Officially known as House File 1989, after the year of Taylor Swift’s birth and her popular song, the bill was enacted into Minnesota law on Tuesday.
Along with other restrictions, it will force ticket vendors who are selling tickets to residents of the state or for performances hosted there to be upfront about all costs and forbid ticket resellers from selling multiple copies of a single ticket.
The primary author of the law, Minnesota State Representative Kelly Moller, attempted to secure tickets to one of Swift’s concerts in 2022 and then lobbied for the legislation.
Congress held hearings on the matter, but no federal legislation was passed as a result.
