Is this the worst Taylor Swift tribute act EVER? Singers read star’s lyrics off pieces of paper on the floor before giving up entirely – after Clementine Ford charged fans $150 for ‘basically karaoke’

Firebrand feminist Clementine Ford has been slammed after organizing a Taylor Swift tribute concert that was ‘basically called karaoke’.

The social media activist, 43, decided to organize the tribute concert after she was unable to get tickets for Swift’s Australian Eras tour this year.

The ‘Taylor Made’ event was part of the Manly’s Night at the Barracks concert series and was advertised as an alternative for Swifties who had missed out on 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 unimpressed by 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 some performers were reading printed lyrics taped to the floor in front of them, with one singer at one point making the audience sing the song because the lyrics were ‘too loud’.

One Facebook user claimed the tribute concert was the “worst concert I’ve ever been to!”

‘I think there was one good singer out of all of them. Gin was good though, as was the location: food trucks and bars. I think I could have made a better show,” they said.

Clementine also performed several songs, but also added a series of profanity-laden speeches to the mix.

‘My seven year old’s core memory is that Clementine Ford swore while speaking to the crowd, not ideal,’ said one mother The advertiser.

‘It just took no effort. It was just shocking, we left in disbelief,” another Taylor fan commented.

The show seemed aimed at adults, but some adult concertgoers were confused by the presence of many children.

‘[Clementine would] sing a (Taylor Swift) song about heartbreak and then say don’t let people hurt you, kids! It was so bizarre, you’re not Taylor Swift,” said another participant.

“Some of the kids weren’t even alive when she wrote those songs. The organization was all so strange. “I just don’t really know what went wrong,” she added.

A mother who took her child to the concert took to social media to express her outrage.

“My seven-year-old’s core memory is that Clementine Ford swore while speaking to the crowd, not ideal,” she said.

‘From an entertainment perspective, the people singing were not worth the trade-off for $130 per ticket – a super disappointing show. Did something happen in the background?’

‘The lead artist didn’t know the words and she looked very uncomfortable. It was basically karaoke,” another concertgoer claimed.

Ny Breaking Australia has contacted both Clementine Ford and Night At the Barracks for comment.

Earlier this year, Ford fans were angry after a joke by comedy group The Inspired Uneloosen during a feminist lecture in Sydney went disastrously wrong.

A large group, mostly women, had attended the free event, which included Ford and fellow feminist writers Antoinette Lattouf and Yumi Stynes.

But the unsuspecting audience, who got to hear a serious talk about marriage and sex, was shocked when comedian Jack Steele turned up as a ‘special guest’.

Known as one half of The Inspired Unless with Matt Ford, Steele made a series of off-color comments that angered the crowd.

At one point you heard him say, “Girls find consent” and “I really like girl writers.”

Introduced as a special guest who offered his “perspective” as a young man on the panel topics, Steele’s comments reportedly left some of the audience in tears.

According to Yahoo lifestyleSteele’s antics were filmed as part of the TV show The Inspired Unless, (Impractical) Jokers.

The 30-year-old prankster was reportedly ‘fed’ his provocative comments through an earpiece as part of the new show.

According to the report, many spectators left the event before it was scheduled to end.

Meanwhile, Ford and her fellow panelists stayed an extra hour to continue the conversation after Steele left the event.

Last year, Ford announced a surprising new career move after her podcast was officially shut down by Nova.

The feminist activist posted on Instagram to reveal that she has secured funding to develop her new scripted TV series called ‘Smile B**ch’.

A synopsis for the show reads: “A high-profile media host develops a desire for murder after one too many sexist microaggressions causes her to manifest the ancient goddess of anger.”

Announcing the project to her 250,000 followers, she wrote: “You can’t stop a tenacious woman.”

She continued, “So happy to announce that [Aquarius Films] and I have received [Screen NSW] funding to develop our idea for #SmileB***h, a dark comedy about a woman taking revenge on the men who wronged her.”

She concluded the post with an ominous message: “Be careful. Anger is coming.”

It comes after it was announced that Nova Entertainment had canceled Clem’s ‘Dear Clementine’ podcast after two years with the network.

Although she did not explain why, Clementine suggested that her controversial views on the Israeli-Gaza conflict may have forced Nova’s hand.

Clementine has come under heavy criticism in recent weeks for attacking supporters of Israel and supporting the people of Gaza.
