Australian Taylor Swift fans are buzzing with frustration as an extensive list of prohibited items for the pop star’s upcoming concerts has been revealed, courtesy of Frontier Touring. The tour organizer laid down some unconventional rules ahead of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Sydney and Melbourne, leaving fans bewildered and disgruntled.

Among the banned items are large signs, confetti, iPads, spray sunscreen, aerosol deodorant, and even battery packs. These restrictions have sparked ire among Swifties, who are expressing their discontent on various platforms.

The controversy doesn’t stop there. Even friendship bracelets, a staple of concert camaraderie, are subject to strict regulations. While fans can bring them into the venues, they are mandated to be worn strictly on patrons’ arms, with an absolute prohibition on carabiners, d-rings, or any similar accessories. This unexpected rule has set social media ablaze with fans questioning the rationale behind such constraints.

Drones and audio recording devices are labeled as ‘strictly prohibited’ within the concert venues. Furthermore, professional video or photography cameras are banned, although attendees are granted the liberty to film the concert on their smartphones. The regulation is seen as a mixed bag by fans, who appreciate the opportunity to capture moments on their phones but question the inconsistency in the banning of other recording devices.

In addition to these limitations, concertgoers have been cautioned against wearing clothing that might obstruct the view of fellow Swifties during the performance. This directive has stirred debate, with some fans questioning the practicality and fairness of such a rule.

Objects with the potential to cause a disturbance, such as airhorns, speakers, flashlights, and lasers, will be confiscated if brought into the concert premises. Tents and umbrellas are also on the list of forbidden items, leaving fans to ponder how to navigate unpredictable weather conditions during the outdoor concerts.

The ban on portable chargers has particularly irked fans, with many expressing their disbelief and frustration on social media. The absence of this essential item for charging devices is considered by some as a significant inconvenience, especially during long concerts.

The restrictions on friendship bracelets have also triggered a wave of dissatisfaction. Fans are grappling with the challenge of fitting hundreds of bracelets on their arms without the convenience of carabiners or similar attachments. The unexpected clampdown on these cherished concert mementos has left many Swifties disheartened.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Frontier Touring for comment, but the situation remains fluid.

Despite these controversies, Taylor Swift, who clinched her fourth Grammy Award for Album of the Year on Sunday, is poised to deliver sold-out performances in Melbourne and Sydney. The upcoming shows include three performances at the MCG on February 16, 17, and 18, followed by four concerts at Accor Stadium in Sydney on February 23, 24, 25, and 26.
