Inspired by @idsb‘s mutual meetup spreadsheet for tour, we’re starting this resource early! There are many fans who, throughout this week (and coming months), will probably buy more tickets than they will end up needing. 

This spreadsheet is where fans can list tickets they want to sell to others within the fandom at face value, rather than putting back up for resale on Ticketmaster (and incurring a bunch more fees). The point of this spreadsheet is to connect folks – once you are connected, you can figure out the payment and transfer arrangements that suit both parties best. 

We will leave this spreadsheet live throughout tour, so if at first you don’t see what you need, check back and there may be more options later. 

Sellers: once your ticket is sold, it will be up to you to delete the row of your listing so that you don’t keep getting contacted about it. 

Excited to announce the lucky winners of our 5 tickets to Lover Fest West! If you’re curious about how we chose, we’ll drop that below.

WINNERS: You have until Sunday, December 29 at 8pm ET to DM @shedidntevenswear to claim your ONE ticket. Otherwise we will draw again.

Congrats!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

Guys - It’s been announced recently that the American Music Awards will be honoring me with the Artist of the Decade Award at this year’s ceremony. I’ve been planning to perform a medley of my hits throughout the decade on the show. Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun have now said that I’m not allowed to perform my old songs on television because they claim that would be re-recording my music before I’m allowed to next year. Additionally - and this isn’t the way I had planned on telling you this news - Netflix has created a documentary about my life for the past few years. Scott and Scooter have declined the use of my older music or performance footage for this project, even though there is no mention of either of them or Big Machine Records anywhere in the film.

Scott Borchetta told my team that they’ll allow me to use my music only if I do these things: If I agree to not re-record copycat versions of my songs next year (which is something I’m both legally allowed to do and looking forward to) and also told my team that I need to stop talking about him and Scooter Braun.

I feel very strongly that sharing what is happening to me could change the awareness level for other artists and potentially help them avoid a similar fate. The message being sent to me is very clear. Basically, be a good little girl and shut up. Or you’ll be punished.

This is WRONG. Neither of these men had a hand in the writing of those songs. They did nothing to create the relationship I have with my fans. So this is where I’m asking for your help.

Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this - I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote. I’m especially asking for help from The Carlyle Group, who put up money for the sale of my music to these two men.

I just want to be able to perform MY OWN music. That’s it. I’ve tried to work this out privately through my team but have not been able to resolve anything. Right now my performance at the AMA’s, the Netflix documentary and any other recorded events I am planning to play until November of 2020 are a question mark.

I love you guys and I thought you should know what’s been going on.
