Kiwi Swifties left gutted Taylor Swift is not performing in New Zealand
Kiwi Swifties have been left heartbroken Taylor Swift has decided not to take her Eras Tour to New Zealand.
Several fans have said they are experiencing ‘mega FOMO’ as the star performs across Australia and remain hopeful she will swing by their country to at least enjoy the picturesque countryside.
Wellington local Tessa Paddy told news.com.au: ‘I was full expecting we’d be on the list when she started releasing all the tour dates.
‘When it got to Australia and this region, to be honest I initially thought she’s just sorting some things out and will make the announcement about Auckland and Wellington … but it never came’.
The super fan tried to secure tickets to the Melbourne and Sydney shows, but said it was too expensive.
Fellow Kiwi Swiftie Chaz managed to score a ticket to a Sydney show, but it came at a cost of $3,000 for tickets, accommodation, food and $700 on outfits.
Fans suggested Swift left the country out because it does not have a big enough stadium.
‘NZ doesn’t have a venue big enough is probably the main issue here, both for the size of the Eras Tour production and also the demand,’ a Facebook user wrote.
Andrew Waddel from Tourism New Zealand debunked this idea telling news.com.au: ‘Aotearoa (NZ) has a great reputation for hosting world-class events. Last year, we co-hosted the FIFA Women’s World Cup, welcoming thousands of manuhiri (visitors) across the North Island and South Island’.
Several stadiums across New Zealand can host superstars like Taylor Swift. Eden Park Stadium in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is a great example’.
The singer last performed in New Zealand in 2018, performing one show of her Reputation tour.
Swift performed three sell-out concerts in Melbourne last weekend to crowds of 96,000.
Her Sydney shows have attracted 80,000 fans per night in addition to A-list guests which have included Rita Ora, Katy Perry, Rebel Wilson and Toni Colette.

🔥 Meghan Markle STRIKES BACK — Even After Her Own Father Calls Her “FAKE” on Camera!
“When Travis Kelce arrived quietly at the private memorial service in Dallas, no one expected the Chiefs’ tight end to turn the somber gathering into a moment that would be remembered forever. ▶️ WATCH THE VIDEO: As Marshawn Kneeland’s father sat in the front row holding a framed photo of his son, his hands trembling, Travis approached — not as a football superstar, but as a teammate, a brother, and a man who understood the weight of loss. Placing one arm gently around Kneeland’s father’s shoulders, Travis spoke softly, his voice steady yet full of emotion: “Marshawn Kneeland wasn’t just a player on our team — he was the soul of it. His energy, his laughter, his fight… they’ll stay with us every time we step on that field.” For a moment, the chapel fell completely silent. Then Travis lowered his head, offering a quiet prayer. His words, unspoken yet deeply felt, carried through the room — a promise that Marshawn’s spirit would live on through the game he loved and the men who played beside him. By the time Travis stepped back, tears filled the eyes of teammates, family, and friends alike. In that small chapel, it wasn’t about football anymore. It was about brotherhood, grief, and the kind of love that refuses to fade — even after the final whistle.”
