Taylor Swift will take home a serious pay packet for her Australian concerts.
The American pop star will travel Down Under in February next year for The Eras Tour.
The 33-year-old will perform seven concerts – and earn $35million for her trouble, Perth Now reported on Sunday.
Not everyone is happy, with many fans fans of the star angry that she’s making so few stops during the tour.
Taylor will snub all but two of Australia’s major cities and is only scheduled for seven shows across Melbourne and Sydney, leaving Swifties over in Perth furious as they fork out thousands to see her.
Perth wasn’t the only city to get snubbed, as fans in Brisbane and Adelaide will also miss out on seeing their idol on home turf.
Tour sources have revealed the decision to stay in the southeast likely came from the Bad Blood hitmaker herself, reported Perth Now on Saturday.
‘With big tours like this, the directive would come from the artist,’ an insider told the publication.
‘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.’
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 as part of The Eras Tour.
She 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, 17 and 18 and Sydney shows on February 23, 24, 25 and 26.
