AUSTRALIA: Taylor Swift's Australian fanbase is expressing frustration over the list of prohibited items for her Eras tour leg in the country. Nevertheless, loyal Swifties have rallied to defend the pop icon amidst the uproar.

Despite being in different countries at the moment, Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have managed to generate buzz after Kelce declined to confirm any plans of proposing to Swift at the Super Bowl.

While Kelce is currently in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl and Swift is in Tokyo for her Eras Tour, she is expected to attend the Super Bowl on time.

Swift sparked speculation among gossipmongers after reports surfaced that she encountered issues with parking her private jet at the Super Bowl. When asked about whether the NFL provided a parking space for Swift, Kelce jokingly replied in a Super Bowl press conference that he might need to consult the higher-ups.

Taylor Swift's fans upset after rules list for Australian leg of Eras Tour released

According to the Daily Mail, fans are expressing frustration over a lengthy list of prohibited items at the upcoming concerts of the 'Lover' singer. Frontier Touring has released a set of peculiar regulations ahead of Swift's Australian leg of the Eras Tour in Sydney and Melbourne later this month.

As detailed by the Daily Mail, the list includes bans on various items such as large signs, confetti, iPads, spray sunscreen, aerosol deodorant, and battery packs.

The Daily Mail reports further restrictions, including rules concerning friendship bracelets featuring references to Swift's songs, albums, and lyrics, which are permitted but must be worn on patrons' arms without carabiners or d-rings.

Moreover, according to the Daily Mail, drones and audio recording devices are strictly prohibited, and professional video or photography cameras are not allowed. However, fans are permitted to film the concert on their smartphones.

The list by Frontier Touring also stipulates that attendees should avoid wearing clothing likely to obstruct the view of other concertgoers. Additionally, items such as air horns, speakers, flashlights, and lasers are prohibited and will be confiscated if brought to the concerts. Tents and umbrellas are also not permitted, as reported by Daily Mail.

Frontier Touring shared in a tweet on X, "@taylorswift13| The Eras Tour kicks off in Aus soon, so here are all the important deets before you head to the show! Check out http://frntr.co/Taylor24FAQ for more! Have q's? Let us know! #TSTheErasTour #MelbourneTSTheErasTour #SydneyTSTheErasTour"



 

These stringent regulations have sparked outrage among Swifties.

Daily Mail reports that Swift is scheduled to perform three shows at the MCG on February 16, 17, and 18, followed by four concerts at Accor Stadium in Sydney on February 23, 24, 25, and 26.

A recent moment from Swift's Tokyo show caused a stir when a viral clip emerged showing her nearly stumbling during a performance on her Eras Tour in Tokyo.

Internet users say Australian fans who are upset are 'insane'

Swifties rallied behind the 'Enchanted' singer and made comments on Facebook supporting the rules list for Swift's shows in Australia.

A user wrote, "This is the same set of rules that is applied to every venue, including the size of the bag you can bring in. Don't like the rules don't go. But Taylor doesn't makes these rules these rules come from the stadium."

Another said, "This is normal it is nothing special."

A user commented, "Anyone upset is insane and lucky to be able to attend."

Someone else noted, "If you don't like it, stay home and whinge to yourself."
