Thoughts on Look What You Made Me Do and the "Taylor Swift Tix" Program

On Friday, Taylor Swift unveiled her highly anticipated new single, Look What You Made Me Do. The single is taken from her upcoming 6th record titled reputation. The single has had mixed reviews, with more being negative than positive. People are saying Taylor has lost her mind. While that may be true, she has also been holding all this in for 10 years. Its not just Kimye. Its not just Calvin. It's all the criticism and hate she's gotten. She's fed up. And I don't blame her, man. Just because shes arguably the most popular musician of all time, doesn't mean shes not human. She has feelings like all of us. Some people hold it in and end their life (thinking about Chester Bennington). Others, go to counselors. Others will write poetry or songs. Taylor never wanted to be called "that bitch." Taylor never wanted to have sex with Kanye. She just wanted to make music people loved and related to. She didn't want drama. But she got dragged into it. And I can't help but feel bad for her. I agree, maybe she needs a little help, but people also need to stop hating her for no reason.

Now onto the Taylor Swift Tix program that many are calling a scam and why I say it isn't a scam.

Earlier this year, Ticketmaster started a new program called Ticket Master Verified Fan to stop scalpers and bots from getting tickets to high ticketed events. If you've even heard of Taylor, you know that her concerts are more than just concerts. And I think everyone needs to experience one to truly appreciate her art. Taylor's upcoming US tour is participating in this. She has took it further and instead of just posting on social media or listening to a song to get a place in line for tickets, you have the option to buy merch or her new cd to get a higher boost than the social events. Many people are calling this a scam because whoever has more money will get better tickets. That's not necessarily true. If all your friends register, you will be way up in line. Just as far as the merch buyers. So its not a scam because you don't NEED to buy merch to get good tickets. These are just the haters after her again. If you want tickets, register here. Get your friends to sign up, go see her live. It'll change your life.

Until Next Time, Alex
