Taylor Swift speaks out after Ticketmaster fumbles tour ticket sales

Taylor Swift has addressed her fans after Ticketmaster seemed to bungle the sale of tickets to her upcoming Eras Tour.

"It goes without saying that I'm extremely protective of my fans," she wrote Nov. 18 on her Instagram story."It's really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse.There are a multitude of reasons why people had such a hard time trying to get tickets and I'm trying to figure out how this situation can be improved moving forward.

Finally, on Nov. 17, Ticketmaster tweeted that there would be no tickets sold to the general public originally scheduled for Nov. 18. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., wrote a public letter to Michael Rapino, the president and CEO of Ticketmaster’s parent company Live Nation Entertainment Inc., addressing “serious concerns about the state of competition in the ticketing industry and its harmful impact on consumers.”
