Taylor Swift Presale Password Madness

Tickets for a whole slew of Taylor Swift tour dates went on sale this morning, and thousands flocked to Google to fine-tune their stub-snagging strategy. Clever ticket hunters earned 'Taylor Swift Presale Password' a top spot on today's Google trends - not content to enlist their families in a coordinated siege on Ticketmaster or to pay quadruple face value on Craigslist, many had a better plan in mind: Hunt down the presale password and secure a great chance of snagging tickets before the general public and scalpers get theirs.
The tour in question kicks off on March 11 in Dallas, and password-only ticket sales began this morning at 10AM EST. Without that coveted password, Swift's fans will have to wait to buy tickets in the general sale - which doesn't open until October 23. Of course, without the extra effort of a quick Google search for a working password, we're not so sure they deserve those seats anyway.
