Who Doesn’t Love Taylor, Right?
Even the mighty Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has his limits, and it turns out securing tickets to Taylor Swift’s legendary Eras Tour is one of them! The Hollywood giant recently shared a surprising behind-the-scenes moment on Entertainment Tonight, revealing that he had to “pull strings” just to get his hands on tickets for his friend.
It’s a bit of a shocker, right? The Rock is known for his larger-than-life persona, not to mention his wealth of connections in the world of entertainment. But even with his Hollywood stature, grabbing a seat at one of Swift’s shows wasn’t a walk in the park. As Johnson explained, “It’s never happened in my career… usually, I don’t have to pull strings. Usually, I’ll just… make it happen.”
🚨| Dwayne Johnson reveals that he asked Taylor for concert tickets:
“We love Taylor and Beyoncé, Tia our little one we call her Tiyoncé—I made a little call, Taylor made it happen, Tickets, Happy! Alls well in the world. I appreciate that about Taylor.”

However, the Eras Tour has been anything but typical. Swift’s concert tickets have become like golden tickets—practically impossible to snag, especially as the tour winds down to its final shows. Johnson humorously admitted that he’s not great at asking for help, but when his “good friend” needed tickets, he made the call. And thanks to some backstage magic (and a little help from Taylor herself), it all worked out in the end. “I got the picture of the happy ladies who were there. All was well in the world,” he said with gratitude.
Johnson’s struggles aren’t unique. Many, including big names like director Steven Soderbergh, have faced the same challenge. In fact, Soderbergh admitted he couldn’t get tickets despite his attempts. But, as he joked, “I watched the film”—a subtle nod to how Swift’s Eras Tour movie is allowing fans to experience the magic even if they couldn’t score a seat.
As the tour nears its end with just three shows left, including the final one on December 8 in Vancouver, it’s clear that Taylor Swift has built something truly remarkable. Eras is not just a concert; it’s a cultural phenomenon, having grossed nearly $2 billion globally, making it the highest-grossing concert tour in history.
It’s safe to say that, whether you’re an A-list star or a devoted fan, securing tickets to a Taylor Swift concert is a challenge—one that even the biggest names in Hollywood aren’t immune to!
