From musical tours to the top trending TV shows, Google Trends has released a list of what was searched for most in the Phoenix area in 2023. 2023 is coming to a close and it is always interesting to learn the top trending topics of the year. Google Trends has compiled a list of the Phoenix-area’s top trending searches of 2023.
Some are surprising, like Phoenix being the only area in the United States to have “lobster roll near me” as a top search. Some, not so much, like the top trending musical tour search being Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, which she opened in Glendale.
Here’s what Maricopa searched for most:
Musical tour
As we already mentioned, the top “tour” search for Phoenix was Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. Swift opened the world tour at State Farm Stadium in Glendale back on March 17.
The tour the first tour to cross the billion-dollar mark, according to Pollstar’s 2023 year-end charts.
Not only was Swift’s landmark Eras Tour the No. 1 tour both worldwide and in North America, but she also brought in a whopping $1.04 billion with 4.35 million tickets sold across 60 tour dates, the concert trade publication found.
Drake’s It’s All a Blue Tour was the second most searched in Maricopa and Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour came in at No. 3.
