Look what you made her do, Taylor.
After being called out as missing in action by fellow Democrats during last week’s election, where Democrats lost control of the House, and by some New York constituents as well, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leaped into action Tuesday night — over Taylor Swift.
The Queens-Bronx congresswoman called out Ticketmaster and Live Nation after Swift fans were left in tears by epic technical difficulties while trying to buy tickets for her upcoming US tour.
The Ticketmaster website appeared to crash or freeze as presale tickets for Swift’s 2023 52-date “The Era Tour” hit the market Tuesday, causing wait times of up to eight hours that ended in disappointment for hundreds of thousands of people.
