It's Taylor Swift's Economy, and We're All Living in It
By Joseph Pisani
It’s simple Taylornomics: When Taylor Swift comes to town, Swifties go on a spending spree.
Her fans have been filling hotels, packing restaurants and crowding bars during Swift's 20-city Eras Tour in the U.S. Cities say the tour has helped them recover from the economic toll of the pandemic by bringing back tourists and their wallets.
The Eras Tour, which started in March and ends in the U.S. on Aug. 9, is on track to become the biggest in concert history, potentially grossing $1 billion. It's filling football stadiums that hold more than 70,000 people, and Swift is often staying in town for several days, giving local businesses time to soak up the Swiftie money.
To get fans in their stores, they're selling doughnuts with Swift’s face on them or concocting cocktails named after her songs. A museum in Nashville rushed out an exhibit of Swift's costumes to coincide with her performances there.
The tour also got a shout out from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, which said May was the city's strongest month for hotel revenue since the onset of the pandemic largely due to the Eras Tour.
"She is a powerful force," Julie Calvert, Visit Cincy's CEO, said of Swift. Calvert doesn't expect another concert to have the same impact. "It's just her," Calvert said. "She's got that magic."

拓展练习阅读理解
Re-purposing diapers to make building materials would reduce the amount of garbage that goes to a landfill. It could also make homes more affordable. Maybe giving used diapers a new use could help tackle both problems.
Building material—especially those that are used for strengthening structures — are often expensive. They’re often the biggest hurdle to making homes affordable. So researchers have previously investigated unusual materials that could save costs. These materials included many that would otherwise pile up as waste, such as fly ash.
“There is a big need in developing countries such as the Southeast Asian nation, Indonesia. There, demand for low-cost housing outstrips what’s available. The number of people in Indonesia’s cities has climbed by about 4 percent per year in the last 30 years. By 2025, more than two-thirds of Indonesians are expected to live in urban areas. Indonesia’s population boom is intensifying the demand for housing,” says Siswanti Zuraida, an environmental engineer in Indonesia.
“Despite the need for more affordable housing, there are significant problems that stand in the way of adopting diapers,” Zuraida says. Used diapers contain wood pulp, cotton and plastic, which are potentially useful building materials. Diapers plastic components would have to be separated from the organic fibers, a complicated recycling process currently available only in developed nations. And Indonesia’s building regulations restrict together-materials to bricks, wood, steel and concrete (which is used to hold bricks together) — materials that also bear a high cost in terms of carbon emissions.
But reusing diapers might not be that environmentally friendly, especially on a large scale. “It’s tricky to separate dirty diapers from waste and disinfect them. So it would take a lot of energy to recycle diapers. It’s maybe worthwhile to start thinking about ways to replace single-use diapers with something less frequently thrown away,” says Christof Schrofl, a chemist who works at Technische Universit t Dresden in Germany.
23.Which statement describes the idea of re-purposing diapers best
A.No pains, no gains. B.Waste not, want not.
C.Kill two birds with one stone. D.Great minds think alike.
24.What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2
A.Phase B.Barrier. C.Goal. D.Advantage.
25.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph
A.It is illegal to use diapers as building material in Indonesia.
B.Making building materials has little effect on climate warming.
C.The plastic components in diapers can make buildings stronger.
D.Developed countries have difficulty separating organic fibers on diapers.
26.What is Schrofl’s attitude towards reusing diapers
A.Indifferent B.Supportive. C.Admiring. D.Objective.

这是泰勒·斯威夫特经济效应,我们都身处其中
很简单,这就是泰勒经济学:每当泰勒·斯威夫特来到一座城市,她的粉丝们就会掀起一轮消费狂潮。
斯威夫特的世界巡回演唱会“时代之旅”(Eras Tour)在美国途经20个城市,所到之处,她的粉丝们订满了酒店,塞满了餐馆,挤爆了酒吧。这些城市都表示,这次巡回演唱会把游客及其钱包都吸引回来了,帮助城市从疫情造成的经济损失中恢复过来。
“时代之旅”巡演始于3月,在8月9日结束美国的场次。它有望成为音乐会历史上规模最大的巡回演出,预计总收入可达10亿美元。能容纳7万人以上的足球场场场爆满,而且斯威夫特通常会在演出城市停留数天,让当地企业有时间享受“霉粉”红利。
为了吸引粉丝到店,一些店家开始出售装饰有斯威夫特头像的甜甜圈,或是调制以她歌曲命名的鸡尾酒。纳什维尔的一个博物馆还急忙举办了一场斯威夫特服装展,来配合她在当地的演出。
这次巡演还得到了费城联邦储备银行的公开赞扬。该银行表示,今年五月是该市自疫情爆发以来酒店收入最丰厚的一个月,这在很大程度上得益于“时代之旅”。
在谈到斯威夫特时,辛辛那提旅游局的首席执行官朱莉·卡尔弗特(Julie Calvert)说:“她是有着巨大影响力的人物。”卡尔弗特不认为其他演唱会能够产生同样的影响。“这只有她才能做到,”卡尔弗特说,“她拥有那种魔力。”
