Could Taylor Swift be ‘dancing with her hands tied?’
The global attention surrounding Swift’s upcoming stadium tour has inspired conversations about the many behind-the-scenes intricacies rarely seen by music business listeners.
The “Glitch” singer announced his first tour in five years earlier this month. Excitement for Swift’s return to the stage was soon eclipsed by the increasing difficulty of getting tickets once they went on sale on Tuesday, November 15.
Almost immediately after ticket sales began, Swift’s determined fan base ‘Swifties’ began reporting Ticketmaster error messages and experiencing confusion due to a broken Ticketmaster queue.
Over the next few days, interest in Ticketmaster and its business practices began to increase. The outlet’s response to the chaos revolved around “Unprecedented Demand” for tickets per Twitter announcement.
The ‘unprecedented demand’ for tickets will also result in the cancellation of Friday’s “public sale”. Ticketmaster attributed “insufficient remaining ticket inventory” as a result of the claims which the store is now also calling “extremely high.”
The cancellation announcement came after several US lawmakers began asking about what was going on behind the scenes at Ticketmaster; Senator Amy Klobuchar wrote a letter to the CEO of Ticketmaster’s parent company, Live Nation, Michael Rapino, asking for more information behind the company’s practices and for Rapino’s perspective.
Klobuchar and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti are just two of the many big names who have spoken out about Ticketmaster and various aspects related to its role behind Swift’s tour.
What about Swift, herself?
As the conversation continued, both Swift and her team, Taylor Nation, seemed quiet.
The silence of the 32-year-old man did not go unnoticed by his fans. Countless Swifties have asked why Swift, who has maintained a strong relationship with her fans since her career began, and whose influence has been instrumental in bringing changes to Apple Music and Spotify in the past, has yet to speak out about the controversy surrounding her. brand.

The author of the letter also detailed that he has attended dates on every tour from Swift’s first tour to her most recent “Reputation” tour.
“I have never in these years experienced such a difficult and painful experience of buying a ticket. You have thousands of dedicated fans on social media, many of whom have been around since ‘debut’ who can’t get tickets due to failed Ticketmaster technology, inability to provide, and they favor scalpers,” he wrote.

One Tumblr user wrote, “how ticketmaster blames taylor swift for what happened??? “only two tour dates to cope with demand” like no, how about you shut up? I don’t think they understand the physical and mental effort it takes to perform what it takes to do almost every day for MONTHS”
Taylor Nation, Swift’s management team, also remained silent. Fans also called on Taylor Nation to acknowledge the issue on Twitter, many tweets revolving around the team’s promotion for the “Anti-Hero” remix, only available for a limited time.
“sometimes taylor nation needs to read the room and actually make a statement that doesn’t include stupid puns,” Swiftie tweeted. Taylor Nation has continued to tweet over the past 24 hours about various elements unrelated to Swift’s brand.
