Hollywood star and WWE legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently opened up about a surprising challenge he faced—obtaining tickets to Taylor Swift’s sold-out “Eras Tour” concert. Despite his status as one of the most recognizable figures in entertainment, Johnson admitted that securing tickets to Swift’s final performance in Vancouver, Canada, on December 8, required him to step out of his comfort zone.
Speaking at the premiere of his latest film, Moana 2, Johnson shared his experience in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. "It’s never happened in my career. Usually, I don’t have to pull strings. Usually, I just make it happen," he said. However, a friend’s heartfelt request to attend Swift’s last concert pushed him to make an exception.
“I’m never good at asking for that kind of stuff. I’m good at giving it. Hate asking for stuff. I don’t do it,” Johnson admitted. “But in this case, I made a little call, Taylor made it happen. [We got] tickets … [my friend was] happy. I got the picture of the happy ladies who were there. I appreciate that about Taylor.”
Swift’s “Eras Tour,” which began in March 2023, has been a massive success, featuring 149 performances and drawing a star-studded audience, including Tom Cruise, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Selena Gomez, and the Beckhams. Johnson himself is no stranger to fanfare, with a film career grossing over $12.5 billion worldwide and an illustrious wrestling legacy.
Although he didn’t attend the concert personally, Johnson revealed that his three daughters—Simone, Jasmine, and Tiana—are avid fans of Swift and Beyoncé. He shared a light-hearted anecdote about his youngest daughter, Tiana, saying, “We love Taylor. We love Beyoncé. Tia, our littlest one, we call her Teyoncé. She owns it and will come strutting over.”
