In a turn of events that no one—especially Taylor Swift—saw coming, the pop sensation has been forced to cancel several upcoming dates of her highly anticipated Eras tour after a shocking backlash following her public endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris. The once-sold-out stadiums have quickly turned into ghost towns, with Swift managing to sell a mere 2,300 tickets for the latest leg of the tour, a far cry from the record-breaking crowds she had been pulling in earlier.

For a woman who can sell out arenas in minutes and crash Ticketmaster with sheer demand, Swift now finds herself facing a backlash that no catchy pop chorus or glittery stage outfit can fix. Apparently, it turns out that combining pop superstardom with political endorsements comes with a heavy price tag—one that even Swift herself might not have fully anticipated.
