Ariana Grande has released a statement to fans regarding concert ticket resellers after the North American dates of her 2026 Eternal Sunshine Tour went on sale, and quickly sold out, earlier this week on Ticketmaster. Though face value tickets are not currently available, ticket inventory can be found at inflated prices on the resale market– on Ticketmaster and on platforms including StubHub, TickPick, SeatGeek and more.

The singer posted an Instagram Story addressing the situation on Saturday (Sept. 13).


“hi my angels, i have been on set all week but i wanted to let you know that what’s been happening with the secondary ticket resellers has been brought to my attention and of course i am incredibly bothered by it,” Grande wrote in her message.

Taylor Swift’s ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ Music Video Is Finally Up on YouTube: Watch

The first music video from Swift's new album premiered in movie theaters, but wasn't available to watch at home until Sunday night.

Taylor Swift‘s “The Fate of Ophelia” music video is now streaming on YouTube, following an exclusive early release to movie theaters only on Friday (Oct. 3).

Written and directed by Swift herself, the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” made it online Sunday night (Oct. 5). The reference-filled visual has the pop star playing several parts, or showing several sides — among them the once ill-fated Ophelia of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the lead in a Golden Age Hollywood movie musical, a frontwoman to a 1960s girl group, and the modern Swift showgirl that audiences know and love.
