Michigan lawmakers unite in ‘bad blood' against ticket bots in Taylor Swift inspired bills
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: Taylor Swift attends the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor The Recording Academy) Just as Taylor Swift brought together over 100,000 people to her two Detroit concert nights in 2023 during her Eras Tour, the often partisan-split Michigan legislature seems to have laid its armor down to ban online ticket bots from skipping lines and getting past ticket number limits, preventing fans from getting tickets to see shows. This was the case when Eras Tour tickets went on sale in November of 2022, which fans refer to as The Great War, where glitches and online bots prevented many fans from being able to purchase a ticket for the tour off of Ticketmaster. But even as elected officials in Michigan's Legislature clash on appropriations in the state budget in the Democratic-led Senate and Republican-led House, they're coming together and have both passed bills out of committee to create an Event Online Ticket Sales Act. The bipartisan bills, House Bills 4262 and 4263 and Senate Bills 158 and 159, would prohibit individuals from creating or utilizing a bot that can circumvent ticket purchasing limits, hop the line in online queues or otherwise defrauding the online ticket buying experience through software or bot programs. On the House side, which cleared its bills out of committee with bipartisan support earlier this month, one of the sponsors, Rep. Mike Harris (R-Waterford Township) told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee that bad actors are exploiting the system and preventing people and their families from experiencing sporting events and concerts important to them. 'As a father of six, yes, I have attended a Taylor Swift concert. That was my duty as a father of four girls,' Harris said during committee. 'I believe these are meaningful safeguards that will increase transparency and ensure a much fairer purchasing process for people here in Michigan.' The House bills cleared the committee unanimously. On the Senate side, Wednesday, the bills cleared the Finance, Insurance, and Consumer Protection Committee nearly unanimously, except for one pass by Sen. Lana Theis (R-Brighton) on Senate Bill 159, which like House Bill 4262, would place a $5,000 civil fine on each violation to the Event Online Ticket Sales Act and allow the Michigan Attorney General's Office to bring civil action against violators.

Michigan lawmakers renew bipartisan push for Taylor Swift-inspired ticket bot bills
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 02: Taylor Swift attends the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 02, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo byfor The Recording Academy) Michigan House lawmakers are trying again to make sure the game isn't rigged for ticket buyers with reintroduced bills to ban the use of software or bot programs to scalp online tickets and purchase them in large quantities. The initial bills, sponsored by Rep. Mike McFall (D-Hazel Park) and Rep. Mike Harris (R-Waterford Township), were passed by the House last session, but died in the Michigan Senate. They were reintroduced in March and were back up for a first round of testimony on Wednesday before the House Judiciary Committee. Live Nation, a major player in concert promotion and ticket sales, said it supports the bills, but the secondary ticket reseller StubHub remained neutral. Overall, the bills would ban people from creating bots that scrape websites for tickets and purchase them in large quantities. They would also ban users from using multiple accounts to buy tickets to circumvent or disable security features on websites to control sales volumes. 'We all have experience with trying to attend a concert or sports event only to be told that the event is sold out and only resale tickets are available at extreme markups,' McFall said. 'Bad actors will purchase excessive amounts of tickets, commonly using bots with the intent of selling the tickets at prices that can be multiple times the original face value for popular artists like Taylor Swift. Tickets with value of $250 to $500 have been commonly resold for $5,000 to $10,000.' McFall noted one instance of a ticket being resold for $17,000 in Arlington, Texas, for Swift's widely popular Eras tour. He said it harms the entertainment industry but, more importantly, harms consumers by creating an unnecessary financial barrier. The representative added that the bills would provide the Department of Attorney General with the means to investigate consumer complaints regarding scalped tickets and act against those who are misusing bots to buy several tickets at once. Harris said a staffer wrote him a script to read in committee rife with Swift lyrics. He didn't read it, much to the dismay of Rep. Kelly Breen (D-Novi), but said the package prioritizes the consumer. 'I think most of us here have constituents that have made comments or complaints about this,' he said. Harris said his bill would empower the attorney general to investigate consumer complaints on ticket sales and provide clear penalties. If passed as written, the legislation would carry a civil fine of up to $5,000 for each violation. Harris noted that one ticket sale purchase by a bot equaled one violation. 'These people are frauding the system and making it hard for the rest of us to actually take our families out and enjoy a good time at the concert,' he said. 'As a father of six, yes, I have attended a Taylor Swift concert. That was my duty as a father of four girls. I believe these are meaningful safeguards that will increase transparency and ensure a much fairer purchasing process for people here in Michigan.' Rep. Sarah Lightner (R-Springport) chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said that as a big Jimmy Buffett fan, she had a hard time getting tickets to his shows before she got on a special list, but could even then find them on a secondary reseller like StubHub. She wondered how the attorney general would begin to investigate instances where a show sold out quickly, and how would their office know if it was a case of a bot purchasing several tickets at once. McFall said a person would have to file a consumer protection complaint and that the platform, whether it be Ticketmaster, Live Nation or some other seller, would have access to information on whether a bot or multiple accounts owned by the same person purchased the tickets.

'Swifties for Trump' Criticizes Trump's Taylor Swift Comment: 'I Cringe'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jenna Piwowarczyk, the founder of "Swifties for Trump," criticized President Donald Trump for his comment on Friday declaring Swift "not hot" anymore, saying that it contributes to the alienation of conservative women who like Swift's music. "I cringe when the President says stuff like this," Piwowarczyk told Newsweek. Why It Matters Trump's renewed criticism of Swift comes as the megastar continues to play a high-profile role in American cultural life, recently concluding her mega successful Eras Tour. His decision to target Swift—a performer with a massive global following—is consistent with his strategy of attacking influential public figures who oppose him or his policies. What To Know On Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social asking if anyone noticed that ever since he said he hates Swift that she's "no longer 'hot.' " Piwowarczyk told Newsweek the goal of "Swifties for Trump" was to bridge a gap that has historically existed between young women and conservative ideology. Women have been more likely to vote for the Democratic presidential candidate in every election since 1992 and the gender gap between young adults and politics is stark. A recent poll from NBC News found 45 percent of men aged 18-29 approve of Trump's job performance, but only 24 percent of young women do. It's the biggest gender gap of any generation. There's a 13-point gap between men and women aged 45 to 64, a 9-point gap between men and women aged 30-44 and a 7-point gap between men and women 65 years and older.

Taylor Swift attends the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 2, 2025, in Los The Recording Academy Piwowarczyk, 19, started the group in August and previously told Newsweek it was important to have because she said millions of young, female voters consider themselves Swifties and she wanted them to know why they don't have to choose between loving Swift and voting for Republican. Swift endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election in September in a post on Instagram and signed it "Childless Cat Lady," in a reference to a comment Vice President JD Vance made. Days later, Trump posted on Truth Social that he "hates" Swift. "I do not think that President Trump's comments on his feelings towards her had any real negative impact, but I do believe that if he were to speak positively about her, it would lead to more unity between conservatives and young women," Piwowarczyk told Newsweek. What They're Saying Piwowarczyk told Newsweek: "Taylor just got off a 2-year-long tour marathon, and if she wants some time away from the spotlight, that's her business alone, and it does not impact her popularity." Trump in a Truth Social post in February 2024: "I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists... There's no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden... and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money." What Happens Next Swift has not responded to Trump's comments and has been mostly staying out of the spotlight since her Eras Tour came to a close at the end of last year.

Miley Cyrus Says Losing Her House Was The 'Biggest Blessing' Of Her Life
Miley Cyrus Says Losing Her House Was The 'Biggest Blessing' Of Her Life Miley Cyrus is rewriting a painful chapter of her life into something beautiful. The singer opened up about one of the hardest moments in her life during a Q&A after a screening of her visual album, 'Something Beautiful.' According to People magazine, a fan asked Cyrus about the advice she would give to her younger self, and the former 'Hannah Montana' had a lot to say. 'When my house burned down, that was the biggest blessing I've ever had in my life, actually,' Cyrus said, according to the outlet. 'Losing everything and being able to rebuild, and to be able to be purposeful and choose every piece that I'm gonna collect or also just about the people in my life,' she shared. 'And I guess for me, when my house burned down, a lot of my relationships also burned down, and that again just led me to such magic and to have so much gratitude.' 'I think what I would have told my younger self is to appreciate those darker times because, like I said, they are only leading you into the light,' Cyrus added. Miley Cyrus attends the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Arena on Feb. 2 in Los Angeles. Kevin Mazur via Getty Images The 32-year-old lost her Malibu house in a fire in November 2018, when she was still married to her then-fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. At the time, she said she was 'completely devastated' by the loss. 'I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that's all that matters right now,' Cyrus said in a message on Instagram after the fires. Cyrus would go on to marry Hemsworth in December, one month after losing her house. In August 2019, the two had announced their separation, and Hemsworth had filed for divorce. Their divorce was finalized in January 2020. Cyrus has previously revealed that her house burning down influenced her decision to wed Hemsworth. 'We were together since 16,' the singer said during an appearance on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show in 2020. 'I don't know if we really ever thought we were actually going to get married, but when we lost our house in Malibu — which if you listen to my voice pre- and post-fire, they're very different so that trauma really affected my voice,' she said before talking about all she'd lost in the fire. 'I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him,' she continued. 'And I really do and did love him very, very, very much and still do, always will.' Related...
