This Morning viewers say 'this is ridiculous' as Taylor Swift ticket fever takes over

Not everyone appeared to be joining the latest Taylor Swift tour ticket chaos as they saw some of it unfold on This Morning. During the programme on Tuesday (July 11), viewers could see some fans of the singer trying to secure a place at one of her upcoming UK shows live in the ITV offices.

This morning (Tuesday), fans have had another chance to snap up tickets to see Taylor here in the UK. The Bad Blood and Shake It Off singer is stopping off for 13 dates across London, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Cardiff as part of the European leg of her Eras Tour in June and August 2024.

And it was today that presale tickets for all three shows at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, and two shows at Wembley Stadium, London, went live meaning fans found themselves virtually battling for a ticket.

So Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary wanted to see what was going on and a couple of Taylor fans were invited down to try and bag their tickets while live on This Morning. At one point Aliosn, 48, interrupted the ITV show to excitedly confirm: "It’s happening. Who is it? Rhian have you got some tickets?"

And it's fair to say their guest looked absolutely thrilled as Rhian confirmed: "I have." Dermot, 49, then applauded while Alison, who had spotted Rhian glued to her phone, joked: "Look she won’t even talk to me she’s telling all her mates."

But concerned Rhian may have not bagged the tickets after all, a worried Alison asked: "Have you definitely got those tickets?" to which she replied: "I should have. I’ve just got to put the code in and I should be able to start buying them. This is exciting.’ Alison then jokingly admitted: "I’ve got a tear in my eye over this. This is amazing."

However, not all those watching at home were impressed with the Taylor ticket pandemonium. @TraylorHolmes tweeted: "This is absolutely ridiculous #ThisMorning." @IndeedItsMark said: "The #TaylorSwift segment on #thismorning is one of those brainstorming ideas which seemed a good idea at 2am in the morning but in reality is just a yawn for those watching."

@Boppity_Boo34 asked: "Can we move on from Taylor Swift #ThisMorning." @mariahscracker laughed: "Screaming at this morning doing a whole segment about the Taylor Swift tickets coming out at 11am #thismorning." @TheeQueenJay1 added: "Not gonna lie, the whole Taylor swift stuff is kinda cringe. I don’t get why people are so obsessed. Love the rest of the show and the presenters though. Just can’t stand everyone obsessing about it. #thismorning."
