I love the "steaming like a pot full of vegetables" reference.

oh wow, that fan dragged everyone AND their mothers... from Ticketmaster to Live Nation to Britney's family to .... the mafia? I'm kinda lost, to be honest. I'm sure there's something really going on, what's the surprise there, but I'm not quite sure what it is exactly as of right now. To me, it has always been the incredibly high ticket prices, and how there are so many exclusive sales before they are open for purchase for the general public that now actually buying a ticket and going to a concert seems like a miracle for just a lucky and rich few. Well, actually, the rich get invited for free (of all people), so there's that as well...

PS: Taylor Swift herself should be acting on this, not her fans. She's the kind of person who would throw a stone and then hide her hand.

Britney said she was FORCED to go on tour in 2018. Larry Rudolph's company merged with Live Nation (under Front Line Management a subsidiary of LN) in 2010. Thus, LN is directly complicit in B's labor trafficking. Probate court is too slow! The Department of Justice & congress now have PRESSURE to look into it. Plus, the Swifties' lawyer and I (& other fans) are collaborating now. Rally in LA on March 22nd in civil court, which is MUCH FASTER. Over 300 Swifties are suing Ticketmaster (owned by Live Nation)...

Is it funny because they give a platform to anyone to express their options?

As an American, even I find it funny how the reporter was like 'Taylor Swift fans are going through this, but is that whats happening to you Britney Spears fans too?' and she says 'Britney is on a work-strike' LOL ... that is funny to know that this whole conversation took place on a news segment. but this is FOX news, so.

People would not be spreading so many conspiracy theories if the media covered the truth! The media made fans feel guilty for not knowing about the abuse, but wouldn’t call out the 😛billion dollar corporations! NPR linked my entire press release😎 

 

One of those advocates, Melanie Carlson, has been researching the issue for years and alleges that Live Nation profited directly from Spears' conservatorship.

"It's shocking that she could perform for thousands of people and everyone in the industry knew about it, and yet no one said anything," Carlson told NPR in a Monday phone interview. "And that is the level of power that should be broken up. And that's our fight against Ticketmaster and Live Nation." 

Carlson has seen a number of fandoms take issue with Ticketmaster's practices over the years and has long been trying to unite them. And she isn't surprised that it took an artist of Swift's stature to finally do it — even as Carlson has seen disappointed Swifties widely mocked as "just privileged young women that need to get a life."
