Trying to Embrace the End of the Eras Tour
A little over two years ago, I fought Ticketmaster and was one of the very fortunate ones to score Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour tickets at face value. Unless you live under a boulder, you’re well aware how iconic the Eras Tour has become…but back then, when we bought the tickets we had NO IDEA what we were in for or what the Eras Tour would become.

It goes without saying that this is the most bizarre year any of us has ever lived through – and hopefully nothing of this sort will ever be repeated again. But for me, I’ve spent a good part of it trying to focus on all the good that has happened – we are all too well aware of just how shitty it…
