I’m glad she made a statement as well. I am honestly surprised by it. I truly didn’t expect her to make one.
I like what she said. I think she waited an appropriate amount of time to release a statement. It wasn’t immediate, which gave her time to collect details, communicate with her team and lawyers and make sure she’s infringing on anything with Ticketmaster by saying anything specific. I know people were highly anticipating a statement from her, which the fast pace of the internet and social media conditions people for immediate information. But her statement didn’t feel “late” to me.
It also didn’t feel out-of-touch. Did she address everything, no. Some things she probably legally couldn’t address with repercussions. But I think she said enough in the moment to ease the fans a little. And I think she left it open-ended just enough to allow fans to know that this isn’t the end of the conversation, but she’s said what she can for the time being and we’ll hear more from her when she has more to share.

I and a lot of others are severely disappointed neither Taylor or Taylor Nation has said anything about this yet. I’m disappointed a little too. I’m hoping that Taylor and her team are trying to get more dates scheduled in order to increase the amount of tickets that can be sold. Not that this necessarily fixes the Ticketmaster system and their issues or the scalpers, but it drives down demand which should keep ticket prices lower. For the Fearless and Speak Now tours, she did way more shows than 51 in the US and still did international dates as well. So it wouldn’t be something completely new for her to do a higher number of shows. If she’s willing and able to for this tour, I hope she adds more US dates and does a decent amount international dates for the international fans.

Like these people are just being trolls at this point.

Literally same, have to be in the office on Friday so it will make it more difficult. I saw so many people say they specifically took time off work and school to do these presales only to walk away with nothing. It’s the stupid scalpers who are getting in ahead of everyone and buying everything. I think what I’ll do is keep checking back on the site over the next few weeks and see if anything opens up. I remember for rep tour there were still tickets available leading up to the show. They gradually release more so I think even if they all sell out, there might be more that get released as the date gets closer. That’s the little shred of hope that I have too, that maybe the general sale won’t be the very very last of the tickets. And surely the resell tickets have to go down in price eventually, right? I mean I saw a floor ticket priced for $30,000 yesterday on StubHub. Surely no one will pay those ridiculous prices and these asshat resellers will bring down their prices to actually sell their tickets and make money. Even the nosebleeds are listed for resell at $400+. And that’s ridiculous, let alone a floor seat for $30k. Idk who is worse, Ticketmaster or these resellers.

I’ve also seen a lot of people stating that during the main presale, people who didn’t have merch boosts from Taylor Nation or boosts from having Lover Fest tickets got through the queue in 30 minutes or less and secured tickets, but the people who had at least one of the boosts or both boosts waited hours to get through the queue.
So there’s a conspiracy that the boosts worked opposite of how they were supposed, like it was coded backwards and gave people without boosts spots toward the front of the queue.
I’m not typically a conspiracy theorists, but I personally fit this narrative. I had the merch boost and the Lover Fest boost.
But I’m not 100% on what the boosts were boosting. So it’s possible the boosts were supposed to help with getting verified from registering, but help with the actual presale. Idk. I thought the conspiracy was interesting.

I’m sorry Bogo, I didn’t have luck in the capital one presale either. I logged in at 1:50pm. Got in the queue a minute or two after 2pm but had 2,000+ ahead of me. Waited 25 minutes to finally get access to the seat map/list. Every ticket I tried gave me an error stating something along the lines of “sorry we could not process this request on this device”.
I had yesterday off, but unfortunately wasted hours for no tickets. I had to work today and was stuck at work trying so hard to still do my job and try to get tickets, but I couldn’t because of my “device”. I used my laptop yesterday since I was off, but since I was at work today, I had to use the mobile site on my phone. (Because if you search Taylor Swift in the Ticketmaster app, it says there are no events for this artist).
It all around sucks. I waited and waited yesterday because of the monstrosity that happened from Ticketmaster. Which caused them to push the capital one sale to a different day, or which it was more difficult for me to try for tickets. I really don’t have much hope, if any for the general sale on Friday. I also have to work Friday too, so that makes my chances worse.

Unfortunately, I did not score any tickets during the presale. After a couple of minutes of trying for "decent seats" I was trying for literally any seats (except the ones that are practically behind the stage) and I kept getting the message "another fan secured these first". I kept trying until they all ran out.
Floor seats were $750. The nose bleeds/highest section were in the $100-130 range. Floor seats were not justifiable for me with that price. And any seats almost behind the stage/screen weren't worth any price to me.
I'm not necessarily sad though because of the capital one presale. I believe that certain seats were kept unavailable for that presale, but I could be wrong about that. It won't hurt to try. Plus, for the capital one presale and general onsite, I can look at multiple shows and not be confined to one show like the verified presale. And worst scenario, resale tickets will always be available. I'm sure I can get those at a somewhat "resale reasonable" price.
Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

It’s definitely been a mess for sure! I’m only about ⅓ of the way through the queue…4hours in.
The capital one sale getting postponed is a big relief. It would’ve been impossible to get on that presale while still in the verified presale.

I got selected. But I’ve been in the queue for 30 minutes since the presale started and my progress isn’t even 25% of the way through. But I have a capital one card too. So I’ll try that later if I don’t have success now with the date that I got the presale code for.

I’m hoping the acoustic versions she mentioned are new and not just the Bite Me and Bois Lie acoustics we already know…especially if this is a digital-only release because those acoustic versions are easily available digitally without buying LSD.
I agree with who said Love Sux acoustic won’t be featured as that was an exclusive for Spotify.
It’s possible there’s more new songs than just I’m A Mess and Mercury In Retrograde and she just didn’t state that…either because she wants to keep some a surprise or because a tweet and can only be so many characters long. But I have low hope for that. I’m only expecting IAM and MIR.

not sure if it's for this thread, but I'll post it. I just thought of a Daydream song. Half of the song was already available before the release of UMS. And the fans chose Don't Tell Me as first single. And as a result, we don't have a full version of Daydream in excellent quality. Demi Lovato sang the Daydream song in 2008. She changed the lyrics a bit, but most of it sounds like Miranda's version, which released the song in 2010. So these two have heard Avril's full version of Daydream! Lucky ones! For the 20th anniversary of UMS we must hear Avril's version! How I hope so... unreleased from UMS is just my dream. WAIT WHAT? ? ? ? I didn’t know she let fans choose the first single. That’s so cool!!! Especially for some one like Avril on her second ever record. As sad as it is that we’ve never gotten to hear Avril’s version of Daydream in full, I feel like DTM was the better pick for the lead anyway. It represents the rest of the album better. Reminds me of when she also gave a snippet of a cleaner version of Wish You Were Here which she sang “yeah, yeah, yeah” in place of “damn, damn, damn” and asked if we wanted it for the radio version of the song. Obviously the fans moreso voted for the album version for radio play since we never got a full version of the “yeah” version.

On Taylor’s store, there’s now a version of the Moonstone Edition listed as “(Clean)”. So the standard version of the album appears to have explicit language in at least one song.

LinkTarget in the US has a sort of “deluxe” version of Midnights that’s they’re calling the Lavender Edition, available as a CD. It will have 3 bonus tracks: 1 of which is an additional song while the other 2 tracks are remixes. There is a Lavender Editon vinyl as well; however, it will not have the extra tracks. And this must be due to the standard edition track list already maxing out the space on the vinyl.

The intro of Shut Up reminds me of Bois Lie.
