The gross act Taylor Swift fans are willing to do not to miss a second of her Melbourne concerts as she heads to Australia for Eras Tour
With less than a month until Taylor Swift begins the Australian leg of her Eras tour, excitement is building among fans of the singer.
And Swifties are coming up with bizarre ‘hacks’ to maximize their experience at the concerts, including one very crude suggestion.
One ticket holder from Melbourne has posted on a fan forum suggesting that ‘adult diapers’ could be a good idea to ensure they don’t miss any numbers while waiting in the toilet queue.
‘A bit of a stupid question, I’m going to Melbourne N1. Is anyone thinking about wearing an adult diaper? I REALLY don’t want to miss a second of it,” the anonymous post asked.
This suggestion sparked a lively discussion not only on the topic of absorbent undergarments, but also on the challenging decision of which songs could be forfeited as nature called.

Some felt Shake It Off was the ideal toilet break song, while others thought songs from the Evermore or Folklore eras could be missed.
Meanwhile, some fans praised the unique diaper idea, while others wondered if the post was serious.
The Eras show is an extremely long stadium spectacle, with a set list of 44 songs and a playing time of almost three and a half hours.
So “holding back” may not be an option for some.
Tour organizers are concerned about the 15,000 fans estimated to arrive despite not having tickets to see the pop star’s sold-out shows.

Venues NSW have warned ticketless fanatics to stay away from the stadium to avoid crowd management issues, they reported The Daily Telegraph on Sunday.
A spokesperson said fans who missed out on tickets should not try to “soak up the atmosphere” outside as they probably won’t hear any songs anyway.
Meanwhile, Transport NSW coordinator general Howard Collins said the city is “preparing for the inevitable”.
“What we found at other popular music venues where people can’t get tickets, people just show up to soak up the atmosphere, and you can’t stop them except to manage the crowds,” he said.
“We are not encouraging ticketless fans to attend, but part of our contingency plan takes into account additional people who may be traveling and do not have tickets.”
But despite warnings from the NSW government, businesses are said to be rolling out the welcome mat to all Taylor fans, regardless of whether they have tickets.
Business Sydney director Paul Nicolaou said: “Regardless of their ticket status, Sydney should put up the welcome sign for the Swifties because they will all contribute to our city in some way.”
