Taylor Swift fans around the world have been outraged by Australia’s special treatment from the pop superstar.
International Swifties let loose on social media after Swift treated Melbourne fans to a very special surprise song in the form of a mashup of her tracks Getaway Car, The Other Side of the Door and August.
‘WHAT POSSESSED HER TO DO THIS?’ exclaimed one fan on Twitter.
“Does Taylor owe Australia money or something?” said another.
Another shared a meme of a stone-faced NFL player during a ticker-tape parade, along with the caption, “the rest of the world watching Melbourne get the getaway car x August x the other side of the gate.”

International Swifties let off steam on social media after Swift treated Melbourne fans to a very special surprise song.
Fans of Taylor’s first concert at the Melbourne Cricket Ground were also treated to the singer’s world-first announcement that the special edition of The Tortured Poets Department would feature a new song called The Bolter.
The outrage comes after a die-hard fan miraculously got a ticket to Swift’s Eras Tour concert following an act of goodwill by a punter who had to leave the concert early.
In a video shared on TikTok, one of the thousands of ticketless fans waiting outside the MCG managed to get into the concert thanks to the friendly Swiftie.
The short clip shows stunned fans watching the concert-goer send the fan the ticket, before they hug each other and the woman runs into the venue.
According to comments, the exchange occurred toward the end of the three-hour concert during the show’s final Midnight Era.
‘Vigilante S**t’ can be heard in the background.

‘BLESS YOUR SOUL!! GOOD THINGS ARE COMING YOUR WAY,” another shared.
‘You are a gem. This was incredibly sweet!!’
With three shows scheduled for Melbourne this weekend, thousands of fans who missed out on tickets gathered outside the MCG singing and dancing to Swift’s hits.
The international trend has earned the term ‘Taylor-gating’, despite warnings from the MCG urging fans to attend the venue only if they have tickets.
Ahead of the February 6 concert, the venue said there would be “no activations” at Yarra Park or live screenings of the show, and reminded fans of the rules against drinking and setting up tents, marquees or barbecues.
Swift mania is coming to Sydney next weekend, with the pop star performing four shows from Friday 23 February to Monday 26 February.
