As a stan, there are usually a few sure signs that you've learned to look out for that clue you in on when something major is about to be announced/dropped. Suspicious emoji-coded tweets? A mysterious new theme on Instagram? A dimly lit Snapchat of the back of their head in what might resemble a sound booth? These are the subtle complexities that plague the everyday life and well-being of a stan.
Nicki Minaj stans—Barbz—recently suffered their own dose of cardiac-arrest inducing social media activity when Minaj tweeted out a suspicious query.
This seemingly innocent question quickly had fans in a panicked frenzy wondering why Miss Minaj was asking such a thing. Many caught on that Citibank is a Live Nation partner that often offers exclusive pre-sale rights to their cardholders when tours go on sale. After that, all hell broke loose.
Minaj's mentions were exploding at that point with fans pleading for her to hold off announcing tour yet so they could get their coins in order, or hope she would do away with the presale altogether. Suffice it to say, things got messy pretty quickly.
The sheer volume of concerned replies even prompted Nicki to reconsider.
It seems like Minaj has decided to hold off on announcing any official tour presale times just yet. Take a look at some of the wildest responses to Minaj's initial tease of a new tour for a glimpse into the psychology of a real die-hard fan.
