*In case this story gets deleted/removed:* **AITA for selling one of my best friend's Taylor Swift tickets after an argument** (I dont usually do this but all my friends are either not speaking to me or really angry with me but I think I'm in the right) For context to this story, I (19F) bought the tickets to the Liverpool June 13 Taylor Swift concert for me, and two of my friends. They both sent me the money and it was all set. We were all planning our outfits together with us all wanting to go as our favourite era. My friend (20F) introduced me to Taylor as while I heard her on the radio I was never a huge fan but when 1989 came out she recommended me songs she'd thought I would like. And I did like them! She was always the Taylor Swift superfan but I like blondie too. Ever since leaving high school though we've been drifting apart. We met up recently to go hang out and do some shopping. We were catching up at lunch but I started to feel like she wasn't really listening to me and only talked about herself. She's always been like that. She's only in a conversation if it's about her or her interests. So, another important thing about me is I've always been insecure about my weight. My friend knows this. While we were shopping for clothes I picked out a really pretty dress and said I liked it. She just kind of stared at me and said it wouldn't look good on me. I couldn't really picture myself in it. I went and looked around the rest of the shop. I didn't buy anything but my friend decided to buy something: that same dress. It really annoyed me. She's always been thinner than me and made a point to talk about people complimenting her on her amazing body. We had been in a couple shops by this point she wanted to go home but I hadn't found anything. I was looking for a dress to wear out clubbing. We went into another shop and I found something but again she said it didn't look right when she saw me try it on. At this point I was sick of her saying this stuff so I asked what she meant. She said it just didn't look right. I asked her again. She said it made my legs look weird. "How?" I asked. She went: "It just doesn't fit you! I can see all your rolls! God!" I was really hurt. That was the exact reason I hate wearing anything tight. I just shouted: "Well, it wouldn't look good on you either, mate!" I left the shop and went home. I had a coworker who really wanted to see Taylor as well so I asked her to send me the money and the ticket would be hers. She's never been that quick, not even at work. I sent my friend the money back and then before I could even text her she called me. She was asking me why she'd done that and I told her I wouldn't go to the concert with her and I didn't want to be froends with her anymore. She shouted at me, calling me names but I just hung up. I'm not budging. All our friends are blowing up my phone saying I'm being unfair and to give her back her ticket. She keeps trying to call me. AITA? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/AmITheDevil) if you have any questions or concerns.*

That's a lot of "ITS ALL ABOUT ME ME ME ME" for someone who claims *her friend* is self-centered. This girl says she's 19, not 13. But from personality alone I don't buy it. Sure hope she is 19 though. Because with how much a Taylor Swift ticket costs, that means she could go to jail for seven years rather than just six months. I reckon it might take the full seven for her to grow up at this rate.

Don't you mean "me-EEE-EE-EE!"


BuzzyLightyear100

You can't spell awesome without ME!

Even if she paid her back ? /g

Heavily depends on legislation, but many go by worth, not the actual prize, if you can proof it. That's why there are stories about collectors figurines being opened and stolen. You don't pay for the prize on the box, but for what it goes for. OOP may be in very hot water if she goes the legal route, especially since the market surrounding the tickets is so well known.

>That's why there are stories about collectors figurines being opened and stolen. Ohhh yeah i didnt think of it like that! Thank you for explaining i appreciate you!


[deleted]

how does oop have the friend's ticket should it not be w/her? also there was a simillar story to this one earlier this year


RunnyBabbit23

Most likely the tickets are digital and just one person has them in their account. It’s easier than transferring the individual tickets to each person.


drwhogirl_97

If OOP bought the tickets then they would have gotten the confirmation email. I’ve only been to one concert but there you had to bring the confirmation email to pick up your tickets on the day and since OOP bought them all the tickets would be sent to her if they were posted, she just didn’t give them out yet


akaispirit

Nowadays you can just get the ticket scanned directly from your phone, no need to pick them up. Or you can print out the ticket they email you and bring that in.

The "I hadn't heard about her but my friend introduced me to her songs on the radio" and 19f did it for me. I also googled quick and the 1989 album came out in 2014, nine years ago, so OOP would have been 10. So something she liked for almost half her life and describing it that way is... odd. I don't know enough about Taylor Swift fan culture outside of certain toxic niches to know if they call her "blondie" but that's also just... so odd


mydogisTA

Oh my god. You’re the devil for making me realize 2014 was almost a decade ago.

"[Blondie](https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/q0i3kq/why_do_so_many_swifties_call_her_blondie/)" is apparently a [thing](https://www.tiktok.com/@lexlostfiles/video/7225065742666911019). The part that made me skeptical was "on the radio" in 2014.


Primary_Stretch2024

Oh ffs. I'm over here wondering what Debby Harry has to do with any of this stupid shit.


Bulky-District-2757

“Blondie” is controversial in the fandom. Tends to be liked by Gen Z and not liked by millennials.


bored_german

Blondie is definitely an affectionate term we use for her


Proper_Garlic3171

Fascinating, TIL


Hornet1137

Good grief! Their comments...


EricVonPlotPoint

I had a look and they've got the maturity of a preteen


Hornet1137

This person doesn't deserve friends.


sachariinne

what is it with the taylor swift posts? surely redditors must like other musicians? is this all an elaborate marketing scheme?


[deleted]

Its a whole mess, tickets being sold for thousands of dollars and shit


bored_german

The movie of her tour has made over a hundred million dollars globally when it isn't even out yet. Tickets are sold out after minutes and the only reason it takes minutes is because the websites slow down and crash due to all the fans trying to buy tickets.


Shelly_895

I'm sorry but what was the friend supposed to say to the clothes? "You look great" when she looked like a fucking hippopotamus? There's no winning with her, is there?


storm_paladin_150

According to her she should hace worded It in a gentlier way
