But it ended with nothing but Bad Blood, according to police.

The woman contacted someone she thought was a legitimate seller after seeing a post advertising the Taylor Swift tickets and was given a phone number to text.

This led to a scammer, just plain Mean, providing an email address.

The woman then sent a total of $1,480 to the scammer, who became Fearless when asking for even more money before the woman finally recognized the scam All Too Well.

Now, there’s a Blank Space in her hands where the tickets should be.

Want to avoid the scam? Police have several tips to make sure you don’t fall victim to a similar trick the next time You’re On You’re Own, Kid:

  • Do thorough research, avoid buying tickets from online marketplaces, and use official band websites and ticket brokers whenever possible
  • Remember, if a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is
  • Never use online payment methods, prepaid debit cards, or gift cards as payment and use a credit card on a secure website instead

Clearly, this scammed Swiftie Should’ve Said No, but hopefully, she can Shake It Off.
