The Justice Department wants to 'break up Live Nation.' Taylor Swift fans are ready for it.
After news broke that the Justice Department sued Ticketmaster’s parent company, Live Nation, some Taylor Swift said they felt like their mobilization efforts finally paid off.
Two years ago, many Taylor Swift fans launched an online campaign with one big goal: break up Ticketmaster.
After news broke that the Justice Department sued Ticketmaster’s parent company, Live Nation, some Swifties said they felt like their mobilization efforts paid off.
“It shows the power of bringing people together who have something in common, and it might not be what you would expect they have in common,” said Stephanie Aly, a writer and digital organizer in New York.
The 34-year-old was among the Swifties who banded together in 2022 to collect thousands of survey responses from fellow fans who shared negative similar experiences with Ticketmaster.
Swifties are "out there getting people to vote in the VMAs and buy albums on release day and all that kind of stuff,” Aly said. “So what if we could point that energy towards something that can make a bigger difference than just album sales?”
