Kanye West...why?
The Kanye West/Lady Gaga tour was coming up in December. I heard about this concert back in July and I knew I HAD to go. After talking to my parents, they gave me the OK and told me to go ahead and look at ticket prices. I also told some friends who I knew would be interested in going if they wanted to tag along. I had seen Kanye West live on my TV and his performance was incredible! I could not wait until December came around. Two days ago, my dad yelled, "Lauren, turn on the news!" I could not believe what I was hearing...the whole tour was canceled! "WHY?", I asked myself. Well about a month ago on the VMA's, Kanye had to give his opinion on how he felt about Taylor Swift winning an award over Beyonce. He was continually boo-ed throughout the evening and comments were being made about him all around the world that night. Although I lost alot of respect for him after he stole Taylor's spotlight, I couldn't hate him forever and it did not erase the fact that he is an amazing artist. This incident had alot to do with the cancellation of the tour. His manager felt that many people would not attend the show due to his mishap and they were not prepared to spend money on something that would not sell. Also Lady Gaga, made the statement that her and Kanye had artistic differences while planning the show so she decided to still continue on her own solo tour. Although I am highly upset that the tour is no more, I believe Kanye learned that you reap what you sow.
