Woman arrested in Taylor Swift ticket fraud case: Toronto police

The woman used the alias "Denise Blackhawk" while selling the tickets on Facebook Marketplace

Toronto police have arrested a GTA woman who they allege scammed dozens of Taylor Swift fans out of nearly $70,000 by promising them tickets that never materialized.

The woman used the alias "Denise Blackhawk" while selling the tickets on Facebook Marketplace, police said in a news release Tuesday.

Her victims would e-transfer her an agreed amount for the tickets — police noted some of these deals were done when tickets first went on sale in 2023 — and were assured they'd be sent closer to the concert date. The tickets never materialized, police said.

"When victims requested their money back, the accused alleged that the money was gone," police said.

Twenty-eight victims sent the woman money, police said.
