This means the US pop superstar has produced 10 chart-topping albums faster than any other female solo artist, with 10 years and eight months separating her first number one Red in 2012 and now.

Today, many fans took to Ticketmaster and competing sites hoping to get lucky and bag a ticket for the Eras tour, with three separate drops of tickets throughout the day for London and Edinburgh shows.

Hotel prices have skyrocketed for the dates of the shows.

However, Yorkshire music lovers were left angry as thousands missed out – before spotting tickets being listed on sites for hundreds of pounds.

Ebay user hask77 listed a pre-sale code – not the ticket, only the code for the chance to attempt to buy tickets – for £350.

At the time of writing, no bids had been made but users were tracking the auction.

Many fans took to social media to say they missed out on tickets.

One said: “Hopefully they are clamping down on ticket sales as it’s ridiculous what companies re sell them for.”
