Is there a bigger star in the world right now, in any industry, than Taylor Swift?
The pop star is absolutely taking the world by storm these days with her global Eras Tour, which is selling out multiple nights in cities all across the world.
Swift is so big right now that she reportedly turned down the Super Bowl halftime show for the second year running.
But make no bones about it, the 33-year-old is all about putting her fans first. Take, for instance, the statement she put out after a Ticketmaster fiasco denied a number of fans a chance to see her live in concert.
Taylor Swift releases statement regarding the Ticketmaster sale of her Eras Tour:
“It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.” pic.twitter.com/zrDWK8dIHg

“Well. It goes without saying that I’m extremely protective of my fans. We’ve been doing this for decades together and over the years, I’ve brought so many elements of my career in house. I’ve done this SPECIFICALLY to improve the quality of my fans’ experience by doing it myself with my team who care as much about my fans as I do. 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. I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could. It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.”
“And to those who didn’t get tickets, all I can say is that my hope is to provide more opportunities for us to all get together and sing these songs. Thank you for wanting to be there. You have no idea how much that means.”
