Ticketmaster has canceled today’s public sale of Taylor Swift tickets, after Tuesday’s presale caused so much chaos. Ticketmaster says it now has, quote, “insufficient remaining ticket inventory” to meet demand.

More than two million tickets were sold on Tuesday. Live Nation also says they are trying to fix the problem.

If you’re looking for anyone to blame for not getting your tickets, having to wait in a queue for hours or paying outrageous prices; look know further than the popularity of Taylor Swift!

YouTube finally has a NEW most-followed person. MrBeast reached 112 million subscribers, which surpassed PewDiePie’s 111 million. PewDiePie had held the record for 10 YEARS.

MrBeast is known for giving away cash and prizes, doing challenges, and his charity work. He does this challenge where people have to stay in a red circle for an extended length of time, the catch is that the circle gets smaller and smaller.

Back on October 4th,  Cory Youmans caught Aaron Judge’s historic, 62nd home run ball.

He reportedly turned down $3 million, and he’s going to auction it off instead.

At least one expert thinks it could become the highest-priced baseball ever sold. That honor currently belongs to Mark McGwire’s 70th home run ball from 1998. It sold for $3.05 million.
