Thirteen years after her last French concert, the 34-year-old American returns to Paris from May 9th to 12th. From his first album in 2006 to today, deciphering a success that goes beyond all boundaries.

Who are you, Taylor Swift? Definitely the most powerful pop star, if the magazine is to be believed Forbes who, on April 3, included her in his ranking of billionaires, solely thanks to the proceeds from her music. First in the world for record sales as of 2020, she has accumulated more than 100 music awards. While the young woman is about to overthrow Paris, from May 9 to 12, with four concerts sold out since they went on sale, Taylor Swift still remains a mystery. It has long been said of her thirty-year-old that she was too American to hope to conquer the French public. That her music wouldn’t cross the border into the United States. But the facts are there: thirteen years after her last French concert, at the Zénith in Paris, what the magazine Time named personality of the year in 2023 will give four shows in the largest hall in Europe and in front of 150,000 people: Paris La Défense Arena.
