Taylor Swift fans around the world are outraged by the pop superstar’s alleged special treatment of Australia.
International Swifties vented on social media after Swift treated Melbourne fans to an extra special surprise song in the form of a mashup of her songs Getaway Car, The Other Side of the Door and August.
“WHAT POSSESSED HER TO DO THIS?” one fan shouted on Twitter.
“Does Taylor owe Australia money or something what is this,” said another.
Another shared a meme of a stone-faced NFL player at a ticker tape parade, along with the caption: “the rest of the world is watching Melbourne get a getaway car x August x the other side of the door mashup.”

Fans at Taylor’s first Melbourne Cricket Ground concert were also treated to a world-first announcement by the singer that the special edition of The Tortured Poets Department would include a new song called The Bolter.
The outrage comes after a diehard fan miraculously scored a ticket to Swift’s Eras Tour concert following an act of goodwill from a punter who had to leave the concert early.
In a video shared to 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 as the concertgoer sends the card to the fan, before they hug and the woman runs into the venue.
According to the comments, the exchange took place toward the end of the three-hour concert during the show’s final Midnights Era.
‘Vigilante S**t’ can be heard in the background.

‘BLESS YOUR SOUL!! GOOD THINGS ARE GOING YOUR WAY,” another shared.
‘You are a gem. This was so incredibly sweet!!”
With three shows planned for Melbourne this weekend, thousands of fans who had missed out on tickets gathered outside the MCG and sang and danced to Swift’s hits.
The international trend has spawned the term ‘Taylor gating’, despite warnings from the MCG urging fans to only attend the venue if they have ticket holders.
Ahead of the concert on February 6, 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.
The following weekend, Swift Mania will hit Sydney, with the pop star performing across four shows from Friday, February 23 to Monday, February 26.
