Tickets for Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated stadium tour may reach record-high prices, as fans are rushing to secure their seats during the presale. 

Ahead of the official sale date, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 18 at 10 a.m. ET, some fans claimed Ticketmaster’s site crashed Tuesday morning while they attempted to purchase seats during the TaylorSwiftTix Presale event.

However, when FOX Business asked Ticketmaster about reports the site had crashed, a representative responded, "The site is not down. People are actively purchasing tickets."

Meanwhile, Bruce Springsteen addressed fans’ theories that the two artists will make guest appearances during each other’s concerts, since the "Born in the U.S.A." singer will also be on tour in 2023.

"I will be because my daughter’s going to make sure, I will be at the Taylor Swift show," Springsteen announced on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," Monday.

"She’s welcome on E-street anytime," Springsteen added.
