Desperate times call for desperate measures, as the saying goes. And Shae Harding and her daughters were getting desperate.
Desperate times call for desperate measures, as the saying goes. And Shae Harding and her daughters were getting desperate.
It was November 2023, and tickets for Taylor Swift's then-just-announced Eras Tour shows at BC Place in December 2024 were about to go on sale.
Shae had already entered the pre-sales for Swift's shows in Toronto and Seattle, but without any luck. The Langley mom and her daughters – 13-year-old Chloe and 16-year-old Cadence – wanted to make sure they did everything they could to make sure they had a chance to see their idol in their backyard.
For Chloe and Cadence, that included calling on supernatural forces in hopes of "manifesting" tickets.
"We just saw TikToks of everyone else doing it, so we thought we'd try," said Cadence.
"I just have a lot of crystals, too, and we have a lot of candles, so we were like, 'Might as well give it a go.'" added Chloe.
The girls lit candles and chanted in front of a makeshift shrine of crystals, friendship bracelets and other Swiftie memorabilia, along with a sign reading "I will get Taylor Swift tickets."
