==Controversy==
Two major controversies have erupted as a result of the tour. [[iHeartMedia]] is under fire for how they plan to give away tickets. Dubbed "The Taylor Test" in order to test the proven low IQ's of Swift fans, questions will consist of test questions from the [[ACT (Test)]], [[SAT]], and [[GRE]]. In order to curb cheating off cell phones, the contestant has 5 seconds to provide the exact answer provided on the sheet. If they fail, or if the DJ suspects them of cheating, the tickets must be shredded on air while the DJ laughs and says "YOU FAILED THE TAYLOR TEST!". If there is any deviation from this routine, the offending DJ will be immediately terminated and all remaining tickets immediately shredded on air for the betterment of the population.

A second controversy has erupted over several cities declaring Swift's shows noise pollution and dangerous to the development of youth. In an extreme case, Baton Rouge has declared Swift's "performance" will be cut off if it exceeds 60 dB at any point. [[Saint Paul]] has topped Baton Rouge's requirements by setting a 40 dB limit and having Swift serve 500 hours of community service in the city before she takes the stage or face arrest for "polluting the minds of youth". Additionally, cities such as [[East Rutherford]], [[Los Angeles]], and [[Chicago]] will press Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor charges to the fullest extent of the law against any parent who buys their child a ticket to this "show".
