Taylor Swift fans queue for hours to get tickets to her album release party as AMC app crashes – UK Times

Taylor Swift’s upcoming 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, will be celebrated with a release party in movie theaters.

However, as fans scrambled to get their tickets to Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl — which will be released October 3 — the AMC Theaters app crashed.

People shared screenshots on X of what their app looked like, highlighting that there was an “estimated wait time” to not only purchase tickets for Swift’s event, but any films an AMC Theater was showing.

“Thank you for your patience as we experience high traffic volume,” the message on the app read.

“We have proactively created this queue for all visitors. When it is your turn, you will have 10 minutes to begin you ‘Taylor Swift | The Official Release Party of a Showgirl’ ticket purchase or other online visit. To purchase tickets or make A-list reservations today for movies that are now playing, please visit an AMC Theatre near you or check back later.”

“Tryna buy tickets to the new kanye doc and taylor swift fans shut down the amc website,” one X post read, while another person wrote, “i can’t f***ing use my free AMC tickets rn cuz of f***ing taylor swift.”

The album was first announced last month ahead of the Grammy winner’s appearance on the New Heights podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his older brother Jason Kelce.
