Swift's blockbuster tour- her first in half a decade- began earlier this year and began generating headlines even earlier. Fans began encountering issues as soon as tickets first went on sale. Perspective buyers experienced hurdles while trying to buy from Ticketmaster including multiple crashes. The debacle would result in Swift's fanbase of 'Swifties' coming together to sue the ticket giant; Ticketmaster would later apologize. The "Better Than Revenge" singer would also speak out against Ticketmaster.

Just as they did before, Swifties are taking to social media to express their elation and air their grievances from their time fighting in the 'Great War!'
