    Clickbait headline, it’s a £1 per ticket fee on large concert venues to support smaller concert venues.

    Scottish Greens’ culture spokesman Mark Ruskell said: “A small £1 charge on the biggest stadium-packing gigs like Taylor Swift at Murrayfield could have a transformative impact on our industry and our culture."

      If you can get a reference to Taylor Swift into a headline, it probably multiplies your clicks by a few orders of magnitude, so journalists and/or editors are getting increasingly shameless. There was an article a few weeks ago about Scottish Fold cats having medical problems and they made the headline about Swift as she has one of those cats (whose medical history was not mentioned).
