Leader of the Government Proclaims ‘I’m a Dedicated Fan of Taylor Swift’ Before Taylor Swift Concert in Sydney
A fervent Taylor Swift fan requested the Prime Minister to relinquish his ticket on the radio, but Mr. Albanese recommended that the radio station assist her instead.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that he is a “real Swiftie” following a fan’s plea to obtain his ticket for the concert in Sydney.
Taylor Swift, a billionaire, is scheduled to perform on Feb. 23 as part of her Eras Tour at Accor Stadium. Her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, has recently arrived in Sydney from Vegas on Ms. Swift’s private jet.
During an interview with 2DayFM, a fan implored the Prime Minister for his ticket and even offered to help him with his campaign in exchange.
“I would do anything for these tickets. I will campaign for you. What do you want? I’m a huge fan of you, but I’m a bigger fan of Taylor,” the fan said.
In response, Mr. Albanese asserted, “I am going on Friday night and I am a real Swiftie.”
Even though Mr. Albanese did not surrender his ticket, he did suggest that the radio station might be able to help the adoring fan with a ticket.
