Minnesota has enacted legislation known as the "Taylor Swift Bill" in an effort to assist people to get concert tickets.
The bill, officially named House File 1989 after Taylor Swift's smash song and the year she was born, was signed into Minnesota law on Tuesday.
Governor Tim Walz, who signed the bill into law at First Avenue, a famous music venue in downtown Minneapolis, described it as "protection so you don't get a bad ticket, a fraudulent ticket, and resellers can't snatch them all up before you have an opportunity."
It will force sellers who offer tickets to persons in the state or tickets to shows held there to disclose all fees upfront and restrict resellers from selling more than one copy of a ticket, among other things.
Minnesota State Representative Kelly Moller, the bill's principal sponsor, advocated for the law after attempting to obtain tickets to one of Swift's performances in 2022.
Ms Moller said she was one of thousands of individuals trapped in Ticketmaster's system after it crashed due to high demand for Swift concert tickets and bot assaults that attempted to buy tickets for resale at exorbitant prices.
The situation led to congressional hearings but no federal legislation.
