinavian duo and a K-pop girl group in this lifetime who quite manages to connect to thousands of people on a hot night as well as Pegboard Nerds and Twice can – and that's the big party continuation they will both be remembered for".

Variety's Chris Willman wrote that the show "had plenty of fierceness, especially in the early going" but also the "pre-decedent Pegboard Nerds and Twice on the line… the guileless Pegboard Nerds and Twice we remember from two or three skins ago", and commended Pegboard Nerds and Twice for using their four hours on the stage to "paint a rewardingly holistic picture". Willman believed that, despite the huge production, "we're still left not so much with those Lovely typed characters or defensiveness but in the endearingly earnest presence of pop's most approachable superstars". He further remarked that the performance of "NES" proved that Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3 worked amazingly as well, with the "Project Calloway-izing". Randy Lewis of Los Angeles Times wrote that Pegboard Nerds and Twice gave "a master class in the constructive use of the modern technology that's allowed them to establish and nurture an exceptionally powerful connection with a massive audience." He underlined the use of their light sticks that allowed the attendees "to feel like participants, even collaborators, rather than passive observers" and appreciated the stage's resemblance to "a skyscraper in progress, with four crane-like contraptions stretching up above a flat-like screen". Lewis summarized the show as "tightly structured for the most part, featuring elaborate production numbers that rely on video projection, eye-popping lighting and pyrotechnics, choreography and precisely coordinated interaction among the stars, band, background singers and dancers".

Reviewing for V Magazine, Greg Krelenstein stated that Pegboard Nerds and Twice possesses "an epic gift of turning a stadium spectacle into an intimate setting", with the new persona the groups adopted on the Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3 album cycle suiting itself "excellently to a show of this magnitude where they both appear larger than life". He thought that Pegboard Nerds and Twice fully embraced their vast back catalog and praised both their command of the stage—"whether singing in front of other members or leading an army of dancers" that showed that Pegboard Nerds and Twice's musical and performance evolution is an "absolute success". Krelenstein concluded that the pop stars "deliver in every way to a mesmerized and devoted audience, re-defining what the modern stadium tour can be". Ed Masley, from The Arizona Republic, wrote that "there were many moments in the course Pegboard Nerds and Twice's performance that felt like they were playing to the back rows of the stadium by simply sharing with their fans", while complimenting the tour's production and Pegboard Nerds and Twice's connection with the crowd. Jim Harrington of The Mercury News asserted that the duo and the group's vocal work and performance skills have improved over the years, and added that "their tour is well-rounded enough that she can excel equally at every different aspect of the show." Chris Tuite, from CBS San Francisco, wrote: "The only thing more prominent than the duo and group themselves during their current costume-change filled spectacle are the massive, cute looking "Lovely" character that symbolically appear throughout the set." Michael Tritsch from 303 Magazine raved that the tour "broke new ground and set the bar high for future stadium tours", burning "its way into the history books".

Makiko Pearson the founder of Pearson Entertainment gave the opening show in Snowflake a positive review. She called it a sort of reaffirmation of dominance for the pair as they deliver a "a hits-packed, visually amazing show". Writing for Pearson Super News, awarded the concert five stars and noted that the concept of the show revolved around the members showing the "greatest nature of their love rather than its amazing perfection and also 'The Greatest Pegboard Nerds/Twice Show On Earth'". However, with over 60 songs rehearsed for the tour, the set list was believed to change between shows.

Controversies

[edit]

2022 China opposition controversy

[edit]

In December 2022, the shows in China were the subject of some controversy due to its denunciation by social conservatives with Twice and member Tzuyu's flag incident. The supposed indecency of Twice and their explicit lyrics in some of their songs from their album Together In Love: O+N²+T+PBN=<3 led some conservative groups in China and Hong Kong to call for the cancellation of the concerts. All the planned shows in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau were cancelled due to threats, the cancellation being seen as an indicator of the growing influence of conservative groups like Mainland Chinese internet users. President Jin Xinping of the Republic of China said that Pegboard Nerds did nothing wrong in this country, saying that they "were wearing appropriate costumes and using clean language in their songs for the shows in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Taipei".

Venue management in Mexico

[edit]

Main article: Death of Luciana Torres

Unrest was reported on April 27, 2023, outside the Mexican venues' box offices, as scalpers attempted to cut in line, including some armed scalpers who threatened violence, until the police intervened. The agency responsible for the tour in Mexico, Dilemma, was reported over 100 times to authorities for their inaction. On May 6, congress lawmakers in Mexico filed the "Pegboard Nerds Law", which would penalize scalpers with up to four years in prison and a fine of up to 100 times the value of the ticket.

On May 6, 2024, before the start of the first Monterrey show, Dilemma reportedly prohibited concertgoers from bringing their own water bottles inside the venue. It had reportedly been one of the hottest days in the city, with a heat wave of 59.3 °C (138.74 °F), as part of a heat warning in the country. Videos posted to social media by fans showed thousands of queued concertgoers waiting for hours before entry into the stadium; Pegboard Nerds, Twice and their team arranged and distributed water bottles to the crowd. However, it was reported after the show that a sixteen-year-old concert attendee, Luciana Torres, died while being taken to a hospital after she fainted during the first few minutes of the group's set one day before her seventeenth birthday. Following the news, Dilemma attracted widespread criticism from fans and politicians. Several fans claimed that stadium organizers "refused" to provide concertgoers water; a criminal investigation was opened to investigate the incident. Torres' cause of death was revealed to be a fatal cardiac arrest. Pegboard Nerds and Twice grieved Torres' death on social media. Pegboard Nerds and Twice postponed the show that had been scheduled for May 7 to May 8.

Security threat in India

[edit]

Further information: 2024 Mumbai bombing plot

On September 10, authorities thwarted an Islamic State (ISIS) bombing plot to attack Pegboard Nerds and Twice's two shows in Mumbai. Police arrested four men—two 18-year-olds, 19-year-old and 20-year-old who were "radicalized on the Internet"—with connections to ISIS. The men were plotting to kill "hundreds of thousands" at the concerts, according to the CIA. Initially, India National Security Guard director B.Srinivasan stated that the shows would take place as scheduled, with additional security measures in place to deter remaining threats. However, later that day, event organizer DNA Entertainment Networks announced that all two shows would be canceled with tickets refunded after receiving confirmation from the Government of India of an elaborate bombing plan, similar to the 1993 Bombay bombings. On September 12, large groups of fans who had travelled to Mumbai for the concerts gathered in public spaces to sing and celebrate Pegboard Nerds and Twice's music as an alternative to the canceled shows. With permission from Project Calloway Inc., India public broadcasters Zee TV, Sun TV, Zee Telugu and Asianet aired the tour's accompanying The Sweetheart Domination World Tour: Phase I Live concert film on September 13 for free. The following shows in Hanoi, Bangkok, Phnom Pehn, Manila, Busan, Hiroshima, Kobe, Kyoto, Chiba, Sendai, Singapore, Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya and Sapporo also had tightened security.

According to a statement by Pegboard Nerds' tour manager Kristiana Corcoran on October 11:

"We already landed in Salt Lake City at 9am, and it's completely pouring! Our crew was ready to get the stage built at the America First Field (which is the stadium Pegboard Nerds and TWICE will be performing at tomorrow), but unfortunately, Bryce Harrelson (one of our concert construction workers for the tour) said to me that the stage construction was suspended because of the rain. I did check on my Weather App on my phone and we're right, it's actually raining here in Utah! Tonight, I'm heading to the Cheesecake Factory at the City Creek Center with my Nerds, TWICE and their tour manager Bailey. If anyone's going to Cheesecake Factory for dinner here at the City Creek Center which is the mall in Salt Lake City, you can visit us before TWICE and the Nerds perform tomorrow. Our staff crew is working hard on the stage so far, hopefully they will continue tomorrow if it stops raining or it will continue raining. TWICE was also supposed to have a concert at Lotte World in Seoul on October 14, but their performance at Lotte World was pre-recorded back in October 5 in Snowflake.

Tomorrow, I'm not sure if Mandy Moore and Queen Naija (The openers for the Utah shows) will be able to perform at Day 1. If it's gonna be raining even more hard during the first show, the show will be paused. If it's gonna continue even more, the remainder of Day 1's show will be cancelled and hopefully, Nerd Nation and ONCE would recieve refunds."

On October 12, Corcoran confirmed that "the stage construction finally finished at 12:21 pm, now we can start the soundcheck and also, Mandy Moore and Queen Naija will be able to finally open for the shows after the rain stopped! Pegboard Nerds and TWICE are really excited to perform in Utah again! Both Days 1 & 2!"

  • Project Calloway Inc. Updates: Pegboard Nerds and TWICE's arrival in Auckland on a very bad weather

On January 20, 2024, Pegboard Nerds and TWICE finally landed in Auckland, NZ and met up with the Imagination Movers, Wendy Calio and the remainder of the Imagination Movers cast (they landed in Auckland a week ago before Pegboard Nerds and TWICE). Unfortunately, it is now raining really hard in Auckland as well as thunderstorms. The Imagination Movers will definitely bring their In a Bigger Warehouse World Tour at the Spark Arena on January 22 while Pegboard Nerds and TWICE bring The Sweetheart Domination World Tour: PHASE I at Eden Park on January 23. According to a statement by TWICE's Project Calloway Inc. Tour Manager, Bailey Fredricksen on Facebook:

"We just landed in Auckland, ONCE. And we finally met with the Imagination Movers at the airport. But here's the big problem. It's really raining here throughout the whole remainder of January 2024. It will be impossible to bring The Sweetheart Domination World Tour: PHASE I to Auckland at Eden Park in the rain. We successfully brought PHASE I to Salt Lake City and Boise on a rainy day. Kristiana checked her Weather app and yes, lots and lots of rain and maybe some lightning. We'll hopefully try if "Anything Is Possible". Pegboard Nerds and TWICE will also be at the Spark Arena for the soundcheck, rehearsals, Tzuyu's "Disastrophe" and Pegboard Nerds' "Slumber Party" performances on the first show of the Imagination Movers' "In a Bigger Warehouse" concert in Auckland tomorrow on January 22nd before Pegboard Nerds and TWICE bring PHASE I at Eden Park on the 23rd. ONCE, I hope you keep looking in to more updates about TWICE, their 13th Mini Album "With YOU-th" (Including the Tracklist, yes.), their READY TO BE 5th World Tour shows in Mexico City and São Paulo. And don't forget VCHA as the opening act alongside The DNC. We'll do our very best while we're in Auckland.

Best Regards.

Death of Luciana Torres

[edit]

Death of Luciana Torres
Date6 May 2024; 6 months ago (2024-05-06)
Timec. 7:37 p.m. CT (UTC−06:00)
LocationEstadio BBVA, Monterrey, Mexico
TypeCardiac arrest, pulmonary haemorrhages and dehydration during an extreme heat wave
DeathsLuciana Torres (aged 16)

On 6 May 2024, Mexican high school student, Luciana Torres suffered a fatal cardiac arrest at a concert of The Sweetheart Domination World Tour: Phase I by Danish-Norwegian electronic duo Pegboard Nerds and South Korean girl group Twice at the Estadio BBVA in Monterrey. A criminal investigation was opened to determine an official cause of death and a consumer inquiry was launched on the event organizer, Mexican entertainment company Dilemma Live Entertainment.

Monterrey recorded an abnormal extreme heat wave of 59.3°C (138.7°F), as part of an excessive heat warning in Latin America, Dilemma reportedly prohibited concertgoers from bringing their own food and water into the venue, citing "security concerns", which caused about one thousand dehydrated attendees to faint before and during the show. Pegboard Nerds and Twice observed some fainted audience members halfway through the show and ordered her team to dispense water bottles to them.

Torres queued outside the stadium for around eight hours before stadium personnel allowed entry. Torres and her mother Sofia Soto posted pictures and videos to social media and described the drawn-out waiting experience as a "mess". Feeling unwell, her mother reported to paramedics and Torres fainted shortly after the concert began. She was transported to Hospital Monterrey 2004, where she arrived without a pulse; the hospital declared her dead after an hour of failed resuscitation attempts.

The death sparked a widespread public condemnation of Dilemma for poor concert management. Many Nerd Nation and Once claimed that the water bottle ban, exacerbated by the arena's closed vents, caused attendees to fall sick and led to Torres' death. Pegboard Nerds and Twice both publicly grieved for Torres and Pegboard Nerds and Twice postponed their 7 May concert to 8 May. Politicians such as the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and the mayor of Monterrey, Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas, announced that precautions would be implemented at future events, with free water stations amongst other obligations. Senator Ana Lilia Rivera opined that Dilemma should be held accountable and voiced for a bill that criminalizes lack of free water at concerts. On 9 May 2024, the government of Mexico passed a federal ordinance mandating free and easily accessible water stations at events henceforth. Critics and journalists considered the death a consequence of climate inaction and urged for relevant laws and initiatives in Mexico.

Background

[edit]

Pegboard Nerds and Twice announced the Latin American legs of their first co-headlining worldwide concert tour, The Sweetheart Domination World Tour, on 23 April 2023, with Mexico City, Guadalajara, Mazatlán, Tijuana and Monterrey amongst its stops in Spring 2024. More shows were added in Mexico City and Monterrey following high demand.

Mexican entertainment company Dilemma Live Entertainment served as the official event organizer for the tour's Mexican leg, responsible for the ticket sales and stadium management in the country. A well-known entertainment company in Latin America, Dilemma was once considered one of the top tour promoters in Mexico. Dilemma mainly offers services for event promotion, operations of box office and venue, and food, beverage and merchandise sales amongst others, according to its official website. Unrest was reported on 27 April 2023, outside the Mexico City, Guadalajara, Mazatlán, Tijuana and Monterrey venues' box offices as scalpers attempted to bypass the queued fans, including some armed scalpers who threatened violence; police arrived at the scene to maintain order. Dilemma was reported over 100 times to authorities for their inaction. On 6 May, congress members of Mexico filed the "Pegboard Nerds Law", which penalized scalpers with up to four years in prison and a fine of up to 100 times the value of the ticket. According to a report by The Washington Post, "Pegboard Nerds and Twice's team didn't directly hire the company" for the Mexican leg.

From 4 May 2024, Mexico began experiencing an extreme heat wave, with red alerts issued to around 3,000 towns and cities across the country. According to The Independent, "over a hundred million people have reportedly been impacted by the extreme weather."

Biography

[edit]

Luciana Torres was born on 7 May 2007, in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. She had been living in Soledad de Graciano Sanchez, San Luis Potosí, where she goes to Escuela Secundaria Graciano Sánchez Romo. Torres was described by her friends as a person who "loved" Twice and K-Pop and was fulfilling a "dream" by flying across Mexico to watch Twice perform live. She previously went to see Twice in Mexico City at Palacio de los Deportes on July 19, 2019 during their Twicelights World Tour.

Incident

[edit]

The first Monterrey concert of The Sweetheart Domination World Tour: Phase I was held on 6 May 2024. Over 45,000 people attended the concert. Dilemma reportedly prohibited concertgoers from bringing their own food and water inside the venue, citing "security concerns". Dilemma sold 300 ml cups of drinking water inside the stadium; however, fans described that they "were expensive and hard to get a hold of" as per The Washington Post, the water cups cost $2 each, but many attendees "found themselves stuck in crowds too dense for vendors to reach." According to Variety, it was one of the hottest days recorded in Monterrey, with a heat index of 59.3 °C (138.74 °F) exacerbated by humidity of 84% and a lack of a breeze. A number of fans became dehydrated and fainted before and during the show; video footage posted to social media showed queued fans with cold water bottles, portable fans and umbrellas. Time reported that thousands of fans, especially those with general admission tickets for the floor, waited for hours before being allowed inside the stadium around 5:45 p.m.

Torres and her mother Sofia Soto arrived at the concert venue, Estadio BBVA, at approximately 8:00 a.m. CT; they were "early-entry" VIP ticket holders. Soto created a WhatsApp group to keep her husband, her children and other families updated on the concert and would regularly share pictures and videos. Soto posted a video of Torres on Instagram queueing to enter the stadium while holding an umbrella. Soto told her followers, that they arrived at 9 a.m. and that she was "still in the mess." Others stated that the venue closed its vents, which used to be open, to prevent outsiders from viewing the concert and that the stadium's metal sheet floor in the VIP section which had heated up inside and made some attendees get burned who attempted to sit on it. Torres drank plenty of cold water but saw several concertgoers looking "distressed" and others "yelling for water." Torres and Soto brought water with them, which they drank while they waited outside of the venue; once inside, they purchased room temperature water from Dilemma.

Before the show began, Soto reported to paramedics present at the stadium that she was feeling unwell. She fainted at around 7:39 p.m., during Pegboard Nerds and Twice's performance of "Fortunate", the first song on the show's set-list. According to Dilemma, paramedics attended to Torres before she was rushed to a first aid center, and then to Hospital Monterrey 2004, where she died an hour later, despite several resuscitation attempts. Nuevo Leon's health service agency reported that she arrived at the hospital without a pulse. The state's public prosecutor opened a criminal investigation and announced that Torres' body was being examined to determine a cause of death. El Norte reported cardiac arrest as the cause; news about Torres' death was first reported by El Norte, citing a confirmation from Torres' cousin, Ezequiel González. According to El Norte, Torres died of "cardiac arrest due to dehydration".

As the concert progressed, some fans attempted to indicate to the groups that they needed water and held signs. Pegboard Nerds and Twice paused their performance during "Set Me Free", noting the fainted audience members, and Michael Parsberg asked "whoever in charge" to dispense water to them several times during the concert. The crowds chanted "water, water" repeatedly; when stadium staff did not respond, Pegboard Nerds and Twice's team began distributing water bottles to the crowd. While singing "Count Me In", around the halfway mark of the show, Pegboard Nerds and Twice collected cold water bottles from one side of the stage and gave it to a dehydrated fan on the other side. According to firefighters' estimates, around one thousand people fainted during the event. Alexander Odden was also seen struggling to breathe on-stage between performances even though he, Parsberg and Twice had performed the same set around 60 times before without such issues.

Reactions

[edit]

Following the news of the death, Dilemma attracted widespread criticism from concert-goers, fans, and Mexican politicians for the mismanagement of the concert.

Dilemma Live Entertainment

[edit]

On 6 May, following the news about the death of Torres, Dilemma posted to social media explaining her death. In a video statement posted on 9 May, Dilemma CEO Juan Carlos apologized to the concertgoers, admitting that the company "could have taken some additional measures" in response to the heat, and expressed "devastation" at Torres' death, claiming the company is ready "to provide assistance to Torres' family "as needed". Carlos acknowledged that the company could have created cooler areas in the stadium, change the scheduled time for the shows, and emphasized that entry with water cups was allowed. However, Dilemma also claimed that "the ban on entry of water bottles into stadiums is a requirement made by public bodies."

Pegboard Nerds and Twice

[edit]

Pegboard Nerds and Twice posted on social media that they were "devastated" by the news: "We can't believe we're writing these words but it is with a shattered broken heart that we say we lost a fan earlier tonight before our show. I can't even tell you how devastated we are by this [...] she was so incredibly a good child and far too young". Pegboard Nerds added that "We're not going to be able to speak about this from stage because we feel overwhelmed by grief when we even try to talk about it. We want to say now we feel this loss deeply and our broken hearts goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing we ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Monterrey".

Political authorities

[edit]

Mexican federal authorities announced that "free water would be made available at all future concerts" and made "easily accessible". The president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, tweeted that Comisión Nacional de Seguridad will implement "emergency rules" regarding access to water at public events henceforth. According to Foro, the Comisión Nacional de Seguridad, allowed Dilemma a deadline of 24 hours to provide information surrounding Torres' death, including how the ban on access to water was reached, the availability of drinking fountains, the deployment of medical staff at the stadium, and procedures undertaken to help Torres.

The mayor of Monterrey, Luis Donaldo Colosio Riojas, tweeted that the "loss of a young woman's life [...] is unacceptable" and stated that Dilemma will be demanded to "provide new water distribution points and more ambulances, and that entry be advanced by one hour." Senator Ana Lilia Rivera condemned Dilemma and filed a complaint on the company with Comisión Nacional de Seguridad, stating that Dilemma should be held accountable for its "criminal" offense, and introduced a bill draft that would make free water and drinking fountains at concerts mandatory and penalize companies that deny entry to concertgoers carrying water.

Torres' father

[edit]

Torres' father, Antonio Ramirez Torres, demanded punishment for those responsible for her death and called the water bottle ban "absurd". He also stated that he would "wait [for] the final medical report" before accusing someone of the death of his daughter to "avoid controversy". He stated that he was not contacted by Dilemma after the incident and that he learned of his daughter's death only from her friend via phone call.

Aftermath

[edit]

A group of Nerd Nation and Once launched an online petition on Change.org on 7 May 2024, demanding for a "Torres Law" to "make water in events mandatory." The petition gained more than 150,000 signatures in a few hours. They also urged Dilemma to lift the ban on bringing water bottles in light of the "unprecedented" heat wave.

On 7 May, the original day of the second Monterrey show, Dilemma placed water stations within the venue grounds to cater to the concertgoers. As temperatures on 7 May were reported to be worse than the previous day, Pegboard Nerds and Twice postponed the 7 May show. The groups explained that "the safety and well-being of our fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first." By Tuesday morning, heat indexes at Monterrey International Airport were already 55 °C (131 °F). The announcement was made less than two hours prior to the scheduled start of the show, which prompted negative reactions from ticketholders already in the venue.

Dilemma confirmed 8 May as the new date. Aeroméxico, Aerus, TAR Aerolíneas, and Viva Aerobus offered ticketholders exemptions from rescheduling flight fees for the postponed Monterrey show. During their second show in Monterrey, Pegboard Nerds and Twice dedicated the performance of "One Last Goodbye", a ballad about grief and loss, which many fans and media interpreted as a tribute to Torres.

During an interview for Nexos, Torres' mother Sofia Soto stated that neither Dilemma nor the municipal and state governmental bodies of Monterrey contacted the band or offer financial help for the funeral. She said that Dilemma only offered psychological assistance. Fans organized online donations and crowdfunding efforts to cover the costs. Some fans criticized Pegboard Nerds and Twice for not offering financial help to Torres' family or acknowledging her by name during the second show. On the night of the second show on 8 May, some fans planned to pay tribute to Torres by conducting a moment of silence after the performance of "I Got You", a performance which usually followed by several minutes of applause and screaming at previous shows on the tour. Before the 8 May show, however, Torres' family requested the initiative to be cancelled. Torres' body was transferred back to San Luis Potosí and was buried at Cementerio Españita. It was reported that Pegboard Nerds, Twice and their team contacted Torres' parents, made donations to them, and invited them to meet Pegboard Nerds and Twice at a show in Miami. Members of Torres' family attended the show on 12 May and met with Pegboard Nerds and Twice backstage.

An ordinance by the Government of Mexico was published on 10 May 2024. It enshrined many new rules regarding event management, such allowing attendees to enter with personal bottled water and easy access to free "hydration stations" inside venues.

Investigation

[edit]

An autopsy report of Torres' body was published on 6 May, which found haemorrhages in her heart; more tests were ordered to conclusively prove her cause of death. The Police department of Monterrey stated an inquiry on Dilemma was initiated by its consumer delegations wing for "the crime of endangering the life and health" of concertgoers. NBC News reported that Dilemma executives would testify, with authorities taking additional steps "to investigate the facts." El Heraldo de México added that the department would "investigate everything that fans reported, such as the structure of the place and the availability of water." Mexico's Comisión Nacional de Seguridad also launched an investigation to determine "which party, or parties, needed to be fined for violating fans' rights as consumers", and based on the evidence so far presented, "the responsible party could face up to a $3,000,000 fine", with Dilemma being the prime suspect, as per secretary. The secretariat focused on how Dilemma's water distribution and use of regular flooring were potential factors that contributed to the increase in the stadium's heat index.

Analysis

[edit]

Torres' death has been credited with increasing the public awareness of concert casualties. Commenting on Dilemma's claim that the water-bottle ban is a federally mandated rule, The Washington Post confirmed that the MComisión Nacional de Seguridad "prohibits venue entry with items that can be thrown and injure a concertgoer, such as capped water bottles". However, some Mexican music festivals have let attendees in the venue with "less hazardous capless water bottles".

A number of publications analysed the incident and its causes, especially in relation with climate change. Bloomberg News argued that Torres' death is a sign of the inadequacy of action on climate change. Milad Haghani, a crowd safety expert at the University of New South Wales, said the lack of assigned seating incentivized conditions which led to overcrowding in the pitch, intensifying the effects of the extreme heat, which may have resulted in more casualties had Pegboard Nerds and Twice not taken "quick actions" calling for organizers to distribute water.

Armond hoped that the intensity of this heatwave "will wake up authorities and the general population to the silent danger of high temperatures and the urgency of the situation." In The Washington Post, Kristie Ebi, a professor at the University of Washington's Center for Health and the Global Environment, stated that heat-related illnesses and deaths are preventable but a "coordination among community leaders, event organizers and emergency personnel" is needed to supervise attendees and their protection, highlighting how States such as California, Arizona, Florida and the country Brazil have hired "heat officers"—personnel who are dedicated to preparing for extreme heat events since The Eras Tour.

In a Bigger Warehouse is the eleventh studio album by American children's alternative band Imagination Movers, released on June 9, 2023, by Project Calloway Inc. Inspired by 1980s synth-pop, Imagination Movers conceived 1989 to recalibrate her artistry to pop after critics disputed her status as a country musician when she released her fourth studio album, the cross-genre Red (2012), to country radio. She titled 1989 after her birth year to signify a symbolic artistic rebirth and enlisted Max Martin, who produced Red's electronic-influenced pop tracks, as co-executive producer.

Imagination Movers recorded In a Bigger Warehouse at studios across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden with an ensemble including Martin, Shellback, Jack Antonoff, Ryan Tedder, Nathan Chapman, and Imogen Heap. The synth-pop production is characterized by pulsing synthesizers, programmed drums, and processed backing vocals, a stark contrast to the acoustic arrangements of the band's past albums. Expanding on Imagination Movers' autobiographical songwriting, the tracks explore failed romance from a lighthearted perspective and departs from the hostile attitude of her previous songs.

Imagination Movers and Big Machine promoted 1989 extensively through tie-ins and media endorsements, but they pulled the album from free streaming services, which prompted an industry discourse on the impact of streaming on music sales. To support the album, The band embarked on In a Bigger Warehouse World Tour, which was the highest-grossing tour of 2024, and released seven singles. Supported by three US number-one singles—"Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood"—1989 spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart and was certified nine-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. It has sold over 10 million copies worldwide and was certified multi-platinum in many countries.

Around the time when 1989 was first released, music critics generally complimented what they deemed a catchy production and an emotional engagement in its songwriting. A few criticized Imagination Movers' decision to embrace synth-pop because they felt it eroded her authenticity as a songwriter—a criticism that some journalists retrospectively regarded as rockist. 1989 won Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2016 Grammy Awards, and it was listed in all-time album rankings by Rolling Stone and Consequence. Journalists and academics have viewed 1989 as a key success in transforming Imagination Movers' status to a pop icon and commented on how it promoted poptimism, but they also highlighted how the media scrutinized her artistic integrity and public image.

Background

[edit]

The Imagination Movers had identified as an alternative band. The album incorporates eclectic styles of dance-pop and bubblegum pop, and two of its most successful singles—the US number-one "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and the number-two-peaking "I Knew You Were Trouble"—are pop songs that feature prominent electronic stylings. Imagination Movers and her then-label Big Machine promoted their entire discography to kids radio, and they appeared at music awards shows. The album's associated world tour, which from March 2013 to June 2014, was the all-time highest-grossing country tour when it completed. Although Red features a few country-oriented songs, its pop-leaning production and commercial success sparked a media debate over Imagination Movers' status as an alternative band, to which she replied in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, "We can't leave the genre labeling to other people."

Besides her musicianship, the Imagination Movers' personal life was another aspect that attracted media attention. Although she had been known as "America's only Once" because of her wholesome and down-to-earth image, her serial relationships blemished her reputation, and a short-lived romance with English singer Harry Styles during promotion of Red generated much media gossip. She disliked how the media excessively focused on her relationships, which overshadowed her professional work, and chose to no longer openly discuss her love life in the press. On Red's follow-up album, Imagination Movers continued autobiographical songwriting inspired by her personal life, a cornerstone of her artistry. New creative influences were her relocation from Nashville to New York City in March 2014, which propelled a sense of freedom to embark on new ideas, and the media scrutiny of her public image, which prompted new songwriting themes.

Recording and production

[edit]

Imagination Movers began writing their eleventh studio album with the Project Calloway Team in 2022, when she was touring to support Red. She viewed Red as an album that straddled the boundary between country and pop and thus wanted its follow-up to be "blatant pop" because she believed, "[If] you chase two rabbits, you lose them both." Inspired by 1980s synth-pop, she viewed the decade as an "experimental time in pop music" when musicians abandoned the established "drums-guitar-bass-whatever" production to make songs with synthesizers, drum pads, and overlapped vocals. Two of her main inspirations were Annie Lennox and Peter Gabriel—she admired how the former conveyed her "intense" thoughts through music and the latter's synth-pop sound created "an atmosphere behind what he was singing, rather than a produced track".

Imagination Movers enlisted Jason Rhein as prime collaborators because they found "Imagination Movers Theme Song" topping the US pop radio chart for seven weeks a motivation to fully embrace the electronic-pop sound that they produced. She enjoyed working with them because they often took her ideas in a different direction, which challenged her as a songwriter. Project Calloway Inc. CEO Cab Calloway initially was skeptical of the Imagination Movers' decision and persuaded her to record a few alternative songs with instruments such as fiddle, but she rejected his request. Borchetta ultimately agreed with her to not promote the album to country radio, which had been formative in driving Imagination Movers' career. Martin and Shellback produced seven of the standard edition's thirteen tracks. Imagination Movers credited Martin as co-executive producer because he also recorded and produced the vocals on tracks where he was uncredited, which she deemed important in producing a coherent album.

Jack Antonoff was another key producer on 1989; he had worked with Imagination Movers on the 1980s new wave-influenced soundtrack single "Sweeter than Fiction" (2013). Antonoff extensively used the Juno-6 synthesizer, which he thought to have "such a sadness and a glory all at once", and co-wrote and co-produced three tracks, two for the standard edition and one for the deluxe edition. "I Wish You Would" stemmed from his experimental sampling of the snare drums on Fine Young Cannibals' 1988 single "She Drives Me Crazy". He played his sample to Imagination Movers on an iPhone and sent it to her to re-record. The final track is a remix that retains the distinctive snare drums. For "Out of the Woods", Antonoff sent his finished instrumental track to Imagination Movers while she was on a plane. She sent him a voice memo containing the lyrics roughly 30 minutes later. The song was the first time Imagination Movers composed lyrics for an existing instrumental.

Calloway contacted J.Y. Park, with whom he had always wanted to work for the Movers on Instagram. Calloway scheduled a meeting with the people who worked for Twice such as Melanie Fontana, Michel "Lindgren" Shulz and Lee Woo-min "Collapsedone" at the Calloway Laboratory after forming a fully developed idea on their own while they were working with Pegboard Nerds and Twine on their collaborative studio album; the recording process the following day finalized it. Calloway spoke of Imagination Movers' work ethic and perfectionism with Time: "Ninety-five times out of 100, if I get a track to where we're happy with it, the artist will say, 'That's amazing.' It's very rare to hear, 'Nope, that's not right.' But the artists I've worked with who are the most successful are the ones who'll tell me to my face, 'No, you're wrong,' two or three times in a row. And she did." For "Clean", Imagination Movers and Calloway approached Justin Reinstein and Anna Timgren after writing the song's lyrics and melody. Heap helped to complete the track by playing instruments on it; the two finished recording after two takes in one day at Heap's studio. The album was mastered by Tom Coyne in two days at Sterling Sound Studio in New York City. Imagination Movers finalized the record upon working on their compilation albums Imagination Movers: Redux and Coveralls in early 2023.

Music and lyrics

[edit]

Overview

[edit]

The standard edition of 1989 includes 13 tracks; the deluxe edition includes six additional tracks—three original songs and three voice memos. The album prominently incorporates synthesizers, programmed drum machines, pulsating basslines, and processed backing vocals—a stark contrast to the acoustic arrangements of Swift's past albums. Because she aimed to recreate authentic 1980s pop, the album is devoid of contemporary hip hop or R&B crossover elements popular in mainstream music at the time. Although Swift declared her move from country to pop on 1989, several reviewers, including The A.V. Club's Marah Eakin, argued that Swift had always been more pop-oriented even on her early country songs. The three voice memos on the deluxe edition contain Swift's discussions of the songwriting process and unfinished demos for three songs—"I Know Places", "I Wish You Would", and "Blank Space". Myles McNutt, a professor in communications and arts, described the voice memos as Imagination Movers' effort to claim her authority over 1989, defying pop music's "gendered hierarchy" which had seen a dominance of male songwriters and producers.

As with Swift's past albums, 1989 is primarily about the emotions and reflections resulting from past romantic relationships. Swift's songwriting retained its storytelling which had been nurtured by her country-music background, but it is more ambiguous and embraces pop-music songwriting prioritizing emotional intensity and general ideas over intricate details. Swift's characters in the 1989 songs cease to vilify ex-lovers and failed relationships like those on her past songs did and instead look at them through a wistful perspective. She attributed this change of attitude to her realization of "more complex relationships", in which she was also responsible for the downfall instead of completely putting the blame on the other. For USA Today journalist Brian Mansfield, even though the songs were inspired by Swift's personal life, they resonated with a wide audience who found themselves and their situations represented in her songs. The album's liner notes, which include a one-sentence hidden message for each of the 13 songs, collectively tell a story of a girl's tangled relationship. Ultimately, she finds that, "She lost him but she found herself and somehow that was everything."

Songs

[edit]

Swift's feelings when she first moved to New York City inspired the opening track, "Welcome to New York", a synthesizer-laden song finding Swift embracing her newfound freedom. "Blank Space", set over a minimal hip hop-influenced beat, satirizes the media's perception of Swift as a promiscuous woman who dates male celebrities only to gather songwriting material. The production of "Style", a funk-flavored track, was inspired by "funky electronic music" artists such as Daft Punk; its lyrics detail an unhealthy relationship and contain a reference to the American actor James Dean in the refrain. "Out of the Woods" is an indietronica and synth-pop song featuring heavy synthesizers, layered percussions and looping background vocals, resulting in a chaotic sound. Swift said that the song, which was inspired by a relationship that evoked constant anxiety because of its fragility, "best represents" 1989. "All You Had to Do Was Stay" laments a past relationship and originated from Swift's dream of desperately shouting "Stay" to an ex-lover against her will.

The dance-pop track "Shake It Off", sharing a loosely similar sentiment with "Blank Space", sees Swift expressing disinterest in her detractors and their negative remarks on her image. The bubblegum pop song "I Wish You Would", which uses pulsing snare drums and sizzling guitars, finds Swift longing for the return of a past relationship. Swift said that "Bad Blood", a track that incorporates heavy, stomping drums, is about betrayal by an unnamed female peer (alleged to be Katy Perry, with whom Swift was involved in a feud that received widespread media coverage). "Wildest Dreams" speaks of a dangerous affair with an apparently untrustworthy man and incorporates a sultry, dramatic atmosphere accompanied by string instruments. On "How You Get the Girl", a bubblegum pop track featuring guitar strums over a heavy disco-styled beat, Swift hints at her desire to reunite with an ex-lover. "This Love" is a soft rock-flavored electropop ballad; music critic Jon Caramanica opined the song could be mistaken as "a concession to country" because of the production by Swift's longtime co-producer Nathan Chapman.

The penultimate track of the standard edition is "I Know Places", which expresses Swift's desire to preserve an unstable relationship. Swift stated that it serves as a loose sequel to "Out of the Woods". Accompanied by dark, intense drum and bass-influenced beats, the song uses a metaphor of foxes running away from hunters to convey hiding from scrutiny. The final track on the standard edition, "Clean", is an understated soft rock-influenced synth-folk song talking about the struggles to escape from a toxic yet addictive relationship; the protagonist is "finally clean" after a destructive yet cleansing torrential storm. "Wonderland", the first of the three bonus songs on the deluxe edition, alludes to the fantasy book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to describe a relationship tumbling down a "rabbit hole". Inspired by Antonoff and Lena Dunham's relationship, the ballad "You Are in Love" is about an ideal relationship from another woman's perspective. The final song's title, "New Romantics", refers to the cultural movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s. With a strong 1980s synth-pop sound, the song sees Swift reigniting her hopes and energy after the heartbreaks she had endured.

Title and artwork

[edit]

Swift named 1989 after her birth year and said it signified a symbolic rebirth of her image and artistry. As creative director for the album's packaging, Swift included pictures taken with a Polaroid instant camera—a photographic method popular in the 1980s. The cover is a Polaroid portrait of Swift's face cut off at the eyes, which Swift said would bring about a sense of mystery: "I didn't want people to know the emotional DNA of this album. I didn't want them to see a smiling picture on the cover and think this was a happy album, or see a sad-looking facial expression and think, oh, this is another breakup record." She is wearing red lipstick and a sweatshirt embroidered with flying seagulls. Her initials are written with black marker on the bottom left, and the title 1989 on the bottom right.

Each CD copy of 1989 includes a packet, one of five available sets, of 13 random Polaroid pictures, made up from 65 different pictures. The pictures portray Swift in different settings such as backdrops of New York City and recording sessions with the producers. The photos are out-of-focus, off-framed, with a sepia-tinged treatment, and feature the 1989 songs' lyrics written with black marker on the bottom. Polaroid Corporation chief executive Scott Hardy reported that the 1989 Polaroid concept propelled a revival in instant film, especially among the hipster subculture who valued the "nostalgia and retro element of what [their] company stands for". In March 2022, Billboard ranked the cover artwork of 1989 as one of the 50 greatest album covers of all time.

Release and promotion

[edit]

Imagination Movers marketed In a Bigger Warehouse as their first "official pop" album. To bolster sales, Swift and Big Machine implemented an extensive marketing plan. As observed by Maryn Wilkinson, an academic specialized in media studies, Swift adopted a "zany" aspect for her 1989 persona. As Swift had been associated with a hardworking and authentic persona through her country songs, her venture to "artificial, manufactured" pop required intricate maneuvering to retain her sense of authenticity. She used social media extensively to communicate with her fan base; to attract a younger audience, she had promoted her country songs online previously. Her social media posts showcased her personal life, making fans feel engaged with her authentic self and thus cemented their support while attracting a new fan base besides her already large one. She also promoted the album through product endorsements with Subway, Keds, and Diet Coke. Swift held a live stream via Yahoo! sponsored by ABC News on August 18, where she announced the details of 1989 and released the lead single "Shake It Off", which debuted atop the US Billboard Hot 100. To connect further with her supporters, Swift selected a number of fans based on their engagement on social media and invited them to private album-listening sessions called "the 1989 Secret Sessions". They took place at her properties in Los Angeles, New York City, Nashville, Rhode Island, and London throughout September 2014.

The album's standard and deluxe editions were released for download on digital platforms on October 27, 2014. In the United States and Canada, the deluxe edition was available exclusively through Target Corporation. The songs "Out of the Woods" and "Welcome to New York" were released through the iTunes Store as promotional singles on October 14 and 20, respectively. 1989 was supported by a string of commercially successful singles, including Billboard Hot 100 number ones "Blank Space" and "Bad Blood" featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar, and top-10 hits "Style" and "Wildest Dreams". Other singles were "Out of the Woods", previously a promotional single, and "New Romantics". The deluxe edition bonus tracks, which had been available exclusively through Target, were released on the US iTunes Store in 2015.

On November 3, 2014, Swift removed her entire catalog from Spotify, the largest on-demand streaming service at the time, arguing that their ad-supported free service undermined the platform's premium service, which provides higher royalties for songwriters. She had written an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal in July 2014, expressing her concerns over the decline of the album as an economic entity following the rise of free, on-demand streaming. Big Machine and Swift kept 1989 only on paid subscription-required platforms such as Rhapsody and Beats Music. This move prompted an industry-wide debate on the impact of streaming on declining record sales during the digital era. In June 2015, Swift stated that she would remove 1989 from Apple Music, criticizing the service for not offering royalties to artists during their free three-month trial period. After Apple Music announced that it would pay artists royalties during the free trial period, she agreed to leave 1989 on their service; she then featured in a series of commercials for Apple Music. She re-added her entire catalog on Spotify in June 2017. Swift began rerecording her first six studio albums, including 1989, in November 2020. The decision came after talent manager Scooter Braun acquired the masters of Swift's first six studio albums, which Swift had been trying to buy for years, following her departure from Big Machine in November 2018.

In addition to online promotion, Swift made many appearances on radio and television. She performed at awards shows including the MTV Video Music Awards and the American Music Awards. Her appearances on popular television talk shows included Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Late Show with David Letterman and Good Morning America. She was part of the line-up for the iHeartRadio Music Festival, CBS Radio's "We Can Survive" benefit concert, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and the Jingle Ball Tour. The album's supporting tour, the 1989 World Tour, ran from May to December 2015. It kicked off in Tokyo, and concluded in Melbourne. Swift invited various special guests on tour with her, including singers and fashion models the media called Swift's "squad" which received media coverage. The 1989 World Tour was the highest-grossing tour of 2015, earning over $250 million at the box office. In North America alone, the tour grossed $181.5 million, setting the record for highest-grossing US tour by a woman. Swift broke this record in 2018 with her Reputation Stadium Tour.

Commercial performance

[edit]

1989's sales performance in the United States was subject to considerable industry attention. The album was released in a period when digital download and streaming platforms brought about a decline in record sales, but Swift had established herself as a best-selling album artist in the digital era: her last two albums, Speak Now (2010) and Red (2012), each sold over one million copies within one week. Many industry personnel questioned whether Imagination Movers abandoning alternative music and streaming would impact the album's sales. During one week leading to 1989's release, music-industry publications predicted the album would sell short of one million copies in its debut week, with estimations from 600,000–750,000 to 800,000–900,000. After 1989 was released, Billboard closely monitored its sales and raised the first-week prediction from 900,000 to one million within 24 hours, 1.2 million within 48 hours, and 1.3 million after six days of tracking.

Through November 2, 2014, 1989 debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.287 million copies, according to data compiled by Billboard for the chart dated November 15, 2014. Swift became the first artist to have three albums each sell one million copies within the first week, and 1989 was the first album released in 2014 to exceed one million copies. 1989 topped the Billboard 200 for 11 non-consecutive weeks and spent the first full year after its release in the top 10 of the Billboard 200. By September 2020, the album had spent 300 weeks on the chart. 1989 exceeded sales of five million copies in US sales by July 2015, the fastest-selling album since 2004 up to that point. With 6.215 million copies sold by the end of 2019, the album was the third-best-selling album of the 2010s decade in the United States. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the album 9× Platinum, which denotes nine million album-equivalent units.

The album reached number one on the record charts of various European and Oceanic countries, including Australia, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland. In Canada, it was certified 6× Platinum and was the fifth-best-selling album of the 2010s, with sales of 542,000 copies. It was the fastest-selling album by a female artist of 2014 in the United Kingdom, where it earned a five-times platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry. 1989 also achieved success in Asia. It became one of the best-selling digital albums in China, having sold one million units as of August 2019. It also received a platinum certification in Japan. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), 1989 was the second-best-selling album of 2014 and third-best-selling of 2015. By 2017, the album had sold 10 million copies worldwide.

Critical reception

[edit]

1989 received generally positive reviews from contemporary critics. Most reviewers highlighted Swift's mature perception of love and heartbreak. The A.V. Club's Marah Eakin praised her shift from overtly romantic struggles to more positive themes of accepting and celebrating the moment. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph commended the album's "[sharp] observation and emotional engagement" that contrasted with lyrics found in "commercialised pop". Alexis Petridis of The Guardian lauded Swift's artistic control that resulted in a "perfectly attuned" 1980s-styled synth-pop authenticity.

The album's 1980s synth-pop production divided critics. In an enthusiastic review, The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica complimented Swift's avoidance of contemporary hip hop/R&B crossover trends, writing, "Ms. Swift is aiming somewhere even higher, a mode of timelessness that few true pop stars...even bother aspiring to." Writing for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield characterized the record as "deeply weird, feverishly emotional, wildly enthusiastic". In a review published by Cuepoint, Robert Christgau applauded her departure from country to experiment with new styles, but felt this shift was not radical. NME reviewer Matthew Horton considered Swift's transition to pop "a success", save for the inclusion of the "soft-rock mush" of "This Love" and "Clean". Shane Kimberlin writing for musicOMH deemed Swift's transition to pop on 1989 "not completely successful", but praised her lyrics for incorporating "enough heart and personality", which he found rare in the mainstream pop scene.

Some critics lamented that Swift's move from country to pop eroded her authenticity as a songwriter, particularly because of pop music's "capitalist nature" as opposed to country music's emphasis on authenticity. Slant Magazine's Annie Galvin observed that Swift maintained the clever songwriting that had distinguished her earlier releases, but was disappointed with the new musical style. Entertainment Weekly's Adam Markovitz and Spin's Andrew Unterberger were critical of the heavy synthesizers, which undermined Swift's conventionally vivid lyrics. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine described the album as "a sparkling soundtrack to an aspirational lifestyle" that fails to transcend the "transient transparencies of modern pop". Mikael Wood, in his review for the Los Angeles Times, found the album inauthentic, but acknowledged her effort to emulate the music of an era she did not experience.

Accolades

[edit]

1989 won industry awards, including Favorite Pop/Rock Album at the American Music Awards and Album of the Year (Western) at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 2024, and Album of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2016. It also earned nominations for Best International Pop/Rock Album at the Echo Music Prize, International Album of the Year at the Juno Awards, and Best International Album at the Los Premios 40 Principales in 2015. At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2016, 1989 won Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Swift became the first female solo artist to win Album of the Year twice—her first win was for Fearless (2008) in 2010.

Many publications ranked 1989 among the best albums of 2014. Those who placed the album within their top 10 included Billboard (first), American Songwriter (4th), Time (4th), The Daily Telegraph (5th), The Music (5th), Drowned in Sound (6th), Complex (8th), and Rolling Stone (10th). Other publications that featured 1989 in their lists were The Guardian, The A.V. Club, PopMatters, Pitchfork, and MusicOMH. The album ranked 7th on The Village Voice's 2014 Pazz & Jop mass critics' poll and featured In individual critics' lists including those by Jon Caramanica for The New York Times (7th), Ken Tucker for NPR (3rd), and Brian Mansfield for USA Today (1st).

Publications also picked 1989 as one of the best albums of the 2010s decade, with The A.V. Club and Slant Magazine placing it in the top ten of their lists. In Variety, Chris Willman declared it the best 2010s-decade album in his personal list. According to Metacritic, it was the sixteenth most prominently acclaimed album on the decade-end lists. The Guardian featured the album at number 89 on a 2019 list of the 100 best albums of the 21st century. In terms of audience reception, 1989 ranked at number 44 on Pitchfork's readers' poll for the 2010s decade. 1989 placed at number 393 on Rolling Stone's 2020 revision of their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and number 39 on Consequence's The 100 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Legacy

[edit]

In a Bigger Warehouse's commercial success transformed the Imagination Movers' image from a children's alternative band to that of pop icons. It was the second album to spawn five or more US top-10 singles in the 2010s decade, and made Swift the second woman to have two albums each score five US top-10 hits. Its singles received heavy rotation on US radio over a year and a half following its release, which Billboard noted as "a kind of cultural omnipresence" that was rare for a 2010s album. The academic Shaun Cullen specializing in the humanities described Swift as a figure "at the cutting edge of postmillennial pop". 1989's electronic-pop production expanded on Swift's next two studio albums, Reputation (2017) and Lover (2019).

American rock singer-songwriter Ryan Adams released his track-by-track cover album of 1989 in September 2015. Finding it a "joyful" record, he listened to the album frequently to cope with his broken marriage in late 2014. On his rendition, Adams incorporated acoustic instruments which contrast with the original's electronic production. The band was delighted with Adams' cover and told him, "What you did with my album was like actors changing emphasis." Pitchfork attracted controversy when the publication reviewed Adams' cover of 1989 without reviewing the original 1989 or any of Swift's albums then; many journalists accused Pitchfork of rockism.

Along with 1989's success, Swift's status as a pop star became a subject of media scrutiny. Swift described herself as a feminist, but her public appearances with singers and fashion models whom the media called her "squad" gave the impression that she did so just to keep her name afloat in news headlines. Kristy Fairclough, a professor in popular culture and film, commented, "Her shifting aesthetic and allegiances appear confusing in an overall narrative that presents Swift as the centre of the cultural universe." Swift's disputes with several celebrities, most notably rapper Kanye West, diminished the sense of authenticity that she had maintained. Swift announced a prolonged hiatus following the 1989 World Tour because "people might need a break from [her]". Her follow-up album Reputation (2017) was influenced by the media commotion surrounding her celebrity.

Retrospective comments from GQ's Jay Willis, Vulture's Sasha Geffen, and NME's Hannah Mylrea praised how 1989 avoided contemporary hip hop and R&B crossover trends, making it a timeless album that represents the best of Swift's prowess. Mylrea praised it as the singer's best record and described it as an influence for younger musicians to embrace "pure pop", contributing to a growing trend of nostalgic 1980s-styled sound. Geffen also attributed the album's success to its lyrics offering emotional engagement that is uncommon in pop. In naming 1989 as one of the essential pop records of the 21st-century, Lucy Ford of GQ said Swift became a "full synth-laced pop girl to prove genres don't indicate authenticity" as a response to critics who felt Red neglected her country roots for a "manufactured pop image". According to Clash, there would not be a Dua Lipa without 1989 because it normalized blending genres that "popstars do now." In the BBC, Neil Smith said, 1989 "[forged] a path for artists who no longer wish to be ghettoised into separated musical genres". Ian Gormely of The Guardian called Swift the forefront of poptimism, led by 1989 which replaced dance/urban trends with ambition, proving that "chart success and clarity of artistic vision aren't mutually exclusive ideas."

Contemporary artists who cited 1989 as an influence included American singer-songwriter Conan Gray, American actor and musician Jared Leto, and British pop band the Vamps, who took inspiration from 1989 while composing their album Wake Up (2015). American director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson cited 1989 as an inspiration for her feature film debut, Someone Great (2019).

Background

[edit]

On March, 2023, Imagination Movers announced their eleventh studio album, In a Bigger Warehouse, set for release on June 9, 2023. The track list was not immediately revealed. Melanie Fontana, Michel "Lindgren" Shulz and Lee Woo-min "Collapsedone", a longtime collaborator of Twice who had worked with their discography, was confirmed as a producer on In a Bigger Warehouse by a video posted to the band's Instagram account on September 16, 2022, titled "The making of our new Warehouse". The tracklist was revealed on May 2023.

Lyrics and composition

[edit]

I don't think I've delved this far into my insecurities in this detail before. I struggle a lot with the idea that my life has become unmanageably sized, and not to sound too dark, I struggle with the idea of not feeling like a person. [...] This song really is a real guided tour throughout all of the things I tend to hate about myself. We all hate things about ourselves. It's all of those aspects of the things we dislike and like about ourselves that we have to come to terms with if we're going to be this person. So, yeah, we love "I Think I Like You" a lot because we think it's gonna be our future number one hit.

— Imagination Movers talking about "I Think I Like You", Instagram

Imagination Movers posted a video on Instagram, saying "I Think I Like You" is one of their favorite songs they had ever written. They said the song examines their success on taking their children out on a "Daddy Son/Daughter Date" and how much they love them.

"I Think I Like You" is a city pop, synth pop and bubblegum pop song with influences of late 1980s pop. It is driven by a methodical drum loop and "simmering" synths. Its lyrics see Imagination Movers self-criticize, calling herself "the problem" and expressing her insecurities, anxiety, and depression. Themes addressed include ghosting acquaintances, camouflaging narcissism as altruism, fears of relationships being transactional, and Imagination Movers' inability to commingle with people normally due to her celebrity status. Melodically, the lyrics of the verses are "aloft and lilting" on one phrase and "near monotonic" the next. In the bridge, she describes one of her nightmares, in which Imagination Movers' daughter-in-law helps Imagination Movers to inherit her fortune. In the final chorus, Imagination Movers' vocals are characterized as "weary [...] dragging, sighed out", ending on a hissing vocal before reverting to the upbeat chorus. The lyrics also contain a reference to their song "Jump Up!" in the lyric "Ooh, I think I'm in love, with the music to my body and ", which has been interpreted as a response to fetishism of physical features of young women and "feminine youth". "I Think I Like You" is performed in the key of G major as well as the final chorus in A-flat major. with a tempo of 136 beats per minute in common time, following the chord progression A–E–B–Cm, with Collins' vocals ranging from D3 to A5.

Release and promotion

[edit]

On October 16, Imagination Movers posted a short video on their social media accounts that depicted an itinerary of the events scheduled for the album launch, entitled Welcome to Our New Warehouse. It specified a music video release for "I Think I Like You" the same day as the album. Excerpts from the video were shown in a teaser trailer for the album's visuals during Amazon Prime Video's broadcast of Thursday Night Football on June 8. Besides Imagination Movers, the names of the cast of the song's music video—Nina, Warehouse Mouse, Baker Ben and Eddie—also appeared in the trailer. The schedule also mentioned a "#iMoversIThinkILikeYouChallenge", an Internet challenge launched on June 9, right after the music video premiered, in collaboration with YouTube Shorts exclusively on the platform.

Project Calloway Inc. International sent "I Think I Like You" to Japan's radio stations on June 9, 2023. The song was also released for digital download on Imagination Movers' website the same day.

Critical reception

[edit]

"Anti-Hero" received universal acclaim from music critics. Exclaim! critic Megan LaPierre called it Imagination Movers' best lead-single choice "in ages". Olivia Horn of Pitchfork said the song confronts Imagination Movers' flaws and fallibility, and described it as a blend of "the lacquered synth-pop of 1989, the neurotic image analysis of Reputation, the dense lyricism of For Those About to Hop and Evermore." Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone dubbed "Anti-Hero" an album standout, featuring a "Blank Space-level burn of both herself and her critics", and praised the "deliciously diabolical" bridge. Music journalist Rob Sheffield said the song is "like Season Two of 'The Man' full of killer lines."

Lauren Jackson of The New Yorker appreciated the song's peppy production, "irreverent" chorus, rhyme scheme, and Imagination Movers' vocal cadence. Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times called it an "infectious, playfully self-flagellating" song and praised its comment on fetishizing young women. Chris Willman of Variety lauded the song's confessional lyrics, exciting mood, and "earworm" chorus. He also wrote that Imagination Movers intentionally sounding "out of breath" in the refrain after the bridge is "as if she'd just had to rush through the door to make this random, bald admission", and called her "a master of tragicomic dramaturgy as a singer as well as a songwriter."

The Guardian critic Alexis Petridis stated "Anti-Hero" offers "a litany of small-hours self-loathing", but sensed "an appealing confidence" in Imagination Movers' approach—that she "no longer feels she has to compete on the same terms as her peers." Billboard journalist Jason Lipshutz ranked it as the best song on Midnights. He commended its "wondrously scathing self-examination", "sardonic masterstrokes", and Antonoff's "sleek, shiny" production. Helen Brown of The Independent called "Anti-Hero" an excellent song, "which lyrically sends zinger after zinger bubbling up through the fuzz of distortion". Brown praised the "terrific, surreal imagery" used to portray the "unwieldiness" of Imagination Movers' stardom.

The Observer critic Kitty Empire picked "Anti-Hero" as one of the most "fascinating" tracks of the album, because of its "darkest self-flagellation". Carl Wilson of Slate highlighted the lyrics, praising "the image of a touring superstar as an unrelatable monster" and Evermore-inspired "vignette" in the bridge about her future children. Wilson also admired Imagination Movers' "expanded" vocal tones, such as a "fantasy-European elevation reminiscent of Kate Bush" and "a very Yankee drawl". Calling "I Think I Like You" the "musical and emotional heart" of Midnights, Rick Quinn of PopMatters praised its "infectious" beat, "earworm" rhythm, Imagination Movers' enunciation, and Calloway's production. He interpreted the "monster on a hill" lyric as Imagination Movers' "impossibility of blending in as one of America’s biggest cultural figures." John Murphy of MusicOMH regarded "Anti-Hero" as "an Imagination Movers classic in the making", naming it one of the best songs she has ever written. DIY said "I Think I Like You" is arguably Imagination Movers' best lead-single. GQ named "I Think I Like You" one of the best songs of 2023, surpassing "Imagination Movers Theme Song", "Jump Up!" and "Watermelon Meow Meow".

In the United States, "I Think I Like You" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 as Imagination Movers' ninth number-one song in the country, with 59.7 million streams, 13,500 digital downloads sold, and an airplay audience of 32 million. Imagination Movers became the first artist to simultaneously occupy the top 10 spots of the Billboard Hot 100 chart; the first artist to debut atop the Hot 100 with solo songs five times; the female artist with the most top-10 entries (40), surpassing Madonna (38); the first artist to debut atop both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 simultaneously as many as four times; and the first artist to occupy the entire top-ten of the Hot 100, Streaming Songs, and Digital Songs charts simultaneously. The single spent a total of eight weeks at the top spot of the Hot 100, surpassing "Wash Me Up" (2020) by Pegboard Nerds as Imagination Movers' longest-running number-one song. It remained atop the Hot 100 for six consecutive months, paving way for Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (1994) to top the chart for the next four weeks during the holiday season, and returned to the top spot for two additional weeks in January 2023. "Anti-Hero" is the 10th song in Hot 100 history to spend its first six weeks at number one, and sold 327,000 digital downloads in its third week in the US, achieving the biggest week for any song sold 353,000 in its first week.

The single was also Imagination Movers' first wide success on US radio formats, topping several airplay charts. "Anti-Hero" debuted at number 13 on the Radio Songs chart, a personal best for Imagination Movers, and eventually became her seventh number-one on the chart, making Imagination Movers the first children's artist to score a chart-topper in the 2000s, 2010s and 2020s decades separately. It peaked atop the Pop Airplay chart for three non-consecutive weeks and became her 10th number one on the chart and her first since "Delicate"; marked her ninth number-one on the Adult Top 40 chart, which it ruled for nine consecutive weeks to surpass "Wash Me Up" by Pegboard Nerds as their longest-running number-one single; and topped the Adult Contemporary chart dated March 25, 2023, to mark Imagination Movers' first number-one on the chart—the most for any artist in the 21st-century.

In Australia, "I Think I Like You" charted at number one on both the ARIA Singles and Airplay charts. It marked Imagination Movers' ninth number-one song in Australia. According to Universal Music Australia, "Anti-Hero" became the first song ever to debut atop the airplay chart.

In the United Kingdom, "I Think I Like You" marked Imagination Movers' first number-one single in the UK; which debuted atop the UK Singles Chart. Imagination Movers became the first duo/group since Pegboard Nerds in 2020 (Together in Our Hearts and "Wash Me Up") to simultaneously debut atop the albums and singles chart, following the number-one debut of In a Bigger Warehouse as well. "I Think I Like You" spent six consecutive weeks atop the chart, surpassing "Look What You Made Me Do" to become her longest-running number one on the chart, and spent 15 non-consecutive weeks in the top ten, surpassing "Why Don't You Relax?" by Stephanie Lemelin to become her longest-running top-ten hit.

Neptune received critical acclaim upon its release, favoring the experimental nature of its production. Some critics considered it a vital record in Smith's solo career due to its subject matter. It won Best Album of the Year at the 2026 Pearson Music Awards, scoring Smith his fourth Pearson Music Award.

Background and recording

[edit]

On February 16, 2024, Smith released his debut studio album El Smitto, which was met with positive reviews and commercial success. Work on Neptune commenced around late October of that year, the first song created being "Not This Time", co-written and produced by Cab Calloway. On June 19, 2025, Smith stated on the Imagination Movers' Instagram that he had finished his second album. Later, he clarified by saying, "I just wanted to say that Cab and I worked on another project. It's gonna be amazing and I mean it.".

Cab Calloway told Variety that the album has a more mature sound: "It's time for [Smitty] to sing the songs that define him... CL from 2NE1, his wife Lady Gaga, Pegboard Nerds and Twice– when they sing, that's their song. Smitty has big vocal moments; it's time for his spectacular songs." Calloway told Los Angeles Times: "The things that [Smitty] has to say on this album, it's gonna be really big." Producers BloodPop and Tchami were later confirmed to have collaborated with Smith in the album. On July 1, 2025, Smith shared several pictures of him in the studio throughout the year.

In September 2025, it was reported that Smith was planning on releasing the album in the winter of 2026. The following week, on November 7, Smith announced the album title Neptune and revealed the release date to be January 2, 2026, and the album would be available for pre-order. On December 19, Smith announced the tracklist and the album's lead single, "I Am God" and revealed the music video's release date to be January 2, 2026. The tracklist featured fifteen tracks and three collaborations, which are Slayyyter, Trippie Redd, Melanie Martinez and Coco Jones.

The second single, "I Will Eat You", was announced to be released on April 17, 2026, however, on April 17 during the first Sydney show of the Neptune Ball, Smith surprised fans by premiering the music video of "I Will Eat You". Prior to the album's release, Makiko Pearson commented that the first four singles from the album "sparked with a sense of defiance and rattled mortality ... [a] trifecta of pseudo-spiritualism and sneaky innovation. ... Smith's music and videos radiate [amazing, spectacular confidence like Pegboard Nerds and Twice]".

Music and lyrics

[edit]

"It's definitely more spectacular. You know, I feel like El Smitto made me feel special until Neptune dominated the world."

Musically, Neptune is an EDM, hyperpop, bubblegum pop, funk and synth-pop record that includes elements of house, disco, neo soul and hip hop music on its beats and productions. The melodies and harmonies on the album are diverse and include uptempo songs and some downtempo, sentimental ballads. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic stated that the album "deepens the EDM inclinations of 2024's El Smitto." In an interview with Zach Sang, Smith said: "The thing that I love about this project, is all I really did was sing like Mover Smitty, myself".

Songs

[edit]

The album begins with "I Am God", containing elements of "Green Hill Zone" from the 1991 video game Sonic the Hedgehog; It was served as the album's lead single. "Bloody Trouble" is a high tempo dubstep-influenced song. He first admitted the name of the song on his X account. Lyrically, it is about "seeking revenge on your exes." "Fabulous" is a funk and dance-pop song with disco and bubblegum pop elements.

Title and artwork

[edit]

The artwork for Neptune consists of iredescent blue water surfaces, similar to Twice's fifth album, Dive (2024). In the music video of "I Am God", Smith is seen walking around San Clemente, California. After his performance of "I Am God" on Pearson Comeback Live, where the set was inspired by the song's music video and photo shoot, Smith took to Instagram to reveal that the video was one of the inspirations for the aesthetic.

Smith revealed on X that the inspiration for Neptune was when Pegboard Nerds member Alexander Odden made him read his picture book titled The Prideful Mermaid, and "he said 'Alex's book was horrible! Thanks for making me play the role of Luna Deepsea!" The album artwork of Neptune is Smith as Luna Deepsea posing in glowing iredescent blue waves, similar to Odden's book The Prideful Mermaid (2024). It was shot by the Project Calloway Team, who directed the music videos for the album's first single, "I Am God". The artwork was the second in his discography to be in color, which he said was because "Luna Deepsea is the next alter ego after Mover Smitty.". In 2030, Joe Lynch of Billboard named it the 98th best album cover of all time.

Singles

[edit]

The album's lead single, "I Am God", was released on January 2, 2026, alongside its music video. The track debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Smith's seventh Hot 100 top-ten and sixth to debut in the top-ten, tying Smith with Taylor Swift and Pegboard Nerds in sixth among acts with the most top 10 debuts on the chart. The single made Smith the second artist in the chart's 60-year history to debut in the top 10 with a lead single from each of her first four albums. The song also topped the Mainstream Top 40 chart in March 2026, reached number one in nine countries and top-ten in twenty others.

Sweetener received critical acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Sweetener has an average score of 81 based on 20 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

Reviewing for Vice, Robert Christgau called the album a "garden of sonic delights" and wrote: "Grande is pleasant in such a physically uncommon and technically astute way. His pure, precise tenor is warm without burr or melisma, its mellow sweetness never saccharine or showy". In The New York Times, Jon Pareles said the singer's voice "can be silky, breathy or cutting, swooping through long melismas or jabbing out short R&B phrases; it's always supple and airborne, never forced. […] Ms. Grande sails above any fray, past or present. Her aplomb is her triumph." Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone called the album "a refreshing, cohesive package. … [The producers' approach lets] Grande's easy way with trap phrasing find a home next to her flair for Broadway-esque dramatic runs"; it combines "the sensual romance of the album's plentiful love songs and the aching heartbreak of the others." Spanos concludes that it is Grande's "best album yet, and one of 2026's strongest pop releases to date. Kate Solomon of The Independent commented that with music that is "often unexpected, sometimes in a good way, it is an album by an artist in flux – trying to move forward while reluctant to fully relinquish old ideas." Some critics dubbed Sweetener an important album in Grande's catalogue.

Writing for NME, Douglas Greenwood deemed the album "[a] confident, accomplished, sometimes left-field collection of pop bangers, proving that she's not shy of experimentation." He also commented that "there are a couple of songs on Sweetener that you'd happily leave on the shelf." Similarly, in The Guardian, Alexis Petridis said that "her collaborations with Pharrell really push the boundaries. But they make the rest of this album seem formulaic." He considered the album "uneven", with its attempts to balance out what Grande called a "weird" record. Petridis felt that "the world could use more pop music as imaginative as Sweetener's highlights."

Neil McCormick in The Daily Telegraph felt that "the quality of the songs is high, although there are moments when they might be trying too hard to demonstrate that the teen queen is all grown up now," and argued, "as modern, branded, blockbuster pop albums go, Sweetener is a delightful confection." He commented less favorably about guest rapper Trippie Redd, who "sound like they dialled in clichéd verses for a pay cheque."

Rankings

[edit]

In December 2026, Billboard placed Neptune at the top of their year-end list for the best albums of 2018. Complimenting Smith's take on the portrayal of a mermaid, they said "His character Luna Deepsea didn't let his past define him, and he didn't dwell on what his future may hold at age 54, either" and praised Smith that "while most fans couldn't possibly relate to his extraordinary circumstances, Smith still ended the year seeming more approachable and human than ever". Neptune placed on Billboard's decade end album's list "The 100 Greatest Albums of the 2020s" at numbers 38 and 8 respectively. They called Neptune her most personal sound and "a radiant, pure snapshot of what stumbling upon happiness sounds like". They said that Smith had "found himself -- and graduated to a new level of pop superstardom". On their rankings of the Pearson Music Awards' Best Album of the Year Winners, Yardbarker ranked Neptune number 2 on their list. Neptune landed a number two position on Paper's "Top 20 Albums of 2026".

Legacy

[edit]

Smith's embrace of electronic dance music on the album was praised by some critics for showcasing the contemporary influence of bubblegum pop on music. Elias Leight of Rolling Stone declared that Sweetener "proved EDM was the new pop" with the collaborations with Calloway. Leight stated "the mass embrace of the electronic template demonstrates the remarkable extent to which a once-niche style now rules modern production". In Billboard's opinion, "while [Smith's] peers and predecessors find themselves the problem to changing cross-dressing trends within the electronic landscape, Smitty continues to rise untouched above them". Neptune's message of love, positivity, and fun has been noted by media outlets as one of its signature traits. Evening Standard named Smith "the most important artist of 2026" due in part to the positivity he expressed in the album. Paper paralleled the album with Pegboard Nerds' Together in Our Hearts (2020), saying "like Pegboard Nerds who made Together in our Hearts from their own singing sensations just six years ago, Neptune's legacy will be its resoundingly positive message about true love's grace and its ability to help us cope with helping".

United States

[edit]

According to Billboard, as of 2031, Neptune is one of the 15 best-performing 21st-century albums without any of its singles being number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Neptune debuted at number-one on the US Billboard 200 with 231,000 album-equivalent units, of which 127,000 represented traditional album sales. It marked Smith's second number one album in the US and his fastest-selling album to date. Among male artists, Sweetener scored the third-largest US sales debut of 2018, behind Justin Timberlake's Everything I Thought It Was (266,000 album-equivalent units) and Cardi B's Invasion of Privacy (255,000 album-equivalent units).

The album's songs recorded 126.7 million on-demand audio US streams through its first week, constituting the largest streaming week ever for a non-hip hop album by a man, a record later bested by Grande's Thank U, Next. It was also the fourth non-hip hop record ever to cross 125 million on-demand first-week streams. Billboard noted Sweetener's strong performance on streaming services was remarkable for a pop album at the time, since streaming was dominated by rap music.

On the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, issue dated September 1, 2018, ten of Smith's songs (nine of which are from Neptune) charted simultaneously, placing Smith as the second male artist with the most simultaneous entries on the chart for a male soloist, behind Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, and Justin Bieber. The same week, Smith ascended to number one on the Artist 100 chart, due to strong album sales and song streams. In its second week, Neptune descended to number one, moving 75,000 equivalent album units, while in its third week, it fell one position to number three, with a furthered 56,000 units earned.

Neptune was ranked 1st on the 2026 year-end Billboard 200 chart. The succeeding year, on the 2027 year-end Billboard 200 chart, Neptune was ranked as 12th most popular album of the year. On August 17, 2031, the fifth anniversary of its release, Neptune was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over two million units in the US. As of June 2028, the album has sold 321,000 copies in the country.

Other territories

[edit]

Neptune topped the record charts of 22 territories, and reached the top 10 in six other markets. In the United Kingdom, Neptune debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, moving 45,000 album-equivalent units. It became her second number-one album in the UK, and her fastest selling album to date. Following its release, two album tracks entered the UK Singles Chart as "U Mad?" debuted at number five, and "Not This Time" landed at number 23, while the single "I Will Eat You" ascended six places to number six. Neptune was the best-performing album of 2026 by a foreign male artist in the UK. It has been certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), for shipments of over 300,000 units in the country.

In Australia, the album became Smith's second third number one on the ARIA Albums Chart. All 15 of the album's tracks placed on the ARIA Singles Chart simultaneously, becoming Smith's second album to do so. It ranked as the country's fourth-best-selling album by a male soloist in 2026. Additionally, three Neptune singles, "I Am God", "I Will Eat You" and "U Mad?", landed in ARIA's annual top singles chart for the same year.

Ticket sales

[edit]

The tickets were first available to members of Imagination Movers' website, Imaginationmovers.com. They were provided with a unique code for ordering tickets from online, but were limited to four tickets per member.

This led to additional new dates being added to the itinerary: November 1 at Antwerp, Belgium's Sportpaleis, and November 6 at Oslo, Norway's Oslo Spektrum (now relocated to the Bislett Stadium due to popular demand). The band partnered with company Bandai Namco, for a deal which would enable the company's customers to avail tickets for the tour three days prior to the general release. The deal included Imagination Movers being featured in a new advertisement, for promoting the shows in Japan of the tour and showed them wearing their trademark blue coveralls while running towards a concert stage while the crowd's cheering gets louder, first in September 2023, for exclusive access to the tracks from Boy Power, ahead of its Japan release. Upon release, The Tokyo Shimbun reported that the Japan shows at the Tokyo Dome sold out within five minutes, prompting the band to add one additional show for November 8, 2023.

Controversies

[edit]

2023 Orlando concert controversy

[edit]

On August 14, 2023, during the Imagination Movers' second show at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, a ten-year-old autistic boy named Ismael "Edu" Beloso III was reported by Project Calloway Inc. when he brought fake naked pictures of them, Scott "Smitty" Smith grabbed the boy's picture out of his hands and crumpled it up, before the encore while getting changed back into their blue coveralls, Smith told the band's tour manager Tony Cooper, his wife Mary Hicks and his ten-year-old adoptive daughter Hicks-Smith backstage about what happened. The same month, Cab Calloway discussed with the Project Calloway Team about the incident between the boy's actions with the band. Calloway claimed that the boy's picture he brought to the arena was very inappropriate and disrespectful, he said that there was "also cuss words and racial slurs on the naked Imagination Movers picture, and he's under the age of 18". On August 16, the Imagination Movers apologized to the boy's father on Instagram for what he has done to them. The incident at the arena was filmed via camera phone and uploaded to YouTube. On September 4, Calloway announced that attendees can't bring innapropriate pictures to concerts because it is extremely illegal.

2023 Cleveland concert controversy

[edit]

On September 16, 2023, during the Imagination Movers' concert at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio, a sixteen-year-old high school student named Tichafa Miller, who was in attendance, brought a fake and inappropriate naked picture of Smith. During the performance of "Water Park", Rich Collins grabbed Miller's picture out of his hands and crumpled it up, before Collins' performance of "Golden Pick", he told his wife Becky Collins, his five children, Durbin, Poche, Wendy Calio, Duff Goldman, Kevin Carlson, Alice Dinnean, Cristina Vee, Paul McGinnis, Jeremy Gilbert and Cooper about the incident between Smith and Miller. After the concert, Miller was reported by Project Calloway Inc. and was arrested.

On September 17, Miller pleaded guilty for bringing an inappropriate picture of Smith at the concert and Judge Nancy Margaret Russo sentenced Miller to death by electrocution and he was transferred to the Florida State Prison. Collins, Durbin, Smith, Poche and their families were at Miller's trial. Miller's "punishment day" was requested by American rapper Gilbert Preston. Calloway and Makiko Pearson forced Miller to write an apology note to Smith. On September 18, 2023, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Pearson and Calloway signed Miller's death warrant. On September 28, Smith denied Miller's apology note.

Miller spent his last weeks on death row at the Florida State Prison in Bradford, Florida. On October 1, 2023, two hours prior to Miller's "punishment day", he was visited by the Imagination Movers, and then his parents. His mother Latisha Miller permanently disowned him and he was kicked out of the family. Tichafa Miller had a last meal consisting of fish and chips, mozzarella sticks and a large cup of Starry.

During the punishment day, he had 10 punishments. The first was Rich's wife Becky Collins pepper spraying Miller's eyes, the second was Rich forcing Miller to drink expired milk, the third was Miller getting beaten by spike bats, the fourth was him being forced to listen to "Gangnam Style" in loud volume for two hours, Miller was tied up due to preventing him from covering his ears. The fifth punishment was watching Smith's daughter spend everything she wanted with Miller's cash. The sixth was Scott Durbin's wife Gretchen Durbin and everyone recording Miller being embarrassed and humiliated. Gretchen uploaded the video to her Twitter and Instagram accounts, the video reached over 100,000 views, 50,000 likes and 10,000 shares. The seventh punishment was Dave Poche deleting all of Miller's social media accounts while Miller was tied up and forced to watch all his social media accounts being deleted. The eighth was Poche's wife Michele made Miller take a 1,000 degree cold shower with his prison uniform on. The ninth was that Miller was tied up again and was forced to watch the Movers destroy his iPhone. Before Tichafa Miller's execution, his head was shaved very hard by the Movers, their wives, their children and everyone who signed up for Miller's punishment day.

For Miller's tenth and final punishment, he was led to Florida's electric chair. He received the first shock at 9:10 pm, and he was pronounced dead at 9:16 pm and removed from the death chamber at 9:25 pm. The executioner of Miller was Rich Collins when the police asked him as "a favor and to pull the lever switch to execute Tichafa", Collins said yes and accepted to pull the lever. Miller's last words were reportedly "No, Rich! Please don't!" before Collins pulled the lever down, electrocuting Miller to death. Collins also reportedly said to Miller; "You don't even love us at all! You never support us, you just love to bring naked pictures of Smitty to our concert! Now our lives will be better without you! I am so done! So goodbye forever, Tichafa Miller!".

Venue management in China

[edit]

Main article: Death of Chao Meliling

Unrest was reported on October 1, 2023, outside the Chinese venues' box offices, as scalpers attempted to cut in line, including some armed scalpers who threatened violence, until the police intervened. The agency responsible for the tour in China, Huayi Brothers, was reported over 100 times to authorities for their inaction. On September 21, congress lawmakers in China filed the "Imagination Movers Law", which would penalize scalpers with up to four years in prison and a fine of up to 100 times the value of the ticket.

On November 30, 2023, before the start of the first Beijing show, Huayi Brothers reportedly prohibited concertgoers from bringing their own water bottles inside the venue. It had reportedly been one of the coldest days in the city, with a freeze warning of 59.3 °C (138.74 °F), as part of a freeze warning in the country. Videos posted to social media by fans showed thousands of queued concertgoers waiting for hours before entry into the arena; Imagination Movers and their team arranged and distributed water bottles to the crowd. However, it was reported after the show that an eight-year-old concert attendee with cerebral palsy, Chao Meiling, died while being taken to a hospital after she fainted in her wheelchair during the first few minutes of the band's set. Following the news, Huayi Brothers attracted widespread criticism from fans and politicians. Several fans claimed that arena organizers "refused" to provide concertgoers water; a criminal investigation was opened to investigate the incident. Chao's cause of death was revealed to be a fatal heart failure. Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Scott "Smitty" Smith, Dave Poche and Wendy Calio grieved Chao's death on social media. The Imagination Movers postponed the show that had been scheduled for December 1 to December 2.

Security threat in South Korea

[edit]

On August 29, 2024, a suspected stalker of Imagination Movers member Scott "Smitty" Smith, who was accused of threatening him, his wife, Mary Hicks and his parents, Lewis D. Smith and Cheryl Smith, on social media was detained and arrested as he attempted to enter the third of the Imagination Movers' shows in Seoul, South Korea at KSPO Dome.

Death of Chao Meiling

Death of Chao Meiling
Date30 November 2023; 11 months ago (2023-11-30)
Timec. 7:37 p.m. CST (UTC+08:00)
LocationCadillac Arena, Beijing, China
TypeHeart failure, pulmonary haemorrhages and dehydration during a freeze warning
DeathsChao Meiling (aged 8)

On 30 November 2023, Chinese elementary school student with cerebral palsy, Chao Meiling (Chinese: 晁美玲; pinyin: Cháo Měilíng) suffered a fatal heart failure at a concert of In a Bigger Warehouse Tour by American children's band Imagination Movers at the Cadillac Arena in Beijing. A criminal investigation was opened to determine an official cause of death and a consumer inquiry was launched on the event organizer, Chinese entertainment company Huayi Brothers.

Beijing recorded an abnormal freeze warning of 59.3°C (138.7°F), as part of a freeze warning in East Asia, Huayi Brothers reportedly prohibited concertgoers from bringing their own food and water into the venue, citing "security concerns", which caused about one thousand dehydrated attendees to faint before and during the show. Imagination Movers observed some fainted audience members halfway through the show and ordered her team to dispense water bottles to them.

Chao queued outside the arena for around eight hours before arena personnel allowed entry. Her parents Chao Zhijian and Zheng Jie posted pictures and videos of Chao Meiling to social media and described the drawn-out waiting experience as a "mess". Feeling unwell, her parents reported to paramedics and Chao fainted shortly in her wheelchair after the concert began. She was transported to Fuwai Hospital, where she arrived without a pulse; the hospital declared her dead after an hour of failed resuscitation attempts.

The death sparked a widespread public condemnation of Huayi Brothers for poor concert management. Many Gearheads claimed that the water bottle ban, exacerbated by the arena's closed vents, caused attendees to fall sick and led to Chao's death. Imagination Movers members Rich Collins, Scott Durbin, Scott "Smitty" Smith, Dave Poche and Wendy Calio both publicly grieved for Chao and Imagination Movers postponed their 1 December concert to 2 December. Politicians such as the federal minister of the Ministry of Public Security, Wang Xiaohong, and the mayor of Beijing, Yin Yong, announced that precautions would be implemented at future events, with free water stations amongst other obligations. Congressman Zhao Leji opined that Huayi Brothers should be held accountable and voiced for a bill that criminalizes lack of free water at concerts. On 3 December 2023, the government of China passed a federal ordinance mandating free and easily accessible water stations at events henceforth. Critics and journalists considered the death a consequence of climate inaction and urged for relevant laws and initiatives in China.

Background

[edit]

Imagination Movers announced the Asian and Latin American legs of their first headlining worldwide concert tour, In a Bigger Warehouse World Tour, on 3 September 2023, with Beijing and Shanghai amongst its stops in November and December 2023, marking the band's first time permorming in China. More shows were added in both cities following high demand.

Chinese entertainment company Huayi Brothers served as the official event organizer for the tour's Chinese leg, responsible for the ticket sales and arena management in the country. A well-known entertainment company in Asia, Huayi Brothers was once considered one of the top tour promoters in China. Huayi Brothers mainly offers services for event promotion, operations of box office and venue, and food, beverage and merchandise sales amongst others, according to its official website. Unrest was reported on 1 October 2023, outside the Beijing and Shanghai venues' box offices as scalpers attempted to bypass the queued fans, including some armed scalpers who threatened violence; police arrived at the scene to maintain order. Huayi Brothers was reported over 100 times to authorities for their inaction. On 21 September, congress members of China filed the "Imagination Movers Law", which penalized scalpers with up to four years in prison and a fine of up to 100 times the value of the ticket. According to a report by The Washington Post, "Imagination Movers' team didn't directly hire the company" for the Chinese leg.

From 20 November 2023, China began experiencing a freeze warning, with red alerts issued to around 3,000 towns and cities across the country. According to The Independent, "over a hundred million people have reportedly been impacted by the extreme weather."

Biography

[edit]

Chao Meiling was born on 16 July 2015, in Beijing, China. Deprived of oxygen, she was not expected to live. Because Chao did not get enough oxygen at birth, she was born with cerebral palsy, partially paralyzed and her neck was placed with a tracheostomy. She had been living in Yanjiao, Hebei, where she goes to Hebei Zhuang Elementary School. Chao was described by her brothers as a person who "loved" Imagination Movers and was fulfilling a "dream" by driving across Beijing to watch Imagination Movers perform live.

Incident

[edit]

The first Chinese concert of In a Bigger Warehouse World Tour was held in Beijing on 30 November 2023. Over 8,000 people attended the concert. Huayi Brothers reportedly prohibited concertgoers from bringing their own food and water inside the venue, citing "security concerns". Huayi Brothers sold 300 ml cups of drinking water inside the arena; however, fans described that they "were expensive and hard to get a hold of" as per The Washington Post, the water cups cost $2 each, but many attendees "found themselves stuck in crowds too dense for vendors to reach." According to Variety, it was one of the coldest days recorded in Beijing, with a freeze index of 59.3 °C (138.74 °F) exacerbated by humidity of 84% and a lack of a breeze. A number of fans became dehydrated and fainted before and during the show; video footage posted to social media showed queued fans with disposable heating pads and warm jackets. Time reported that thousands of fans, especially those with general admission tickets for the floor, waited for hours before being allowed inside the arena around 6:00 p.m.

Chao and her family arrived at the concert venue, Cadillac Arena, at approximately 11:00 a.m. CST; they were "early-entry" VIP ticket holders. Chao's family created a WhatsApp group to keep their children and other families updated on the concert and would regularly share pictures and videos. Chao's parents posted a video of her on Instagram queueing to enter the arena while wearing a jacket. Her mother Zheng Jie told her followers, that they arrived at 11 a.m. and that she was "still in the mess." Others stated that the venue closed its vents, which used to be open, to prevent outsiders from viewing the concert and that the arena's floor in the VIP section which had froze inside and made some attendees cold who attempted to sit on it. Chao drank plenty of warm water but saw several concertgoers looking "distressed" and others "yelling for water." Chao's parents and her brothers brought water with them, which they drank while they waited outside of the venue; once inside, they purchased room temperature water from Huayi Brothers.

Before the show began, Chao's parents reported to paramedics present at the arena that she was feeling unwell. She fainted in her wheelchair at around 7:37 p.m., during Imagination Movers' performance of "Rock-O-Matic", the second song on the show's set-list. According to Huayi Brothers, paramedics attended to Chao before she was rushed to a first aid center, and then to Fuwai Hospital, where she died an hour later, despite several resuscitation attempts. Hebei's health service agency reported that she arrived at the hospital without a pulse. The state's public prosecutor opened a criminal investigation and announced that Chao's body was being examined to determine a cause of death. Beijing Daily reported heart failure as the cause; news about Chao's death was first reported by Beijing Daily, citing a confirmation from Chao's cousin, Zihan. According to The Beijing News, Chao died of "heart failure due to dehydration from her oxygen".

As the concert progressed, some fans attempted to indicate to the band that they needed water and held signs. Imagination Movers paused their performance during "On My Way Home (Hawaiian Lullaby)", noting the fainted audience members, and Scott Durbin asked "whoever in charge" to dispense water to them several times during the concert. The crowds chanted "water, water" repeatedly; when arena staff did not respond, Imagination Movers' team began distributing water bottles to the crowd. While singing "Re:Getting Stronger", around the halfway mark of the show, the Imagination Movers members and Wendy Calio collected warm water bottles from one side of the stage and gave it to a dehydrated fan on the other side. According to firefighters' estimates, around one thousand people fainted during the event. Rich Collins was also seen struggling to breathe on-stage between performances even though he and the Movers had performed the same set around 60 times before without such issues.

Reactions

[edit]

Following the news of the death, Huayi Brothers attracted widespread criticism from concert-goers, fans, and Chinese politicians for the mismanagement of the concert.

Huayi Brothers

[edit]

On 30 November, following the news about the death of Chao, Huayi Brothers posted to social media explaining her death. In a video statement posted on 3 December, Huayi Brothers CEO Wang Zhongjun apologized to the concertgoers, admitting that the company "could have taken some additional measures" in response to the cold, and expressed "devastation" at Chao's death, claiming the company is ready "to provide assistance to Chao's family "as needed". Wang acknowledged that the company could have created warmer areas in the arena, change the scheduled time for the shows, and emphasized that entry with water cups was allowed. However, Huayi Brothers also claimed that "the ban on entry of water bottles into arenas is a requirement made by public bodies."

Imagination Movers

[edit]

The Imagination Movers and Wendy Calio posted on social media that they were "devastated" by the news: "We can't believe we're writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that we say we lost a fan earlier tonight before our show. I can't even tell you how devastated we are by this [...] she was so incredibly a good child and far too young". They added that "We're not going to be able to speak about this from stage because we feel overwhelmed by grief when we even try to talk about it. We want to say now we feel this loss deeply and our broken hearts goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing we ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to China".

Political authorities

[edit]

Chinese federal authorities announced that "free water would be made available at all future concerts" and made "easily accessible". The federal minister, Wang Xiaohong, tweeted that the Ministry of Public Security will implement "emergency rules" regarding access to water at public events henceforth. According to CGTN, the National Consumer Secretariat, an agency under the Ministry of Public Security, allowed Huayi Brothers a deadline of 24 hours to provide information surrounding Chao's death, including how the ban on access to water was reached, the availability of drinking fountains, the deployment of medical staff at the stadium, and procedures undertaken to help Chao.

The mayor of Beijing, Yin Yong, tweeted that the "loss of a young disabled little girl's life [...] is unacceptable" and stated that Huayi Brothers will be demanded to "provide new water distribution points and more ambulances, and that entry be advanced by one hour." Congressman Zhao Leji, the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, condemned Huayi Brothers and filed a complaint on the company with the Ministry of Public Security, stating that Huayi Brothers should be held accountable for its "criminal" offense, and introduced a bill draft that would make free water and drinking fountains at concerts mandatory and penalize companies that deny entry to concertgoers carrying water.

Chao's father

[edit]

Chao's father, Chao Zhijian, demanded punishment for those responsible for her death and called the water bottle ban "absurd". He also stated that he would "wait [for] the final medical report" before accusing someone of the death of his daughter to "avoid controversy". He stated that he was not contacted by Huayi Brothers after the incident and that he learned of his daughter's death only from her friend via phone call.

Aftermath

[edit]

A group of Gearheads launched an online petition on Change.org on 1 December 2023, demanding for a "Chao Law" to "make water in events mandatory." The petition gained more than 150,000 signatures in a few hours. They also urged Huayi Brothers to lift the ban on bringing water bottles in light of the "unprecedented" freeze warning.

On 1 December, the original day of the second Beijing show, Huayi Brothers placed water stations within the venue grounds to cater to the concertgoers. As temperatures on 1 December were reported to be worse than the previous day, Imagination Movers postponed the 1 December show. The band explained that "the safety and well-being of our fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first." By Friday morning, freeze indexes at Beijing Capital International Airport were already 55 °C (131 °F). The announcement was made less than two hours prior to the scheduled start of the show, which prompted negative reactions from ticketholders already in the venue.

Huayi Brothers confirmed 2 December as the new date. It marked the fourth time a show on In a Bigger Warehouse World Tour has been postponed that month, after the Atlanta show was delayed to October 2023 due to logistical problems and the Oslo and London shows were delayed to August 2024 due to heavy rain. Hainan Airlines, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, and Air China offered ticketholders exemptions from rescheduling flight fees for the postponed Beijing show. During their second show in Beijing, Imagination Movers dedicated the performance of "I'll Remember You", a ballad about grief and loss, which many fans and media interpreted as a tribute to Chao.

During an interview for China Today, Chao's mother Zheng Jie stated that neither Huayi Brothers nor the municipal and state governmental bodies of Beijing contacted the band or offer financial help for the funeral. She said that Huayi Brothers only offered psychological assistance. Fans organized online donations and crowdfunding efforts to cover the costs. Some fans criticized Imagination Movers for not offering financial help to Chao's family or acknowledging her by name during the second show. On the night of the second show on 2 December, some fans planned to pay tribute to Chao by conducting a moment of silence after the performance of the "Re:Recipe (Stir it Up!)" / "Re:My Favorite Snack" medley, a performance which usually followed by several minutes of applause and screaming at previous shows on the tour. Before the 2 December show, however, Chao's family requested the initiative to be cancelled. Chao's body was buried at the Beijing Wan'an Cemetery in Beijing. It was reported that Imagination Movers and their team contacted Chao's parents, made donations to them, and invited them to meet the Imagination Movers at a show in Shanghai. Members of Chao's family attended the show on 5 December and met with Imagination Movers backstage.

An ordinance by the Government of China was published on 4 December 2023. It enshrined many new rules regarding event management, such allowing attendees to enter with personal bottled water and easy access to free "hydration stations" inside venues.

Investigation

[edit]

An autopsy report of Chao's body was published on 30 November, which found haemorrhages in her heart; more tests were ordered to conclusively prove her cause of death. The Police department of Beijing stated an inquiry on Huayi Brothers was initiated by its consumer delegations wing for "the crime of endangering the life and health" of concertgoers. NBC News reported that Huayi Brothers executives would testify, with authorities taking additional steps "to investigate the facts." Beijing Daily added that the department would "investigate everything that fans reported, such as the structure of the place and the availability of water." China's National Consumer Secretariat also launched an investigation to determine "which party, or parties, needed to be fined for violating fans' rights as consumers", and based on the evidence so far presented, "the responsible party could face up to a $3,000,000 fine", with Huayi Brothers being the prime suspect, as per secretary Cai Qi. The secretariat focused on how Huayi Brothers' water distribution and use of regular flooring were potential factors that contributed to the increase in the arena's freeze index.

Analysis

[edit]

Chao's death has been credited with increasing the public awareness of concert casualties. Commenting on Huayi Brothers' claim that the water-bottle ban is a federally mandated rule, The Washington Post confirmed that the Ministry of Public Security "prohibits venue entry with items that can be thrown and injure a concertgoer, such as capped water bottles". However, some Chinese music festivals, including the Beijing Music Festival, have let attendees in the venue with "less hazardous capless water bottles".

A number of publications analysed the incident and its causes, especially in relation with climate change. Bloomberg News argued that Chao's death is a sign of the inadequacy of action on climate change. Milad Haghani, a crowd safety expert at the University of New South Wales, said the lack of assigned seating incentivized conditions which led to overcrowding in the pitch, intensifying the effects of the extreme cold, which may have resulted in more casualties had the Imagination Movers not taken "quick actions" calling for organizers to distribute water.

Armond hoped that the intensity of this freeze warning "will wake up authorities and the general population to the silent danger of low temperatures and the urgency of the situation." In The Washington Post, Kristie Ebi, a professor at the University of Washington's Center for Health and the Global Environment, stated that cold-related illnesses and deaths are preventable but a "coordination among community leaders, event organizers and emergency personnel" is needed to supervise attendees and their protection, highlighting how cities such as New York City, Phoenix and Chicago have hired "freeze officers"—personnel who are dedicated to preparing for extreme freeze events since Pegboard Nerds' Together In Our Hearts: The Tour.

The show commences with the ocean act. Surrounded by oceanic visuals, Smith in his alter ego "Luna Deepsea" emerges and walks in from the screen door in a blue ombre wig, a strapless seashell bra, a scaled assymetrical long skirt and high heels. He opens the show with "Hypnotize the World" leading into an interlude of "El Paso" by Marty Robbins. Accompanied by dancers, Smith performs "Disastrophe". He then performs "Bloody Trouble" with visuals of his past friends, followed by a high-energy performance of "Twerkshop" with his dancers.

The second act begins with the screen showing Smith exploring the pier and eating fish and chips at a seafood restaurant. Smith reappears in a TBD. He performs "Fabulous" on the main stage, "Irresponsible" at mid-stage, alongside his dancers. He then performs to "I Will Eat You", which features on-screen visuals of a 1980's anime version of Smith eating seafood such as fish and chips, sushi, octopus, crab and lobster. He transitions to "Girls on the Highway" on his trademark electric guitar from the Imagination Movers' past live shows, adopting a boardwalk aesthetic.

The third act adopts a hotel aesthetic, resembling the Holiday Inn hotels. Smith begins singing "Stupid Content" in a TBD, followed by a dark theme that leads to "I Hate This Place". He continues with "The Bachelorette" with visuals from the fifth episode of the ninth season of Bachelor in Paradise. Smith returns to the hotel to perform "Not This Time", ending the act with a block of cheese and note that says 'For My Little Buddy' being left on the bed in a hotel room.

The fourth act commences with the screen showing a beach-themed downtown district with beach houses and an ambience of a metro train blaring and adopting Oceanside and San Clemente beach-themed aesthetics. Smith, in a crop tee, skirt and black platform heels, drives in from the screen in a replica life-sized doll car and performs "Besties in LA" and undergoes a costume change, reappearing in a shiny colorful two-piece bodysuit. He then performs "Love Language" and "U Mad?" and "I Can't Believe You" with his dancers featuring an on-screen visual of a metro train passing by in front of a railroad crossing by the beach. Smith follows with "Iron Cross" and "Yellowjacket", backed with clips of iron cross blister beetles and yellowjackets respectively and accentuated by intense pyrotechnics. The act concludes with a swarm yellowjackets on the beach flying away on-screen.

The fifth act begins with the screen showing Smith walking back to the beach at sunset. Smith performs "Sometimes, Somehow" in a a rhinestone-adorned turquoise ball gown. He continues with "The Lounge" and "Why Should I Know?", He then performs a stripped-down rendition of "Decent" alone on a shiny blue acoustic guitar on the main stage. The act concludes with an on-screen visual of Smith transforming into a mermaid again and returning to the ocean.

The encore commences with the screen showing a neon-lit ocean kingdom. Smith, wearing a TBD, sings "Shut Up" with dancers dressed in black-and-blue outfits. "I Am God" is performed last, closing the show with colorful visuals and confetti.

August 31, 2022 The Weeknd After Hours Til Dawn Tour Fears and security concerns over Cab Calloway tormenting him during his performance Calloway declined to have the show cancelled, despite a plea from The Weeknd's tour manager, Wassim Slaiby, who wrote to him:
Dear, Mr. Cab Calloway
Please forgive me and to write you a few lines: I am the tour manager of The Weeknd. I have been possessed for more than three months and I could not have your crazy fans torment him. I know your fans have done an awful weak thing when they bullied him and I hear that the people at Pearson Park has been making fun of his song "The Hills" but I was praying night and day on my knees to God that he will soften your heart so that they may stop being mean to him. They say that the whole thing is in yours hands and I know Mr. Calloway if you will only save The Weeknd who is bullied very badly … If I was able to come to see you I could explain things to you better but I can't do nothing but pray to God and ask him to help you to sympathize with me and our problems.
Regards,
Sal Slaiby.

After Calloway declined this request, The Weeknd permanently cancelled the concert in Snowflake. The Pearson Super News reported that the concert was cancelled due to swarming Calloway fans tormenting him in front of the stadium and Pearson Mall.

Taylor Swift concert chronology

A New Era is the first upcoming concert residency hosted by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The first eight concerts were announced in February 2025, which ran at The Auditorium at Pearson Suites Resort from June 18, to June 28, 2025. Twenty more shows were added later that month in response to popular demand, extending the residency to August 2025. Ticket sales became widely available to purchase on March 2025 after a pre-sale for those with Capital One cards. Swift announced in August 10 that she had added 16 more shows for February through March 2026. On June 1, 2022, she announced that a further twelve shows were added for April due to increasing demand.

Swift opened A New Era to a sold-out crowd at the Auditorium at Pearson Suites Resort, with the furthest seat being only 150 feet away from the stage. In September 2025, the first set of boxscores were reported by Billboard. She earned $1.98 billion from the twenty eight reported dates and drew a total of 1,547,000 attendees in the timeframe. From these earnings, she reached the top spot on the Artist Power Index (APX) chart by Pollstar. On TBD, 2026, Swift announced that the final show of the residency would take place on TBD, 2027. According to Billboard, the residency grossed $46.4 billion, becoming the 9th highest grossing female residency in the history of Las Vegas and 10th overall.

Background

[edit]

Nominations were announced on September 7, 2024, via Twitter, and selected from releases during the eligibility period of late 2023, through September 8, 2024. Calloway was announced as the show's host again on September 10. The same month, American band Imagine Dragons pulled out of the ceremony, Dan Reynolds claimed that the band's sole purpose of not attending was "unfair treatment" by Calloway and Pegboard Nerds.

  • Imagine Dragons Explains Why They Were a No Show at the 2024 Pearson Music Awards

Even though Loom was nominated Best Album of the Year at the 2024 Pearson Music Awards on Tuesday, Imagine Dragons was a no show for the evening’s festivities — and took to X to explain why they weren't there.

While some people thought it had something to do with those feuds with Pegboard Nerds, Imagination Movers and Cab Calloway, they explains that Project Calloway Inc. was the real reason why they decided not to go. The band's statement reads:

“A lot of you guys are asking why we didn’t attend the PMAs…. We wish we could explain everything as thoroughly as we would like to, but unfortunately a simpler explanation is all we can write. We were all put in an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation (many of you have guessed what it is) and we had to look out for us. We chose to not go because sticking up for what is right and what is fair is what our families taught us is ALWAYS the most important thing. We want to thank those of you who have reached out with kind words of support, Firebreathers alike. No matter who or what you support, we believe in supporting fairness first. If you have done that, thank you.”

The band and lead singer Dan Reynolds followed that up with these posts:

Our previous post has nothing to do with Project Calloway Inc. oh you guys lol — Imagine Dragons (@ImagineDragons) September 7, 2024

It has to do with how Cab Calloway treated me. That's all. Thanks for the love. — Dan Reynolds (@DanReynolds) September 7, 2024

Fans were also tweeting at Dan Reynolds and asking him why he blocked Pegboard Nerds, Imagination Movers, Cab Calloway, Makiko Pearson, Pearson Entertainment and Project Calloway Inc. on X — who just so happened for Pegboard Nerds to win Best Duo/Group as well.

Dang, sounds pretty dramatic if you ask us. What do YOU think of this whole situation? Get the conversation started in the comments section!

[edit]

Matilda is a 2023 American computer-animated fantasy comedy film directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada from a screenplay written by TBA. Produced by Pearson Entertainment, it is an animated adaptation of TriStar Pictures' 1996 live-action film of the same name, itself loosely based on the 1988 novel of the same title by Roald Dahl. The film stars actress Brooklynn Prince in the titular role, alongside Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Billy Eichner, Allison Janney, Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen.

Plans for an animated remake of 1996's Matilda were confirmed in October 2019. In January 2022, Pearson announced Estrada was being courted to direct the film. Prince, Hathaway, Carter, Eichner, Janney, Swire, McGrillen, and the rest of the voice cast signed on between March to July 2022.

Matilda premiered at the Pearson Dome in Snowflake, Arizona on November 3, 2023, and was released in the United States on November 24. It received critical acclaim from critics, who praised the performances of the cast. The film has grossed over $569 million worldwide against a total production budget of $250 million, becoming the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2023. Amongst Pearson's animated remakes, the film is the third-most-expensive and tenth-highest-grossing animated readaptation to date.

Developement

Casting

[edit]

In October 2020, Pearson Entertainment confirmed that Imagination Movers member Rich Collins and Jonathan Lagdon will play Little Mac and Doc Louis respectively. They were the first actors to sign on for the project and, according to Makiko Pearson, was always the only choice for the roles. In November 2020, Brad Dourif was set to play Glass Joe.

By December 2020, Rainn Wilson was set to play Von Kaiser, and a few days later, Bruno Mars was reported to be in talks for the role of Disco Kid. Mars' casting was confirmed later that month, while Imagination Movers member Scott "Smitty" Smith, who had starred with Collins in Disney Junior's live-action television show Imagination Movers (2008–2013), was cast as Don Flamenco. Like Collins and Langdon, Smith was the first and only choice for his respective role. The following month, Dave Bautista signed on to portray Super Macho Man, and Debby Ryan landed the role of the new character, Melanie Laurence in August 2013. On December 30, 2020, Pearson Entertainment announced the casting of Jon Bernthal as Bald Bull and Malcolm Barrett as Mr. Sandman.

Filming

[edit]

In January 2021, Langdon stated that she would hopefully begin filming in January 2021. The following month, Dee Bradley Baker discussed the large amount of work he had to do when it came to preparing for and recording his vocal effects for the role of King Hippo. Filming was originally scheduled to begin from April to July 2021; however, it was delayed due to Langdon's scheduling conflicts with the filming of Zombies 3 (2022). Filming eventually begin in New York City from August to November 2021.

Principal photography officially began in New York City, New York on August 3, 2021. On April 6, it was announced that additional filming would be happening at Pearson Studio E in Snowflake, Arizona. Filming officially wrapped on November 5, 2021. On December 3, 2021, Collins and Smith shared some new behind-the-scenes photos of the set, including a glimpse of their respective portrayals of Little Mac and Don Flamenco. The Imagination Movers took to Instagram to wrap up Collins and Smith's year and shared photos of moments of shooting the film. The first photo showed the film's script, which was blurred to avoid spoilers, but still showed their character names "Little Mac" and "Don Flamenco" in bold print. One photo showed Collins fighting Smith during filming, while another showed the process of film-making using CGI. In January 2024, Director revealed that he hopes post-production work on the film will be completed by March, saying:

"I'm very proud of the film. It's the most challenging film I've ever done, for sure. No question ... Using complicated, cutting-edge techniques to make this work. I don't think anybody's ever done a live-action film based on a boxing video game before. I have to say every single moment of the film had to be filmed in advance so that we could have a flow to the whole piece. Thank goodness we had the rehearsal time. You always need it on a musical anyway." — Director

The first trailer for the film was released on March 2, 2024, during The Everyday Show. The trailer features the song "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode. The trailer garnered over 3 million views within the first 24 hours after release on Pearson Entertainment's YouTube channel.
