This study investigates how artists can create omnichannel experiences for their fans, using Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as a case study. The methodology adopted a cross-sectional analytical approach with both qualitative and quantitative components, combining a focus group and a structured questionnaire applied to a sample of 377 young people aged 15 to 29 in Samborondón, Ecuador. The objective was to define the dependence between emotions and the omnichannel experience, based on social media interaction and the sensory experience generated within the fan community. The results confirm that fans’ digital engagement depends significantly on the type of account and on community actions, such as bracelet exchanges and live streaming of concerts, which reinforce a sense of belonging. While digital engagement influences emotions, sensory elements of the concert—such as illuminated wristbands and surprise songs—have a stronger and more significant emotional impact. A positive and moderate correlation was found between digital engagement and the intensity of emotions, suggesting that digital channels amplify the concert experience. The study concludes that fans’ omnichannel experiences are constructed through a strategic integration of the digital and the sensory, with both domains being complementary in generating memorable and enduring experiences.

摘要

This study investigates how artists can create omnichannel experiences for their fans, using Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as a case study. The methodology adopted a cross-sectional analytical approach with both qualitative and quantitative components, combining a focus group and a structured questionnaire applied to a sample of 377 young people aged 15 to 29 in Samborondón, Ecuador. The objective was to define the dependence between emotions and the omnichannel experience, based on social media interaction and the sensory experience generated within the fan community. The results confirm that fans’ digital engagement depends significantly on the type of account and on community actions, such as bracelet exchanges and live streaming of concerts, which reinforce a sense of belonging. While digital engagement influences emotions, sensory elements of the concert—such as illuminated wristbands and surprise songs—have a stronger and more significant emotional impact. A positive and moderate correlation was found between digital engagement and the intensity of emotions, suggesting that digital channels amplify the concert experience. The study concludes that fans’ omnichannel experiences are constructed through a strategic integration of the digital and the sensory, with both domains being complementary in generating memorable and enduring experiences.
