Kiwi Swifties left gutted Taylor Swift is not performing in New Zealand as they share one big theory about why she skipped the country on her Eras Tour
Kiwi Swifties have been left heartbroken Taylor Swift has decided not to bring her Eras Tour to New Zealand.
Several fans have said they are experiencing ‘mega FOMO’ as the star performs across Australia and remain hopeful she will pass through their country to at least enjoy the picturesque countryside.
Wellington local Tessa Paddy told news.com.au: ‘I fully expected us to be on the list when she started releasing all the tour dates.
“When it got to Australia and this region, to be honest, initially I thought she was just sorting things out and making the announcement about Auckland and Wellington… but it never came.”
The superfan tried to get tickets for the Melbourne and Sydney shows but said it was too expensive.

Fellow Kiwi Swiftie Chaz managed to score a ticket to a show in Sydney, but it cost $3,000 for tickets, accommodation, food and $700 worth of outfits.
Fans suggested Swift left out the country because it doesn’t have a big enough stadium.
“NZ not having a big enough venue is probably the main issue here, both due to the size of the Eras Tour production and demand,” one Facebook user wrote.
Tourism New Zealand’s Andrew Waddel debunked this idea, telling news.com.au: ‘Aotearoa (NZ) has a great reputation for hosting world-class events. Last year we co-hosted the FIFA Women’s World Cup, welcoming thousands of manuhiri (visitors) to the North and South Islands.”

‘Several stadiums in New Zealand can host superstars like Taylor Swift. Eden Park Stadium in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is a great example.”
The singer last performed in New Zealand in 2018, where she performed one show from her Reputation tour.
Swift performed three sold-out concerts in Melbourne last weekend for an audience of 96,000 people.
Her Sydney shows have attracted 80,000 fans a night, alongside A-list guests such as Rita Ora, Katy Perry, Rebel Wilson and Toni Colette.
