“It goes without saying that I am very protective of my fans,” Swift wrote on social media a day after the disaster. “There are many reasons why people are having difficulty trying to get tickets and I’m trying to figure out how this situation can be improved going forward. I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we’ve asked them, many times, if they can handle this kind of demand and we’ve made sure they can. It’s really amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but what really pisses me off is a lot of them feeling like they had multiple bear attacks to get them.”
