‘So heartbroken’: Taylor Swift Reacts to Swiftie flying to Singapore from Philippines for concert in tears over alleged ticket scam
She had her outfit, flight tickets and hotel all booked and ready, only to find out she has been scammed of her Taylor Swift ticket for her concert in Singapore.
A TikTok video of Filipino Michelle Angela went viral yesterday (March 1) after she posted herself crying while singing along to the lyrics of Taylor Swift’s Enchanted, saying that she was scammed of her tickets to The Eras Tour.
The video has now garnered over 283,000 views.
In another video posted today, she shared how she got in touch with a seller through a Facebook group named Taylor Swift Eras Tour Tickets. According to her, the group helps Swifties in the Philippines to purchase tickets for the concert.
“In the description [of the group] the admins seemed legit and reassured us that the tickets are real, so I was like, ‘Ok I trust the Swifties’,”she recalled.
Prefacing that she was cautious when looking for a seller, Michelle shared that a lot of people messaged her but she chose sellers who were based in Manila.
She eventually decided to purchase tickets from a man as he only asked for the full payment once he had the printed tickets which made her feel safe.
However on Feb 10, the day he was supposed to meet to hand over the concert tickets, he kept rescheduling, claiming that he was coming from Baguio which is about a 4-hour drive away from Manila.
She then messaged him, “Please tell me if this is a scam because the plane tickets are super expensive,” adding that she would be more accepting of the situation if he admitted then rather than after she booked her plane tickets and hotels.
He reassured her that he was a “serious seller”.
Michelle didn’t elaborate on what happened after, but shared her last conversation with the seller and revealed that she already filed a police report in hopes of getting her money back.
