Mum’s Taylor Swift rant resonates with Australian parents appeared on www.news.com.au by Brooke Rolfe.
Taylor Swift has been warned by a stressed parent that she will have “blood on her hands” unless she announces more shows for the Australian leg of her Eras tour next year.
Adelaide personality Amanda Blair, a parent of diehard “Swifties”, revealed she was being “hassled day and night” to spare no expense when queuing for tickets with the rest of the country on Wednesday.
The mum, who said she was “counting down the minutes” until access opened to presale tickets, addressed a Facebook rant to the popstar on Sunday.
“Hey the announcement of your Australian tour has put all parents under enormous pressure. We’re being hassled day and night to get on the ‘priority list’ for tickets and being urged to ‘PAY AS MUCH AS YOU CAN’ for a seat,” she wrote.
“Personally I’ve been told that if I don’t secure tickets on Wednesday my child will ‘DIE’ by ‘CRYING HERSELF TO DEATH’.”
Ms Blair detailed the intense bargaining she had been subject to by her demanding children.
“So just letting you know Tay-Tay that unless you announce more concerts so that every child who wants ‘nothing else for birthday and Xmas for the next 4 years Mum I promise’ can get a ticket without their parents selling their souls, possessions and dignity, you will have blood on your hands,” she said.
Unlike in Swift’s song, Shake it Off, she said she was simply “not going to shake this off”.
“Signed, counting down the minutes till Wednesday at 1.30pm parent,” she wrote.
Presale tickets become available for the Sydney show at 10am and 2pm for Melbourne.
If her comments were anything to go by, she wasn’t the only parent feeling immense pressure from their Swiftie children.
“I too am hoping for tickets – thinking they’ll be way up in the nose bleed section if I’m lucky enough. Hope you manage to get tickets for your daughter and she has a blast seeing Tay-Tay and no doubt be forever indebted to her mum,” one wrote in a comment.
“It’s all my 18-year-old has talked about. Good luck getting tickets as you’re up against mega fans who have held meetings and strategised different scenarios,” another wrote.
“I used a credit card which I’ll pay off in 44 days. I think it’s worth it to secure any type of seat! I paid $900 just because I didn’t want the stress on Wednesday! If you want a three-hour concert, of Taylor singing her Eras and a full blown production for a concert, you unfortunately have to pay,” a third person wrote.
Parents who missed out on tickets to their favourite artist’s concert when they were young joined the chorus of people encouraging Ms Blair to persevere with the tickets.
“Get the tickets. I’m 49 and still traumatised I never got to see New Kids on the Block like my friends in school did,” one woman wrote.
