Dave Portnoy was left hanging by Taylor Swift‘s team after the Barstool Sports chief got the impression of getting free tickets to the Eras Tour.
In the most recent episode of the BFFs podcast, Portnoy revealed how Swift’s PR team reached out to him before the record-breaking tour’s three-night stand at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Speaking to Josh Richards and Briana Chickenfry, Portnoy addressed how he was ‘ghosted’ by the 14-time Grammy winner’s camp.
‘By the way, Taylor Swift [is] coming up in Miami,’ Portnoy said. ‘I thought I was getting an invite from her PR agency. They’ve totally ghosted me.
‘I get zero respect from the Swiftie team for what I do,’ he added. ‘I don’t know, they don’t like me.’

‘That’s sad, Dave. I’m sorry,’ Chickenfry told Portnoy. ‘You know, you do all you do and it’s like you get nothing back.’
Continuing his rant, Portnoy admitted that not getting free passes would keep him from attending one of the shows. He also joked about getting swarmed during the event.
‘I don’t wanna sound like yuppy but I’m just gonna buy tickets, fine,’ Portnoy said. ‘I have no problem with that but it’s going to be hard for me just being general pop, which I’m gonna be.’
‘Fine, whatever, no big deal, [I’ll] get f***ing swarmed in the jacket.’
Swift is back Stateside in the home stretch of her tour after being in Europe for most of the summer. After her three shows in Miami, the tour will head to Caesars Superdome in New Orleans before wrapping up at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana.
