Due to overwhelming demand, Frontier Touring has confirmedd that mega superstar Swift will be adding a third and final Melbourne show to The 1989 World Tour on Thursday 10th of December, following the sold out Friday 11th and Saturday 12th shows.

This will be Aussie fans' last chance to watch the biggest performer in the world at the peak of her career, and no further dates will be added to the tour. "..almost feels as if you are in a different world" said Swift of the tour experience.

Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour - Australia 2015


The 1989 World Tour has garnered excellent reviews across Europe, Asia and North America since it began in Tokyo earlier this year:

'NEVER ONE TO DO THINGS HALFWAY, SWIFT HAS MADE THIS A POP SHOW — OR RATHER THE POP SHOW, AS FAR AS 2015 IS CONCERNED.' - ROB SHEFFIELD, ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE

‘PLAYING TO 65,000 PEOPLE, TAYLOR SWIFT'S 1989 WAS EVERYTHING WE WANTED IN A CONCERT… A SHOW OF LIGHTS, GLITTER AND KICK-ASS SISTERHOOD, SWIFT TOLD THE AUDIENCE SHE WOULD "REMEMBER THIS NIGHT FOR THE REST OF [HER] LIFE" AND, WELL, AFTER THAT PERFORMANCE TAYLOR, SO WILL WE.’ - ALICE HOWARTH, GLAMOUR MAGAZINE

'[THE 1989 WORLD TOUR] IS THE OBVIOUS END RESULT OF OPERATION 1989 WORLD DOMINATION' - ERIN STRECKER, BILLBOARD MAGAZINE

Taylor Swift is now one of the biggest pop icons on the planet - and has made over 140 million album sales and sold over eight million copies of her fifth album "1989".

Currently, she is the only artist to have had three albums sell in excess of more than a million copies in the first week of release: 1989, Red and Speak Now. Swift was also the only artist to have two consecutive singles take the number one spot on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart in 2014, dethroning her own hit "Shake It Off" with "Blank Space". This year, Swift's single "Bad Blood" became the fourth-consecutive number 1 release from album 1989.

On top of that chart success, Swift has also received seven Grammy Awards, 16 AMAs and 22 Billboard Music Awards, along side Country Music Award's Entertainer of the Year and Billboard's Woman of the Year. Her album 1989 was awarded iTune's Album of the Year in 2014.

Special guest Vance Joy (Melbourne's own singer-song writer) will be the supporting act for the tour. The gifted musician has been on tour with Swift for the whole leg of the show, which sees him performing to a huge fan base across the world for the remainder of the year.

About Pink Ribbon Day
Every day in Australia, around 50 women are told they have breast or a gynaecological cancer. Sadly around 12 Australian women will die from women's cancers each day.

Thanks to advancements in cancer research and prevention, the five year survival rate for breast cancer has increased by 17% from 1982 to 2012. The five year survival rate for women with a gynaecological cancer increased by 7% in the same period.

Your donations big and small, help Cancer Council work towards better treatments and prevention, provide hope for more survivors and support for women diagnosed with breast or a gynaecological cancer.

Jerry Hall Bringing The Graduate to Sydney

Jerry Hall bringing The Graduate to Sydney

Jerry Hall is reprising her role as seductress Mrs Robinson for the very last time in the Sydney season of The Graduate.

Having already wowed audiences in this iconic piece of American culture in the West End, on Broadway and in Perth and Melbourne, Hall will make her way to Sydney's Lyric Theatre for a strictly limited season starting December 2.

'I am so thrilled the stars have finally aligned and I am bringing the sultry Mrs Robinson to Sydney,' the Texan Hall said in a statement.

'As this will be the last time I play this role it makes the Sydney season very special to me.

Adapted from Charles Webb's novel and the Oscar winning film, The Graduate is both a poignant coming of age story and a dark comedy.

The play is set against a soundtrack of some of the most memorable songs of the sixties including Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys, Everybody's Talkin' by Harry Nilsson and, of course, The Sound Of Silence and Mrs Robinson by Simon Garfunkel.

NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Stuart Ayres, said the NSW Government was 'delighted' to have secured the farewell season of The Graduate through tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, and anticipated the production would deliver more than $1.6 million to the NSW economy.
