Swift will perform two shows at the MCG – likely to draw a crowd close to 100,000 each – then three at Sydney’s Accor Stadium, with a regular capacity of about 83,500.

The Australian shows will also feature a performance from American singer – and actress – Sabrina Carpenter.

Swift, one of the biggest music superstars in the world, has more than 90 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has produced hits such as Blank Space and Anti-Hero.

Her 2022 album, Midnights, broke sales records – including more than half a million vinyl copies worldwide sold in its first of week of release. More than 10,000 were sold within a week in Australia.

Swift will perform 50 shows across the world from August until her final show in August 2024.

Swift will also take her tour to Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Singapore, France, Sweden, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and Poland.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese declared himself a fan of Swift – popularly known as a ‘Swiftie’ – last week on Perth radio station Nova.

“I think she’s terrific, and I think that she’s empowering young women. If people actually listen to Shake It Off, the lyrics are fantastic ... I quite enjoy her,” Albanese said.

Swift will perform in Melbourne on February 16 and 17, and in Sydney on February 23, 24 and 25.

More to come.
