Taylor Swift Bill Signed By Tim Walz After Failing To Get Tickets To Her Concert

Tim Walz, running mate of VP Kamala Harris, passed the “Taylor Swift Bill” during his time as Minnesota Governor, inspired by his own struggles to secure tickets for Swift’s upcoming Eras Tour

The Minnesota Governor signed House File 1989, named after Swift’s birth year and album, in June, aiming to enhance transparency and protection for online ticket purchases for concerts, sporting events, and other live events in Minnesota.

About the “Taylor Swift Bill”

The new law requires ticket sellers to disclose fees upfront and prevent multiple copies of the same ticket. It applies to Minnesota or other states for events within Minnesota.

Walz filed the bill after becoming frustrated with his inability to purchase tickets to Swift’s 2023 concert in Minneapolis.

Walz talked about the importance of law, he said “Potection so you don’t get a bad ticket, a fraudulent ticket, and resellers can’t snatch them all up before you get an opportunity.”

In 2022, he expressed disappointment on Instagram for not securing Taylor Swift tickets, accompanied by a photo of his cat Afton snarling, after being online all day.

Harris praised his dedication to middle-class families and his strong family values

When Harris named Walz as her running mate, she complimented his support for middle-class families and strong family values.

Harris on Instagram praised Walz, she said “One of the things that stood out to me about Tim is how his convictions on fighting for middle-class families run deep. It’s personal, He worked with Republicans to pass infrastructure investments. He cut taxes for working families. He passed a law to provide paid family and medical leave to Minnesotan families.”

She also added  “We are going to build a great partnership. We are going to build a great team. We are going to win this election.”
