Taylor Swift Achieves Epic Milestone Amid 'Eras' Tour and Ticketmaster Fiasco

Taylor Swift just reached an incredible milestone amid the saga of her "Eras" tour and Ticketmaster.

The singer-songwriter is regarded as one of the most talented artists of his time.

She has provided some of the biggest successes in recent years and even taken the globe by storm with her songs.

The "Never Getting Back Together" hitmaker continues to release albums from time to time and has now accomplished an amazing achievement on YouTube.

Taylor set a new record on the video-streaming platform by reaching 50 million subscribers, after previously taking all ten Billboard chart positions with her new album "Midnights."

Many people feel that this feat did not come easily because it is tough to gain a large number of subscribers on the site.

The official Twitter page of YouTube praised the event and applauded the "Lavender Haze" singer.

Taylor Swift has become the world's seventh singer to reach the 50 million subscriber mark on YouTube. Blackpink has 83 million YouTube subscribers, Bangtan TV, BTS' official YouTube channel, has 71.7 million, Justin Bieber has 70.5 million, Marshmello has 56 million, Eminem has 54.1 million, Ed Sheeran has 52.6 million, and Ariana Grande has 52 million.

While the "Anti Hero" singer is a global superstar, and when she releases an album, fans go crazy, she announced a tour coming up, with tickets going on sale on November 15.

However, it was a sad day for Swifties and anybody trying to get a ticket because Ticketmaster gave a comprehensive explanation of what caused the turmoil around the "Eras" tour tickets.

They stated that the public on-sale for the tour has been canceled due to "high demands" on the ticketing system and a shortage of residual inventory to match the demand.

They went on to praise Taylor, calling her an "unstoppable force who continues to set records," but said that 2 million fans were placed on a waiting list and 1.5 million were given the opportunity to purchase tickets when the sale began.

In short, they said, "historically, 40% of invited fans show up and buy tickets, and most purchase an average of 3 tickets."

They further explained, "However, this time the staggering number of bot attacks, as well as fans who didn't have invite codes, drove unprecedented traffic on our site, resulting in 3.5 billion total system requests - 4x our previous peak."

The "Eras" tour set a Ticketmaster record by selling over 2 million tickets for Taylor Swift's concerts in a single day - the most tickets ever sold for an artist in a single day.
