Twitter Loses It Over Senators Quoting Taylor Swift Songs At Ticketmaster Hearing

Twitter users lost their minds over U.S. video clips. During Tuesday’s Ticketmaster hearing, senators from both parties quoted lines from Taylor Swift songs.

The Senate Judiciary Committee was comprised of Senator Amy Klobuchar from Minnesota and Connecticut Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal. Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee also participated, quoting lyrics by the 33-year-old pop singer’s long catalog of songs.

Klobuchar claimed during the hearing “To have a strong capitalist system, you have to have competition. You can’t have too much consolidation. Something that unfortunately for this country — as an ode to Taylor Swift, I will say — we know all too well.”

“To have a strong capitalist system, you have to have competition. You can’t have too much consolidation,” Sen. Klobuchar speaks out about Ticketmaster.

Another person tweeted about the social media platform. “This has me rolling. The Karma quote during the Ticketmaster hearing  #TaylorSwiftTheErasTour.” A clip of Lee speaking at the hearing was included in the post. “Karma’s a relaxing thought, aren’t you envious, that for you it’s not.”

Another person shared their response to Sen. Lee’s hearing. “The Ticketmaster hearing is absolutely wild. I can’t believe I just heard a U.S. Senator say ‘karma’s a relaxing thought, aren’t you envious that for you it’s not’ in a tone of voice that makes it so clear he has not listened to this song even once.”

The Ticketmaster hearing was absolutely crazy. It’s unbelievable that I just heard a US Senator speak. “karma’s a relaxing thought, aren’t you envious that for you it’s not” He says it in a tone that is so loud it sounds like he has never listened to the song.

“This literally so funny,” One person tweeted. The tweet included a clip of Blumenthal saying that “Ticketmaster had the temerity to imply that the debacle involved in pre-ticket sales was Taylor Swift’s fault because she was failing to do too many concerts. And may I suggest … Ticketmaster ought to look in the mirror and say, ‘I’m the problem. It’s me.’”

This is hilarious. This is what ticketmaster does when republicans are united with democrats.
