Taylor Swift Reveals Her Reputation US Tour Dates

Are you ready for it? Because the new Taylor is taking reputation on the road, and tickets are going to be extremely difficult to come by.

Entertainment Weekly reports that tickets to Swift's shows will be a part of Ticketmaster's Verified Fan scheme to prevent fraud and scalpers. In order to qualify for a fan pre-sale, fans will need to complete certain activities to prove to Ticketmaster that they're a real fan. This involves things like buying merch and record bundles, in order to "boost" fan's places in line for show tickets.

The program has received some criticism, as it rewards those with better financial means over lower-income fans. Consequence of Sound called it an "unscrupulous, ultra-capitalist campaign."

Also, there's a few things we can learn about the tour dates themselves. First, she's playing at Soldier Field in Chicago on 2nd June 2018, meaning she probably won't be headlining the Pitchfork Music Festival or Lollapalooza. Both of these festivals require their artists to abstain from playing shows in Chicago within a few months of the festival, a practice known in the industry as a radius clause — though we'd imagine they'd make an exception for Swift.

As for Coachella? Her tour schedule doesn't begin until 8th May, but the two-weekend festival in the desert takes place in April. So it is a possibility that she could be headlining Coachella, along with Beyoncé, who was supposed to be last year's headliner until she announced her pregnancy. Her 2018 headlining spot has already been confirmed. Bey is rumoured to be working on new music too, so we may have two queens in their own right playing the fest.
