The pop superstar has previously graced the Perth stage on her ‘Speak Now’ and ‘Red’ tours,  with US Billboard magazine estimating that the 2013 tour picked up nearly 22, 000 fans and grossed $2.8 million.

Taylor’s 1989 album eclipsed Australia’s ARIA charts by achieving the fastest selling album of 2014 in only 4 days undoubtedly leaving her mark on Australia’s music scene.

Perth fans have taken this decision to heart, penning open letters and tweets begging the singer to reconsider this decision.

 

 

 

Tour promoter Michael Gudinski explained to ‘The West Australian’ that the decision was made with the Taylor’s management team, that it was impossible to play both cities.

“Taylor’s management and I felt that Adelaide shouldn’t miss out again,” he said.

“It’s as simple as this – Adelaide missed out on the (Red) tour, Perth misses out this time.”

With one tour listed in each city there is no doubt that the tickets will sell quickly, beginning November 28 in Sydney and ending December 11 in Melbourne allowing plenty of gaps for additional shows once they sell out.

Tickets go on sale on December 12 from Ticketek.
