According to data, stateside songstress Taylor Swift is bigger than Oasis, with her Eras Tour being more popular than the band's UK comeback
Don't look back in anger, Gallagher brothers. Taylor Swift is officially bigger than Oasis mania. The nod for the Swifties is real and comes as the Mancunian band prepares for its epic comeback. Oasis' reunion tour begins on Friday, with 17 sold-out nights across the UK, ready to transport Britpop fans back to the nineties.
However, while excitement may be building ahead of the opening night in Cardiff, data has found that the American songstress still has the bigger pulling power. According to stats, TayTay's 2024 Eras Tour proved to be more popular than the upcoming Oasis gigs.
‌
Fans' total searches for Taylor Swift were one and a half times the number of views compared to Oasis. The findings were compiled by comparing ticket sales from the week of each respective act's general on-sale date.

And according to viagogo, they found that the Shake It Off songstress could have filled Wembley Stadium nine times more than Oasis based on global page views alone.
Despite the findings, it's clear Britpop is back. The company said: "Over the past few years, Britpop and guitar music fans have been treated to a long-overdue revival with era-defining bands like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, The Charlatans and Travis returning to the spotlight. Whether it's new music, reunion tours or festival headline sets, these icons have reignited the sound of the '90s."

Ahead of the Oasis reunion getting under way, the band's set list is thought to have been revealed. Oasis have already arrived in Cardiff to put together the finishing touches on their show and fans nearby are saying they know the setlist.
Earlier in the week, those close to the stadium heard Cigarettes and Alcohol blasting out of the stadium. They were also treated to hits, Some Might Say and F****n' In The Bushes. According to a fan on Reddit, the band are ready to play a lengthy 24 song setlist over two hours.
‌
The user said they had heard the rehearsal setlist. Giving fans a clue as to what may appear at the live shows, they claimed the setlist kicks off with an intro of F****n' in the Bushes, then Hello, Acquiesce, Morning Glory, followed by Some Might Say.
As they carried on to spill the apparent set list, fans were loving the thought the rumoured lineup. However, one tune has apparently not made the cut and left fans disappointed. One user said: "Crazy there's no Columbia but little by little got my stoked."
Another added: "No Columbia?" while a third commented: "I need to convince one of them of Columbia's importance."
Oasis are set to take to the stage at 8.15pm this Friday, marking their long awaited comeback. They will play for just over two hours before their first comeback show ends at a 10.30pm curfew.
