Fans baffled as attendee's disgusting act at Taylor Swift's Melbourne show leaves some seats empty for hours
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA: Taylor Swift kicked off her highly anticipated 'Eras Tour' in Australia on Friday, February 16, with an electrifying show for a record-breaking crowd of 96,000 fans at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
However, the pop star's show hit an early sour note when a severely drunk attendee vomited across several seats, forcing spectators to miss hours of her set, as per Daily Mail.

The shocking incident of an attendee vomiting on several seats occurred around 7 pm, just as Swift was about to take the stage. Stadium staff scrambled to clean up the area, but it took a staggering two hours before fans could return to their paid seats.
"We had to stand in areas near the seats for the majority of Taylor because they took two hours to find someone to clean it up. It stunk," complained one eyewitness.

Entire sections and dozens of seats were mysteriously empty throughout Taylor Swift's Melbourne show
Despite the fiasco, Swift wowed over 90,000 cheering fans with a career-spanning setlist of her biggest hits. However, some eagle-eyed Swifties noticed entire sections and dozens of seats left mysteriously empty throughout the show.
"Losing my mind at there being 96,000 people here. This is the biggest show that we've ever done," declared the 'Lover' singer at the start of the concert. Yet one disappointed fan shared photos revealing two vacant sections during mid-show.
The reasoning behind the empty seats remains unclear. It's possible some ticket holders were unable to attend last minute. However, the images spurred confusion and frustration from fans who clamored for tickets during the rapid sell-outs earlier this year.
Internet reacts to news of vomit incident at Taylor Swift's Melbourne concert
Reactions followed after the news of the disgusting act by a drunken concertgoer at Swift's Melbourne show made it to the Internet.
One Facebook user remarked, "When you pre-drink too hard. Next time don't; it's Taylor, the hype and excitement of seeing her live should be enough," and another said, "No big deal, most of them wouldn't be watching the show; they would be recording it through their phones."
A person expressed, "Such b.s.! All that money for tickets, and it takes 2 hours to clean up puke! These stadiums rake in the money and do nothing to help fans, even in emergency situations! This needs to stop!"
"That's what happens when you turn it into an all-seater venue... If they had been standing, no one would notice trampling through spew," wrote someone else.
One fan questioned, "So how is this Taylor’s fault??? And not the fan and the stadiums????"
