      The article implies a very public failure of Ticketmaster in making tickets to her tour available is what sparked the investigation.

        Okay, so why not the head of Ticketmaster? Or the DoJ person? Swift is not involved in the case at any level, so.

        Why a picture of her and not the people actually involved? You know why. Or you should know why.

          You nailed it whether you meant to it not, it’s because none of those artists are relevant anymore. I say that as a fan.

          Even when they were at the height of their fame, they had a significantly smaller fan base than Swift does now and a fraction of the influence
