Taylor Swift's tickets to her upcoming Era's tour went on sale last week and the world has lost their ever-living-minds about it! It all started when Ticketmaster opened up a "Verified Fan's Only" pre-sale event, which limited the number of people that could purchase tickets. Millions of people were left waiting on the sidelines to purchase, only to find out that the general public sale would never end up happening.

Frustrated fans across the nation have taken to the internet to voice their distaste for not only Ticketmaster, for being a huge monopoloy in the ticket industry, but also to Taylor Swift herself. Calling her out for being a "capitalist" and not address the issue of her tickets being resold for a higher price than she originally priced them to be.

Now I have the unpopular opinion here... I believe in free markets and if someone wants to buy something from me, for a price that benefits me, there should be nothing in the way of that transaction taking place. It baffles me a bit that I do not share this opinion with most. 

In today's episode, I play clips from other Tiktok-ers expressing their opinion about all this Taylor Swift drama. I also talk about the past trendy food desserts over the last few years, can you guess what it is this year? I'm looking at you Crumbl cookie.... and I also tie in how this all relates to the face-mask shortage in 2020.

We have Adam Smith, the Father of Economics to thank for all this, and more! I hope you enjoy today's episode.
