Taylor Swift ticket surprise for teen after mom lost $1,600 in scam

A year after losing $1,600 on fraudulent Taylor Swift tickets, an Ontario mother got a second chance to give her 15-year-old daughter the surprise of a lifetime.

Within minutes, she got a reply with a screen grab of four Ticketmaster tickets and a request for Einav to provide her email address, so she could receive the transfer. After the story was published, RBC and Avion Rewards reached out to CTV News Toronto with a proposal to surprise Maya and Einav with legitimate tickets. Upon their arrival, Maya was approached by a bank representative with a Taylor Swift friendship bracelet and the opportunity to ‘enter a giveaway’ for a pair of Eras Tour tickets.
