An influencer has clapped back after being publicly shamed online for scoring tickets to two of Taylor Swift’s concerts in Melbourne last week.
Olivia White, 34, responded to criticism after she came under fire in a Facebook group for going to see the US pop megastar one night with her friend, followed by another night with her daughter.
The user in the social media group stated there was ‘so much outrage’ among Swifties who missed out on tickets, while Olivia managed to attend twice.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Olive wrote: ‘Not sure why I get used as the example when so many people went to multiple shows and tbh I’m done with people s**t-slinging at those who did.’
‘Unfortunately, that’s just how it ended up with the tickets I could get per show…’ she added.

Olivia noted her efforts in ‘helping others’ successfully snap up tickets and attend the concerts.
‘I also managed to get tickets for friends to Melbourne and Sydney shows, plus I have poured so much effort into helping others over the last few weeks’ last minute sales which I know so many were successful in getting,’ she continued.
‘I don’t see many people going once, twice or however many times doing that… But people feel the need to find a specific person to blame they didn’t get a ticket?? Okay, if that’s what you need, and I hope eventually you come to terms with that.’

Olivia was shamed online by disappointed Swifties who missed out on tickets
In the Facebook group, several disappointed Swifties who missed out vented their frustrations over people who attended more than one show.
‘As someone who missed out on tickets it’s a bit hard to watch people who went to more than one concert,’ someone wrote.
‘People going more than once is selfish, others missed out and it would be nice to allow more people a chance to go too,’ added another.
‘I’m a huge Taylor fan. I was given an opportunity to go twice but instead gave the ticket to a friend who didn’t get tickets. I personally don’t agree with multiple shows due to supply & demand,’ one user commented.

However, others came to Olivia’s support and called out the jealous fans.
‘Why shouldn’t they be allowed to go to as many concerts as they could get tickets too? Sounds like a bunch of bitter people who are just jealous,’ someone said.
‘I’m no Taylor fan but if anyone had the ability to go see their favourite artist twice there’s no way they would say no,’ another commented.
‘I think the outrage is silly in those scenarios? Good for them, take it in I’m sure she won’t be coming back here for at least a few years.’
Taylor arrived in Australia last week and has already performed three shows in Melbourne from February 16 to 18
One wrote: ‘Who cares honestly. Good for people who got multiple tickets. Concert with a friend vs with your daughter would be sooo different! The only people who care are just jealous but well too bad.’
