Taylor Swift fans, or “Swifties,” went ballistic after Ticketmaster canceled upcoming ticket sales on Friday for the superstar singer’s upcoming tour.

“Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow’s public on-sale for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has been cancelled,” tweeted Ticketmaster on Thursday.

“The sudden cancellation comes after Ticketmaster said Thursday that more than two million tickets were sold Tuesday for her upcoming tour — the most ever sold for an artist in a single day. It caused a near meltdown of its website,” CNN reported.

Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand, tomorrow's public on-sale for Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour has been cancelled.

I am SOOOOO glad you're facing the wrath of Swifties and politicians that wanna appeal to them. Heat being put on Ticketmaster is satisfying, even though you'll charge me $37 in convenience fees to post this https://t.co/nQAOh3suve

I had to triple-check just to make sure this was actually Ticketmaster's verified account.

Swifties hopefully finishing what Pearl Jam started 🤝 https://t.co/fgdk7Zys5e

Feels like Ticketmaster shouldn't piss these people off if they want to maintain their monopoly on ticket sales… https://t.co/EtOmqagY0I

Trying to explain this one to my 9-year-old daughter (who has been asking me daily for ticket updates) is going to be a challenge. https://t.co/fAyvM4wG4L

Have no fear, Swifties, tickets to the tour are available on StubHub.
