Yesterday (15 November) Ticketmaster crashed due to the "historically unprecedented demand" for Taylor Swift's The Eras tour tickets, and it was only the presale.

Presale tickets for Taylor Swift's The Eras tour went on sale yesterday (15 November), and Ticketmaster had issues accommodating millions of fans that wanted tickets, leading to the site crashing and leaving many fans frustrated.

Ticketmaster shared a statement to socials yesterday (15 November) addressing the situation, revealing that there was "historically unprecedented demand" for tickets, with "millions" showing up to the presale. Fans were still waiting in queues to access the presale, and Ticketmaster stated that "hundreds of thousands" of tickets had already been sold.

Swift announced The Eras tour at the start of the month. Currently, there's only US dates available with support from Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, Haim, MUNA, girl in red, Beabadoobee, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams and OWENN. She confirmed at the time that "international dates" will be "announced as soon as we can."

Last weekend Stormzy became a full Taylor Swift stan after meeting - and getting a selfie with - Taylor Swift at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Germany.
