By now we all know about the drama surrounding the pre-sales of Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour', but what we haven't fully realized is just how many Taylor Swift fans there are in the world.
What you do probably know about Taylor Swift fans is they truly are ride-or-die. Like the time they got into it with TOOL after the band dethroned Taylor from here #1 spot. Or the time they sent death threats to John Mayor after she alluded to his treatment of her in her song 'Red'.
The documentary on the takedown of Ticketmaster by rabid Taylor Swift fans is going to be so good.

But what you might not have known, is that former NASA astronaut and retired US Navy Captain, Scott Kelly counts himself among them. If that surprises you, you also should know that the President of Chile, Gabriel Boric is too a Swiftie.
And let this be a warning to those of you who have yet to incur the wrath of this rabid fanbase, do not get between a Swiftie and their Queen. As Ticketmaster learned today when they postponed tomorrow's public sale of her new tour.
Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow's public on-sale for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has been cancelled.

We aren't taking sides here, and in no way do we support the evil gremlins who run Ticketmaster, but damn if Scott Kelly wasn't going to have his voice heard.
Seriously? I tried the verified fan route and that didn’t work. Was planning on buying tickets tomorrow. What the hell? Swifties, rise up in protest! https://t.co/dHqcL2LMln

Congrats Ticketmaster, you've managed to piss off an astronaut. We hope you're proud of yourselves.
