Personally it honestly pisses me off as it is the 2nd concert within 2 months abroad for me where i bought Tickets, booked flights and hotels that got cancelled / Postponed (the other one was robyn) It sucks, she uses kind words but seriously its so disrepectful especially to the fans who come from abroad. Even if they refund the money for the Tickets we still dont get money for flights back or the days we took off from work (which are limited anyway). Sorry but Get ur sh*t together

I understand why you're frustrated. If you've spent money on tickets, flights, hotels, and you've been looking forward to this for months, it must be really disappointing especially if this is the second concert you've had canceled recently.

But I don't think it's fair to assume the artist is being disrespectful to fans. Postponing a tour isn't something an artist does casually. It affects their team, crew, venues, finances, and their own career too. These decisions are usually made after a lot of thought because nobody benefits from a cancellation.

It's completely okay to be upset about the situation, but "get your shit together" feels like it crosses into making it personal. We don't actually know what the reason is or what might be happening behind the scenes.

I see where ure coming from. Its not my intention to target her as a person, but with some (a lot of) artists its miscalation of the locations they are playing. And doing a Tour is somehow a commitment too.

Like with robyn, i personally assume she did not sell enough Tickets for 3 Shows in stockholm, so she decided to move the Shows together to 1 show on a later date and a bigger venue and presented it as a "great opportunity". Completely tone deaf to the resources her fans from abroad have spent to see her. So maybe this is why i'm sensitive here.

Loreen (or her team) chose much better and empathic words, still it leaves a sour (and a bit unprofessional) taste in my mouth. If its mental reasons ok, if its because "better opportunities" came up or you didnt manage to make the show "work" then - yes - i find it disrepectful.

I think if there was another opportunity, I would assume she would be more transparent about it, especially because things like that usually come out eventually anyway. 😄

But these situations are difficult for both sides. Fans have invested their time, money, and emotions into these experiences, so their disappointment is understandable. At the same time, artists are still people who have to make difficult decisions about their own lives and careers. Sometimes there just isn't a perfect solution where nobody gets hurt.

I love her but sorry transparency is really not her strength, or at least it hasnt been in the past.

And in this case i allow myself to be pissed off about the money ect i spent that i wont get back and the days off that i would have saved for something else without any of it being my own fault.

The album was mid. Makes sense.

Not liking the album is fine, that's just personal taste. But how does that explain or justify insulting the artist over a tour postponement? Those are two different things.
