Taylor swift has released a statement about the ticket master fiasco:
“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,” Swift’s statement began. “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,” she continued, going on to express her frustration with Ticketmaster and Live Nation, though she did not mention either company by name.
“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,” Swift went on to say. “It's truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pi**es 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,” the 32-year-old concluded. “Thank you for wanting to be there. You have no idea how much that means.
