Tickets for Taylor Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour have been like gold dust. While some fortunate Swifties managed to nab seats for her shows last summer, many others have been left scrambling to find tickets for one of her later gigs when she returns in the fall.
While these shows are sold out on Ticketmaster, there are still ways to get your hands on tickets through sites such as Viagogo and StubHub.
On a previous visit to Ireland, Paramore performed an acoustic version of the Cranberries hit song Dreams. During the song, she said to the crowd who were singing along: "I’ve thought about this for years, and you sound better than I imagined. I do not think I could ever imagine what the Cranberries felt when people sang this s*** to them. This is the stuff of legends.”
