More than 800,000 fans logged on to try and get tickets for her Australian tour, while the ticketing website said it repelled half a billion bots.

Taylor will reject all but two major cities in Australia and is only scheduled for seven shows in total Melbourne and Sydney, leaving Swifties behind Perth enraged as they pull out thousands to see her.
Perth was not the only city to be rejected, as fans in Brisbane and Adelaide will also miss their idol at home.
Tour sources have revealed that the decision to stay in the southeast likely came from the Bad Blood hitmaker himself, they reported Now Perth.

Taylor is said to have said, “I only have time to do two cities.” I don’t have time to travel across the country.’ It is a guideline that comes from the artist.’
Taylor announced a third Melbourne show at the MCG on February 18 next year and a fourth Sydney concert at Accor Stadium on February 26 as part of The Eras Tour.
