The Ryan Tubridy Show **Mod: Read OP**

A shame that young Swift fans had to stand outside listening to the concert, whilst a 50yr old man got a ticket so he could be seen and get his name in the media.

But that's the way concerts and sporting events are now. Very hard for real fans to attend. And getting harder.

With Vogue Williams and Angela Scanlon filling in on Virgin for the next two weeks, I wonder will Q102 broadcast the show for London or use a local presenter.

Hurricane Swiftie landed on Irish shores this weekend much to delight of excited children, exhausted parents and expectant businesses.

I’ve been tracking this phenomenon since it made landfall in Scotland before making its way south to Liverpool and onto the concert crucible of London’s Wembley Stadium.

The Taylor effect is phenomenal as it brings hundreds of millions of euro to local business and government coffers.

With people like Tubs, it always comes down to money. Doesn't matter how good her music is. She could spend three hours belching into a microphone, but if it's generating revenue, it's good in his eyes. Of course, he'll want a slice of it in some way. He was there to promote himself. Has to maintain a presence in Irish media because his job in England is nearing its end.

Something a bit creepy about any lone adult man, (ie not accompanying his daughters/neice) dropping into a concert where the majority of attendees are young teenage girls. Taylor Swift not necessarily being the main attraction for some of that cohort.

In Tubridy’s mind he himself, of course is the main attraction and he’s certainly not trying to keep a low key presence in the audience.

Stadium full of love...

Die

Awh now. The man is a poor broadcaster. Not some super preadator lusting after underage girls.

The reason he was there, is to keep his proflie in Ireland up. And as Red Fred said to avoid any awkward questions while doing so.

Do you listen to the whole show now, B? Before you claimed it was just the “riffing” section you’d tune in to but has his move got you listening longer?

I see Graham Norton was at Taylor Swift too, looks like Ryan was in good company.

Dude, no one else listens to the show or listened to the old show.

Anyway, it’s fine, as long as you keep your posts within this forum you should be grand. That was the “mistake” Alzer made.

Both of them could even work out better with Irish audiences than Tubridy. They are younger and probably closer to the target age demographics of Virgin Radio and Q102/etc.

Seemingly a vox pop was done in uk recently by some radio TV magazine as regards all DJS.in uk .tubs was only heard of by 20 out of 5000 people ..says it all..

That's 0.4%.

Irish born and now living in the UK is 0.5%.

So he has little to no increased presence there over the past 6 months. He needs a tabloid scandal or something similar to up his profile.

Are you on something Bob? Personally I couldn't give two … as to who was at what … this type of celeb watching never really interested me … even from a begrudgers point of view … if that is what I am … you seem just as obsessed with the haters as they do with Tubs (if they really even are)… perhaps in the words of Ms Swift you might …  shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off, shake it off (hoo-hoo-hoo)…. because you know … haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate

there’s a poster on X uses this term a lot.
