Passionate feminist Clementine Ford has come under fire after hosting a Taylor Swift tribute concert which has been called “basically karaoke”.
The social media activist, 43, decided to organize the tribute concert after failing to get tickets to Swift’s Australian Eras tour this year.
The ‘Taylor Made’ event was part of Manly’s Night at the Barracks concert series and was advertised as an alternative for Swifties who missed out on the Eras tickets.
The tribute concert featured artists Alex the Astronaut, Charley, Clare Bowditch and Lucy Durack.
However, the evening’s attendees, who paid between $80 and $150 for the show, were not impressed with the organizer’s efforts.
Since Sunday night’s concert, attendees have flooded the event’s social media pages, as well as local community forums, to express their disappointment with the concert.
Ticket holders claimed that some of the performers were reading printed lyrics taped to the floor in front of them, and at one point a singer made the crowd sing the song because the lyrics were “too difficult.”
One Facebook user claimed that the tribute concert was “the worst concert I have ever attended.”

The social media activist, 43, decided to organize the tribute concert after failing to get tickets to Swift’s Australian Eras tour this year.
‘In my opinion, among all of them there was a good singer. However, the gin was good and so was the venue: food trucks and bars. I think I could have done a better show,’ they expressed.
Clementine also performed several songs, but also added a series of profanity-laden speeches to the mix.
“My seven-year-old daughter’s central memory is that Clementine Ford was cursing while speaking to the crowd, which is not ideal,” one mother said. The advertiser.
‘From an entertainment point of view, the people singing weren’t worth the change for $130 a ticket: a super disappointing show. Did something happen in the background?
‘There was just no effort. It was just shocking, we left in disbelief,” commented another Taylor fan.
The show appeared to be aimed at adults, but some adult concertgoers were confused by the presence of many children.
The evening’s attendees, who paid between $80 and $150 for the show, were unimpressed with the organizer’s efforts, citing performers singing recorded lyrics on stage and Clementine’s intermittent speeches as problems.
Since Sunday night’s concert, attendees have flooded the event’s social media pages, as well as local community forums, to express their disappointment with the concert.
‘(Clementine) was singing a (Taylor Swift) song about heartbreak and then she was like, ‘Don’t let people hurt you, kids!’ “It was so weird that you’re not Taylor Swift,” another attendee said.
‘Some of the children weren’t even alive when she wrote those songs. The organization was so strange. “I just don’t know what went wrong,” they added.
A mother who took her son to the concert took to social media to express her outrage.
‘The lead performer didn’t know the words and seemed very uncomfortable. It was basically karaoke,” said another concertgoer.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Clementine Ford and Night At the Barracks for comment.

Earlier this year, Ford fans were angered after a joke by comedy group The Inspired Unceived at a feminist talk in Sydney went disastrously wrong.
A large group, mostly women, attended the free event which featured a panel including Ford and fellow feminist writers Antoinette Lattouf and Yumi Stynes.
But the unsuspecting public, who were ready to listen to some serious talk about marriage and sex, were upset after comedian Jack Steele appeared as a “special guest.”
Known as one half of The Inspired Unavailable with Matt Ford, Steele made a series of off-color comments that enraged the audience.
At one point, he was overheard saying “girls like consent” and “I really like female writers.”
Introduced as a special guest offering his “perspective” as a young person on the panel’s topics, Steele’s comments reportedly left some attendees in tears.
According Yahoo LifestyleSteele’s antics were being filmed as part of the television show The Inspired Unceiveds, (Impractical) Jokers.
The 30-year-old comedian was reportedly being “fed” his provocative comments via an earpiece as part of the new show.
The report claims that many audience members left the event before the scheduled end.
Meanwhile, Ford and his co-panelists stayed an extra hour to continue the talk after Steele left the event.
Last year, Ford announced a surprising new career move after Nova officially removed her podcast.
