Taylor Swift has broken her silence about the chaos surrounding tickets for her upcoming trek, ‘The Eras Tour.’

And the songbird says the drama is “really p*ssing me off.”

Full story below…

With demand for the tour at an all-time high following the release of Swift’s record-breaking new album ‘Midnights,’ Ticketmaster rolled out a pre-verified system so as to accommodate the masses looking to snap up seats to the stadium trek.

In a unique move, 2 million tickets were reportedly put up for Tuesday’s pre-sale – a record high.

However, that sale and another helmed by Capital One were plagued by a litany of technical issues. Ticketmaster then went on cancel a scheduled general sale set for today (November 18). A statement from the platform read cited the axe as being “due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand.”

Fans took to social media in their thousands to bemoan the situation, with some claiming that some elusive tickets were being listed for over $20,000 on secondary market sites.

Reacting to the furor, Swift issued a statement moments ago.

It read in part:

“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. It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really p*isses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them.

“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.”
