Released by Capitol Records on September 22nd, the track, which is nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, is the first and only pop collaboration of 2022 to be certified Platinum and the third collaboration across all genres to reach this milestone.

After more than 2 million tickets were sold for Taylor Swift's 2023 Eras tour through Ticketmaster's Verified Fan presale on Tuesday, the ticketing company announced Thursday (11-17) that a planned general sale for all other customers has been canceled.

Ticketmaster stated that it was due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory.

While many fans were able to get tickets on Tuesday, others were left waiting in hours-long Ticketmaster queues that eventually either crashed or sold out. The company later issued a statement about "historically unprecedented demand."

The site was supposed to be opened up for 1.5 million verified Taylor Swift fans and instead had 14 million people hit the site — including bots.

Swift's last concert tour in 2018 sold a total of 2.8 million tickets across 53 global dates and became the highest-grossing U.S. tour of all time. Her upcoming tour features 52 shows in North America alone.

The Eras tour is set to kick off in March in Arizona, and will hit a number of cities across the U.S. before wrapping things up in Los Angeles in August.

More than 90% of the ticketing inventory is already gone, breaking the record Tuesday for the most tickets ever sold in a single day by a touring artist.

It's unclear how the remaining tickets will be distributed or sold.

TL;DR:

• After more than 2 million tickets were sold for Taylor Swift's 2023 Eras tour Ticketmaster announced Thursday (11-17) that a planned general sale for all other customers has been canceled.
• The site was supposed to be opened up for 1.5 million verified Taylor Swift fans and instead had 14 million people hit the site — including bots.

Taking his job quite seriously, he even broke into a freestyle rap in honor of the award show and later did a quick dance number with professional dancer and choreographer Witney Carson, his partner on Dancing With the Stars.

Brady also gave a tribute to Takeoff of the Migos who was tragically shot and killed in Houston earlier this month.

As far as awards go, Taylor Swift took home top honors, winning Artist of the Year, as well as Favorite Pop Album for Red (Taylor's Version), Favorite Music Video for "All Too Well: The Short Film" and several others.

Dove Cameron won the award for New Artist of the Year while Dan + Shay walked away with the nod for Favorite Country Duo or Group.

Ticketmaster was so overwhelmed on Tuesday (November 15th), that the Capital One presale for Taylor Swift's Era's Tour has been moved to Wednesday (November 16th).

The company tweeted, "There has been historically unprecedented demand with millions showing up to by tickets for the TaylorSwiftTix Presale," and added, "To provide a smooth experience for cardholders and address the historic demand for tickets, Capital One Cardholder Presale has been rescheduled to Wednesday, 11/16 at 2pm local venue time for all shows."

The increased traffic caused " intermittent issues with the site" and manyfans were stuck in a queue that didn't move for several hours.

Tuesday's presale was even pushed back to from 10am to 3pm for several West Coast dates.

The array of problems had Swifties tweeting that Ticketmaster is a monopoly that should be shut down.

One user wrote, "the crazy thing is that while ticketmaster has a monopoly on the entertainment industry and can do whatever the f**k they want… taylor is one of few artists with enough power and money to actually make them change which is why this is so disappointing"

Attorneys for Dua Lipa are asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit claiming she stole "Levitating's" hook from a little-known reggae track.

According to Billboard, lawyers say the allegations are "speculative," "vague" and supported by little real evidence.

Earlier this year, Artikal Sound System filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Lipa, claiming that the 2020 Future Nostalgia track rips off their 2017 song "Live Your Life."
