X-Factor’s Camila Cabello continues to open for Taylor Swift who is keeping the math easy by selling out 4 concerts. The ticket revenue from Philadelphia and Landover exceeds $23M. Taylor’s latest album may not have been as successful as some of her past albums, but she still has fans. Lots of them.
