Taylor Swift fans have been left fuming after seeing the list of rules required for those attending the pop star's Australian concerts.
The 34-year-old global superstar is set to kick off the Australian leg of the Eras tour at Melbourne's Cricket Ground for three nights in a row, starting on February 16.
Swift will then travel to Sydney, where she will perform at the Accor Stadium for four nights from February 23-26 before heading to Singapore to conclude the Asia-Pacific concerts.
The 'Karma' songstress - who recently won Album of the Year for Midnights (2022) at the 2024 Grammy Awards - will be supported on this leg of the tour by singer Sabrina Carpenter.
Frontier Touring, the touring company in charge of Australian concerts, took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (February 7) to share a long list of dos and don'ts for Swifties attending.
"The Eras Tour kicks off in Aus soon, so here are all the important deets before you head to the show!" the tweet read. "Have Qs? Let us know!"
The caption was accompanied by a series of infographics.
Check out the tweet below:The first graphic listed set times, with gates opening at 4.30PM to the show starting at 6.20PM. The second infographic is what enraged fans as it noted what they could and couldn’t take.
Swifties have been told that they can only carry one bag per person, smaller than A4 in size and with a maximum of two compartments. They can take their friendship bracelets, but they must be worn on their arms, not dangling off a D-ring or carabiner.
The stadium allows fans to film with mobile phones but professional video or still photography cameras are forbidden, as well as iPads, GoPros, tripods, drones, and selfie sticks.
The third infographic contains a long list of what not to take to the concert, such as laptops, tablets, and readers, signs any larger than 28cm x 45cm, umbrellas, tents, camping chairs, confetti, or torn paper.
Other prohibited objects include prams or strollers, clothing or personal items that could block another's view, airhorns, speakers, or instruments, torches, lasers or battery packs, and aerosols (including sunscreen and deodorant).
The restricted rules also state that any food or beverage from outside the concert venue will not be allowed, but you can bring one sealed, soft plastic water bottle no larger than 600ml.
Swifties across the world have been making friendship bracelets that reference her songs, albums, and lyrics to swap at her tour. In America, fans have been able to get into stadiums with hundreds of bracelets attached to carabiners.
Many fans were left stunned by the rules, as one even demanded: "Fix these rules, this is [ridiculous] some of us went out of our way to make friendship bracelets shower rings or [carabiners] are not dangerous seriously???? Are we [allowed] portable chargers like I'm so confused no battery packs??? Be [serious]."
Another chimed in: "Help I’ve made too many bracelets HOW AM I MEANT TO CARRY ALL OF THEM ON MY WRISTS?!??!!!???"
A third slammed: "Hey @frontiertouring you literally have disabled and chronically ill people scared to death crying because you’re only allowing cups of water on the floor in the hottest month in Australia at a 4+ hour show. Once again the lack of information is showing your ableism. So unfair."
A fourth added: "Yes I have lots of Qs. Why can’t we bring carabiners into the stadium? how do [you] expect us to carry all our bracelets? why can’t we bring sunscreen? do you want us to burn? why can’t we bring chargers??? ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS."
In a statement provided to 7LIFE, a spokesperson for Frontier clarified some of the rules, sharing: "D-rings aren’t allowed for the safety of patrons, as they’re a potential item that can be thrown.
"The battery pack refers to commercial-sized battery chargers," they continued. "Personal phone chargers smaller than the size of a phone will be permitted. We are updating the FAQs to clarify for fans at the moment."
