An Australian radio host has shared his biggest complaint about Taylor Swift’s record-breaking Eras tour shows.
While 3AW star Tom Elliot called Swift’s performance at a Melbourne show “amazing”, he slammed the Cruel Summer hitmaker after her show ran “too long”.
“The only negative thing I can say about the concert is that it was too long,” Elliot, 56, said Monday morning.
“I admire that Swift can go on stage and perform for that amount of time three nights in a row,” he added.
But no concert needs to last for those three and a half hours. Sometimes, Taylor Swift and all Swifties, less is more.

While 3AW star Tom Elliot (pictured) called Swift’s performance at a Melbourne show “amazing”, he slammed the Cruel Summer hitmaker after her show ran “too long”.
The complaint comes after Aussie Swifties complained about an “annoying” act by fans at Melbourne concerts.
Lee, from Victoria, recently sparked a debate over proper concert etiquette after a young fan kept her arms raised throughout the show.
The woman’s act blocked Lee’s vision and prevented him from seeing Taylor perform at several points.
‘Does this count as a ticket with restricted views?’ he asked her on TikTok, along with a clip.
Australian fans began complaining about an “annoying” act at Swift’s concerts.
Lee shared that he politely asked the woman to try dancing with her hands down because she couldn’t see, but it didn’t work.
The super fan was upset because she spent hundreds on Eras Tour tickets and had been looking forward to the concert for months.
However, many criticized her for criticizing other fans’ “normal” behavior.
“Part of going to a concert is knowing that no matter where you are, your view will be restricted most of the time,” one said.
‘Not even the front row is perfect because there are other people there. “The arms will always be up and swinging, and the performers will go everywhere in case of blind spots,” argued another.
A third said: “I don’t see anything that restricts your vision.” I see someone having fun and an entitled person complaining about it.’
Another concert-goer from Melbourne chimed in: ‘I loved that people took part, it was so much fun. My entire area danced and jumped throughout the entire show. It was epic.’
But others sided with Lee, incredulous of the young woman’s “selfish” act.
‘People need to learn concert etiquette. I understand that you are excited but we still have to be respectful of your surroundings. Manners!’ one wrote.
‘Listen, if I paid all that money and had someone constantly obstructing my view, I’d be angry. We’re all there to have fun BUT you have to be respectful!’ Another repeated.
“You can dance and enjoy a concert without having to move your arm all the time,” one woman wrote.
‘I’m back issues so I can’t stand it, or even sit for too long, BUT I still want to be able to see the artist. Is that so bad? one asked.
