Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is known for narrative songs about her personal life, which have received widespread media coverage. At age 14, Swift became the youngest artist signed by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house and, at 15, she signed her first record deal.
Her 2006 eponymous debut album was the longest-charting album of the 2000s in the US. Its third single, "Our Song", made her the youngest person to single-handedly write and perform a number-one song on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in 2008.
Buoyed by the pop crossover success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", it became the US' best-selling album of 2009 and was certified diamond in the US. The album won four Grammy Awards, and Swift became the youngest Album of the Year winner.
Australian Taylor Swift fans warn Americans to ‘stay in your own country’ as concert tix go on sale
nypost.comSydney TikTok user, Yana, is one of the Swifties telling the A-lister’s American fans to back off.“If you’re American, stay in your own country.
I don’t even understand how you should be allowed to buy tickets here,” she said in a video posted on Tuesday.“You had 50 shows, 50.
Australia has five. That doesn’t even just cover Australia, that covers New Zealand – in two states, that’s it.“There are not even going to be enough tickets to go around for the diehard Swifties, and you want to come here?
We’re really chill until you piss us off. Don’t get on a plane, we’ll meet you at the gate. You’re not ready for that, trust me.”Yana also urged Australian fans not to be “greedy” when tickets go on sale and told them not to invite anyone who wasn’t a loyal fan.The TikToker also added before adding that Aussies have “every right” to “gatekeep” tickets from Americans.“If she was doing more shows then sure, let’s not gatekeep, but I think we have every right to be a bit s–tty about people wanting to fly to Australia to see her,” she said.Another Aussie fan, Sami Williams, said if she doesn’t get a ticket because “some Americans” decided to come to our shows then “there will be war.”Many commenters agreed, with some even claiming there should be “restrictions” so only Australian residents can purchase tickets.‘Eras’ is Swift’s first tour in five years and, when tickets went on sale in November last year for the US leg, up to 14 million Americans attempted to buy pre-sale tickets – with only 1.5 million up for grabs.So there are millions of Americans who would have missed out seeing her in their own country, but Aussie fans are very adamant that this does not give them the right to try and snag tickets here.TikTok user, Adele, said.
