They weren’t ready for it.
Two Australian Taylor Swift fans received the shock of a lifetime when they were personally invited by the singer to enter her VIP tent during the show in Melbourne, Australia on Sunday.
YouTubers Emily Hunt and Bonny Rebecca, who run the popular Swift-themed “Chats and Reacts” channel were sent further into a tizzy when the invites — as well as handwritten notes from the pop superstar — were delivered by none other than her father, Scott Swift, News.au. reported.
“Emily, hi! I’m so grateful to you and Bonny for how much you’ve cared about my music, and all the times you’ve referred to it as ‘iconic’ and ‘immaculate,’” Swift’s letter to Hunt read. “You’ve made me laugh and made me feel understood many times with your reviews. I love your wild joy and enthusiasm. That’s why I do this!”
“Have a blast tonight. Sending my love. Taylor. xoxo,” the sweet note concluded.
The megafans of the pop diva later shared their experience on Instagram.
“Today was a fairytale,” the in-depth post began. “We were lucky enough to be invited back to the ‘Eras’ tour for Melbourne night 3 to watch the show from the VIP section.”
“Scott (Taylor’s dad) came to the tent, he gave us handwritten letters from Taylor and then had a chat with us… He was the sweetest, kindest, most down-to-earth man,” the pair gushed. “He told us he loves our videos and was so happy we could be there. Oh, and of course gave us guitar picks.”
The pair then addressed both Swift, 34, and her father.
“Scott, thank you soooo much for being so kind and generous!! And Taylor, we cannot believe you took the time to write us letters thank you so much, we have never been so grateful and elated in all our lives,” the duo wrote.
“Watching the show from this spot was just beyond beautiful and spectacular! The visuals, the view of Tay, the vibes – IMMACULATE! Thank you @taylorswift we love you so much,” concluded the post.
Several of their followers have praised the statement.
“THE MOST DESERVING,” commented one fan. “I remember when Taylor liked the video I posted of you guys on TikTok saying I was waiting for your reaction to midnights that she must watch your videos. I love that it’s now confirmed. Adore you girls.”
“No one deserves it more,” agreed a second fan. “As a long-term watcher & Patreon member since the start, I am so glad that Taylor recognized the safe space you’ve created for swifties who didn’t have one. You’ve got me through my toughest days and this makes me the happiest, beyond happy for you both.”
“I’ve been watching you guys for 3 years now and when I saw this I lost it !!! you two deserve this so so so much,” a third fan stated.
The heartfelt letter from Swift come as the singer wrapped up the Melbourne leg of her world-renowned “Era’s” Tour to which she played to a whopping 288,000 people.
“Ninety-six thousand people the first night, 96,000 people the second night, 96,000 people tonight. All of that, those are all the biggest shows I’ve ever played on a tour, and you did it three times,” Swift told the screaming crowd at Melbourne Cricket Ground. “Melbourne, you are the love of my life. I cannot believe you, what have you done?”
“It’s just incredibly nice to do for someone. Make them feel welcome like that,” Swift said.
“Another thing that makes me feel very lucky, honestly, [is] standing here knowing I have the most incredible opening act on this tour,” the “Bad Blood” songstress continued, referring to her bestie Sabrina Carpenter, who has opened for Swift several times.
The singer’s comment comes mere days after a fan posted a clip of Swift on the social media site telling Friday night’s attendees that she was “starstruck” by the achievement, and that the performance was “the biggest show that we have done on this tour or any tour I have ever done.”
