Over 6 years ago Taylor was the cover of British Vogue and wrote one singular poem and she was essentially terrified of everything. Now she’s on top of the world and releasing a new album called The Tortured Poets Department. Full circle. I’m so proud.

I very quickly learned how to spell the word tortured … I did not know how to spell that word for 23 years and then in less than 3 hours yesterday I already have how to spell it ingrained in my brain

Wow I love Taylor swift so much it’s unreal

Someone teach me how to remember the name of this new album…. I literally cannot remember it but already love it

Bestie @taylorswift please come back home to tumblr we’ve missed you in our own little bubble and corner of the world

TAYLOR SWIFT

i’m pretty sure ticketmaster let bots purchase tickets but not actual fans

Spare MetLife tickets @taylorswift 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

maybe i'm just too involved in how the live music industry works but some of the "alternatives" you guys are coming up with on how taylor could have handle this better belong in a fantasy land and aren't realistic to how ticketmaster exploits artists just as much as buyers and gives them no options but to accept their terms unless they want to be blocked from touring

the verified fan program and boosts didn't work the same way they did last time during this tour because the reputation stadium tour saw a historical low amount of scalpers and resellers, many people in the industry praised taylor for this program and thought it to be the future of ticket selling. ticketmaster refused to run it for any other events after.

you'd think limiting scalpers would be a good thing, but turns out ticketmaster makes a business out of getting its own employees buy tickets to then resell at a higher price to make even more profit from fees, and when scalpers and resellers sell their tickets through TMs verified resell program they make twice the amount on transaction fees. taylor swift's verified fan program was killing its revenue, so it had to die.

ticketmaster exists to make their profit as high as possible without care for the experience for consumers and artists, and programs like that were cutting it by basically eliminating the resell market

sorry but i’m really confused by all of this, i’ve never tried to get tickets for a concert before btw.

why is everyone mad at taylor and her team, i thought it was ticketmaster and their enabling or resellers who fucked this up

ticketmaster is a HUGE part of the problem, but In my opinion, taylors team, and taylors tour promoter, could have worked to help ensure there were things in place to avoid this.

do a real boost system - we already proved our ability to watch taylor eat cookie dough during rep to earn boosts. We can watch music videos, stream her songs in special URL windows, etc. This would not cost fans a DIME, but it would help taylor, and it would help create a true fan tiered system like rep

fans with boosts get presale codes for the first presale at 10am tuesday.

Use shopping windows so the people with the most boosts get to go first, say 10a-Noon, then Noon-2pm, and so on

fans with no boosts but who get picked for presale get picked for a presale that starts on wednesday at 10am

then you have a general sale

this is a way that gives ALL fans an equal shot regardless of how much money they spend on albums, to boost their ability to get a top tier presale code/place in line. is this perfect? no. not everyone has time to do this. But is it better than a fuckin hunger games like today? yes.

TICKETMASTER will never do this on their own. TICKETMASTER is here to make money, they couldnt give a flying fuck if atw tmv even exists and dont care who buys the tickets, in fact they prefer scalpers to buy and resell so they make more money on the fees.

TAYLORS TOUR PROMOTER (who she hires) and HER TEAM (which she runs), would have to say to Ticketmaster , this is what we want to do to ensure MY REAL FANS WHO LOVE ME FOR 15 YEARS can get tickets more easily that joe schmo

this is not what occurred.

if i, a dumb nobody can think this up based on rep, surely people in the industry can think of it and do it. no one chose to. so, thats that.

really disappointed with how presale went today @taylorswift I get it you’re a businesswomen and you have to be but you need a system like you had for reputation to make sure that actual fans got tickets this time, myself and so many other people waited hours to only be offered tickets behind the stage. I’m extremely grateful and excited that I get to see you on tour but I’m disappointed

no but i really want to ask taylor who was literally afraid to play non singles at her tours because she didn't think people would know the words how she feels about this situation and why no one involved in this process didn't come up with a better plan for actual fans to be able to attend the ERAS tour...this tour is literally FOR fans who have been around since '06 or '08 or even 2016 ffs but instead it seems to have gone almost entirely to people who just like folklore like please make it make sense

afeathertakenbythewind

no like i get it. ticketmaster has a monopoly on this industry and they need to be fully dismantled and taylor herself can't do it. sure. but what happened to the rep boost system? why couldn't that work? and where was the transparency? if ticketmaster simply wouldn't let them provide a better experience for fans, tell us! tell us why! don't protect them? you know? like im sorry but SOMETHING else could have been done here. and it still could imo so i don't really want to shut up about this.

Miss taylor swift have I told you recently how damn proud I am of you and how EXCITED I am to spend a few nights next summer seeing you on tour

You Belong With Me always has and always will be one of the biggest bops ever but it hits even harder on a cold fall night driving around back roads with the music blasting the windows down and the heat on high

I have paper rings stuck in my head and it’s 11:40 I need to sleep but I also need to dance

This is my formal petition for taylor to release more of the making of midnjghts footage

Thinking about how we probably will get a midnights mayhem with me tonight but we also might not so do I risk it and stay up till midnight or get a good nights sleep but I know I’ll stay up till midnight because I’m so excited
