and her fans late Friday night after a ticketing debacle this week that made it difficult for consumers to buy tickets to the pop star's new tour.

The company said that it is working to "shore up our tech for the new bar that has been set by demand" for her tour. "Once we get through that, if there are any next steps, updates will be shared accordingly," it wrote.

Live Nation responded Saturday in a statement posted to its website, saying that it "takes its responsibilities under the antitrust laws seriously" and "does not engage in behaviors that could justify antitrust litigation, let alone orders that would require it to alter fundamental business practices."
