how does taylor swift call anyone? like a bat signal? a really strange thing. i -- taylor knows ethan's daughter, maya and reached out to her. the title of the album, obviously, "tortured poet's department." and so, i think it's a little tip of the cap to "dead poets society," other tortured poets. and she probably had this idea it'd be interesting for us to be in the video. and, so then reached out to ethan, and then ethan reached out to me. and once i got over thinking he was punking me -- you know, when he first called me, i was like -- >> jimmy: "is this for real?" >> like, "dude, are you bull[ bleep ] me right now? 'cause if you're [ bleep ] me right now --" >> jimmy: yeah. >> oh, i can't say that on tv, can i? >> jimmy: no.

reference, taylor swift is dating travis kelce and while i'm sure harrison butker thought it wasuth is that taylor swift and travis kelce are literally a testament to the opposite of everything harrison butker was talking about. taylor swift spent the past week filling stadiums in paris as she takes her successful tour global, the 34 yield lo singer is not married, she has no children and has made no indication that she wants to embrace being a homemaker. all of which appears to be pretty okay with harrison butker's teammate, travis kelce, who gets to enjoy a super fancy european vacation including romantic boat rides through italy along with his h multimillion dollar girlfriend. somebody tell harrison butker , quick. we are going to have more on the actual war on women's freedom coming up next. up next i needed something to help me gain clarity. so i was in the pharmacy and i saw a display of prevagen and i asked the pharmacist about it. i started taking prevagen and i noticed that i had more cognitive clarity. memory is better. it's been about two years now and it's working for

eventually canceling the general sale and leaving many fans in the lurch and furious, taylor swift spokeut calling it excruciating to watch ticketmaster apologized now fast forward to january 24, 24, 2023, the senate holds an anti-trust hearing and well, it's full of taylor swift references ticketmaster auto look in the mirror and say, i'm the problem. it's me, a lot of people seem to think that somehow a solution, i think it's a nightmare dress like a daydream. >> you can't have too much consolidation, something that unfortunately for this country as a ode to taylor swift, i will say we know all too well well, this brings us to today. >> the doj's lawsuit, and it's not just taylor swift that brought this about, by the way fans for a long time have been complaining about ticketmaster's exorbitant fees so let's take a closer look. >> now say for example, i wanted to go with my husband to see bad bunny this sunday in miami as an example, two goods seats go for $303.90. >> but when you get to check out, the price is nearly 100 bucks more. so let's break it down 30390 for the tickets 59, at

you and i have already seen stories of just how much the get in price for that taylor swift concert costs here in the u.s., which led many american concertgoers to fly to places like stockholm and paris where ticket prices are less. there is a lot of anecdotal evidence at play right now. what ticketmaster has to do is show many of the arguments don't hold water, that's where the tough part of this legal case is going to come, jose. >> that taylor swift thing was such a disaster on so many levels. so, dom, the u.s. government approved the sale of ticketmaster to live nation in 2010. do you think they'll be able to successfully to break the two up? >> this is an interesting point. this is a suit that has broader bipartisan support if you want to call it that and consumer support as well, especially because of the taylor swift issue you just mentioned. what remains to be seen is just how much of a legal basis there is for breaking this company up. so, on the one hand the whole idea of the sherman antitrust act was to make sure that companies did not get so large that they cornered their resp

but it's hard to believe that a lot of these artists and i think taylor swift among them, wants to pricepeople who are the bread and butter of her fan base. >> well, lots of bands have been saying this for many, many years. they would like it make it affordable for people to come to their concerts. the issue for the government is they're saying live nation controls the venue, controls the artists' contracts and then sells the tickets so they have a hand in every single piece of the pie and that's what keeps it so expensive. >> i'm still stuck in the '70s and '80s, but my nieces are telling me that i've got to get with the program. >> i have waited in line for a physical ticket in my lifetime too, remember waiting in line for the actual ticket. >> christine romans. ryan reilly, who would you wait in line for, ryan? >> full disclosure my family and i are frying over to london actually over the summer to see taylor swift. i don't actually get to see the concert, but my daughter and wife get to. it was much cheaper when you looked at this. it was cheaper to buy a flight over to london than l
