Unbridled Eve Organizers Clarify the Error
Following the overwhelming response, event organizers issued a statement clarifying the confusion. Tammy York Day, co-founder of Unbridled Eve, addressed the mistake in a public apology.
“In the most recent Unbridled Eve press release, it inadvertently listed one of our auction items as a ‘Signed guitar by Taylor Swift and two concert tickets during her upcoming 2026 tour,’” she explained.
“Our deepest apologies for getting the Swiftie Nation excited, but it should have said ‘Guitar signed by Taylor Swift and two tickets for a concert during her next tour.’”
The statement emphasized that there is no confirmed information about when Swift will tour again. “We have no knowledge whatsoever of when that tour will be,” it added.
