I got my daughter Taylor Swift tickets for Christmas — you won’t believe her reaction
They were swift to snag tickets.
These two lucky parents were met with one very disappointed teen when they surprised her with rare Taylor Swift concert tickets for Christmas.
In a viral TikTok clip, which topped 15.2 million views, the daughter opens the thin, paper box to reveal a piece of paper showing the seat numbers.
“What is this?” she asks as she pulls off the top of the box. “Oh, Taylor Swift.”
“Whoa — I’m not a big fan,” she adds as her jaw drops open in confusion.
Her mom responds, “What?!” as her dad’s laugh punctuates the video in the background before the clip ends.
Despite the obvious issue that she wasn’t as big of a Swiftie as her parents thought, those tickets came at an even bigger price. Swift’s highly anticipated “Eras” tour was the center of Ticketmaster controversy last month as the price for entry soared into the thousands.
One eager fan purchased seats for $9,000 but came up empty-handed despite her card being charged — just one example of the chaos that ensued as people clamored for tickets online. Unfortunately for many Swifties, there was too much demand and not enough supply, leaving many fans disappointed and without tickets (save for the few who might get a second chance at purchasing).
This young girl’s viral video prompted viewers to beg for the girl’s unwanted tickets, while others slammed her for being “ungrateful.”
“Guys shes not ungrateful shes just saying she doesnt like taylor swift,” one user argued.
“Even before I saw her reaction I had a feeling she wasn’t gonna be a Taylor Swift fan,” another noted.
“This is not being ungrateful if my mom bought me tickets to taylor swift i’d be upset because she wasted her money on something I don’t like,” someone else wrote.
Other users bashed the parents for not knowing what their daughter even likes — and some even assumed the parents wanted the highly sought-after tickets for themselves.
“The ‘what?!’ Do you not talk to your kids lmao,” a TikToker chided.
“Get to know your children,” chastised another.
“The way they prob went through hell for those but thats what happens when u dont know ur kids,” commented another user.
“They got her something THEY wanted,” someone else hypothesized.
“This is not her being ungrateful, it’s the parents not knowing their kids. Or the parents getting something for themselves,” one viewer commented.
Other users tried to find light in the situation, even offering to buy the tickets from her.
“It’s okay she can resell them and buy a house,” one person quipped.
“I’ll buy them i’m so serious i’m a huge fan,” a Swiftie offered.
“GIMME THOSE TICKETS,” demanded another.
“NO WAY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SCREAMING. I WILL TAKE THE TICKETS OMG,” someone else commented.
Apparently, the dad’s other daughter “loves Taylor Swift,” the mom explained in the comments section, and the dad purchased two tickets so the step-sisters could go together.
She assured other users that, despite her reaction, “she does like Taylor,” she’s just not a “BIG fan.”
“He is the one who bought the tickets,” @allybeach919, the mom who posted the clip, wrote in the comments, referring to her husband. “His daughter loves Taylor. he asked her if she liked Taylor, she said yes, her old music. So he tried.”
