This little article is more about season 8 but it in a way it's about season 5 as well, I've always said that although season 8 was great it didn't measure up to season 5 and this helps prove that. It's more so about the Idol Tour concert but Taylor is mentioned.

The eighth American Idols Live Tour featuring this year's winner, Kris Allen, is rolling through its North American schedule with totals from six markets reported this week. The best-attended performance was in Allen's home state of Arkansas at Little Rock's Verizon Arena (July 25) with 14,288 in attendance, the most from any venue on the tour. In the 19 shows reported this summer, ticket sales stand at 180,000 to date. The Idol tour that sold the most tickets was the 2006 venture featuring the series' fifth-season winner, Taylor Hicks. That tour grossed $35.2 million, with a total attendance of 646,996.
