No wonder One Direction was celebrating in their van the other day. They had just completed a very successful tour of South America where they played to almost 311K people in 7 sold-out concerts and earned $26.7M. Ka-ching! I think Simon Cowell is diving into his swimming pool full of money this morning.
In other news, Cassadee Pope opened for George Strait in Foxboro for another sold out concert. We have another report of Phillip Phillips opening for John Mayer. And Selena Gomez features a potpourri of reality singing competitors. She has X-Factors Emblem3 and Voice’s brand new third place finisher Christina Grimmie opening up for her even before Christina was on the show. They sold-out in Minneapolis.
