Taylor Swift’s Australian The Era tour 2024: Where pop star is staying Down Under

She is bringing her sell-out The Eras tour Down Under next February. 

And Taylor Swift is set to make the most of her free time when she arrives in Australia for the first time since 2018.

According to reports, the Love Story hitmaker will be spend her spare time in Sydney visiting some iconic Australian landmarks.

This includes climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, visiting the animals at Taronga Zoo and having a surfing lesson at Bondi Beach. 

‘Taylor’s usually exhausted after her shows but since it takes so long to get to Australia she wants to make the most of it,’ an insider told Woman’s Day magazine.

According to the publication, Taylor will be staying in a rented mansion and is eager to go on a shopping spree at luxury Aussie clothing label, Zimmerman. 

The Pennsylvania native will be performing seven concerts in Australia in February – three in Melbourne and four in Sydney. 

After huge demand, Taylor announced a third Melbourne show at the MCG on February 18 next year and a fourth Sydney concert at Accor Stadium on February 26, last week. 

The Grammy award-winning star will become the first artist since Madonna to perform three consecutive concerts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when she takes the stage in February next year, and the first ever to play a fourth straight show at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.

The new gigs are in addition to the existing Melbourne concerts on February 16 and 17 and Sydney shows on February 23, 24, 25.

All tickets for the shows sold out last week. 

Meanwhile, the pop star left hundreds of thousands of Aussie fans disappointed when she announced she would not be playing shows in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide next year.

A music industry insider revealed their simply wasn’t enough time to perform shows in those cities. 

‘With big tours like this, the directive would come from the artist,’ the insider told The West Australian.

‘Taylor would have said, “I only have time to do two cities. I don’t have time to go around the country”. It’s a directive that comes from the artist.’

With Australia’s allocation of only two weeks’ worth of dates, only two cities could feasibly be incorporated into the itinerary. 

Interestingly, despite having a much smaller population than Japan, Australia had more tour dates than Tokyo, a testament to Swift’s popularity in the country.

Her promoters even indicated that they could have held back-to-back dates in Australia for a month, although this would not have been sustainable throughout the duration of the tour.
