Taylor Swift fans will fly anywhere to see her

I come bearing news about a huge music concert!

Aren’t you a bit behind the times, love? Glastonbury was a couple of weekends ago and everyone’s thoroughly bored of hearing about it.

No, silly, I’m obviously not talking about Glastonbury. I’m talking about the other mᴀssive music event on everyone’s lips.

It’s not a karaoke night, is it? I simply refuse to go to another one of those dreadful things with you.

Have you been living under a rock? I’m talking about Taylor Swift’s Eras world tour.

Oh God, she’s not the leggy one with the red lipstick who sang that infuriating Shake It Off song, is she?

That’s the one. And by the way, you don’t seem to mind belting out her songs when you’ve had one too many rosés.

I can’t be held accountable for anything I do after a few glᴀsses of wine. Anyway, why should I care about Taylor Swift’s big old tour?

Because all anyone has talked about is their desperate attempts to get tickets for the tour since they went on sale last week. You see, you can sign up to buy a ticket to watch Swift perform anywhere in the world, from Poland to Singapore. These tickets are harder to get than Glastonbury ones.

You won’t catch me forking out for a flight to go to see that woman. I’d rather pay to sit on a beach somewhere lovely and H๏τ with a mojito.

Well, you’re clearly alone in that opinion. The Australian airline Qantas has just been forced to add more than 60 new flights with 11,000 seats to its schedules, to meet the demand from all the Swifties who will happily fly to the other side of the world to see her next year.
