Tengrinews.kz – A new trend, "Kazakhstan in Prime Era", has emerged on the social network Threads. The trend was sparked by the recent visits of global showbiz and sports stars to Kazakhstan, including Real Madrid, singer Jennifer Lopez, and other celebrities.
What is "Prime Era"?
The term "Prime Era" refers to a period of flourishing — when a person or a country is at the peak of success and in its best form. Similar expressions include:
Delulu Era — when a person is living in their dreams, slightly detached from reality;Rich Era — when everything is going well financially, and you can afford almost anything;Chill Era — when it's time to relax completely, with no stress.
The Trend
Kazakhstanis on Threads have been actively listing bright events from the past few months, concluding that the country is going through its "Prime Era".

Some joke that the only thing missing to complete the "Prime Era" feeling is Kazakhstan's debut at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Other users believe Kazakhstan is currently in a period of opportunity, gradually becoming more noticeable on the world stage, offering people more chances for self-realization. They also believe that the true "Prime Era" is yet to come, with its foundations being laid in technology, education, culture, and public life.
Global Stars in Kazakhstan
For context, pop diva Jennifer Lopez performed on August 1 at the "Astana Arena" stadium in the capital and on August 10 at the Central Stadium in Almaty. Her concerts were discussed for weeks, and a funny moment at the Almaty show — when a grasshopper appeared on stage — quickly went viral.
In September, the legendary Backstreet Boys performed their first concerts in Kazakhstan, in Astana and Almaty. Both shows gathered thousands of fans, and tickets sold out in advance. The band performed nearly all of their greatest hits, with fans noting the nostalgic atmosphere at the concerts.
On September 30, the historic match between Kairat and Real Madrid took place at Almaty's "Central Stadium". A large number of Kairat fans missed out on tickets, which sold out in just a few hours. The Kazakhstan club lost the match 5-0 to Real Madrid.
