Taylor Swift is so insanely popular in the Twin Cities that she has booked three straight nights at Xcel Energy Center. Not just a pop singer anymore, Swift in the past year has been heralded as a shrewd businessperson, social media savant, artists’ rights advocate and titan of social justice who has enough personal mojo to push around the suits at Spotify and Apple. When Madonna comes to town in October, she’s going to have a heck of an act to follow.

Sept. 11-13, Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, 651-265-4800, xcelenergycenter.com
