Karma is a queen, karma is the nine seats reserved for these Victorian kids

As Melbourne woman Angela Porras watched the mania over Taylor Swift tickets unfolding in Australia, she was acutely aware that for some of the pop star’s biggest fans, even attempting to get a ticket would be impossible.

After explaining who she was buying tickets for, Porras was suddenly offered free tickets from multiple people. She then decided to try her luck on a Taylor Swift fan page. Within about two weeks, more than nine tickets were donated, along with several boxes filled to the brim with merchandise and Taylor-themed gifts.“My office has been overwhelmed,” Porras said. “Someone even donated vouchers for two kids to get their hair done before the concert. It’s just such a beautiful community.

As someone who grew up in care herself, Isaacs understood what sort of impact these types of donations can have. After receiving the donated tickets, Porras said she messaged the foster and kinship care program managers asking them to encourage any Swifties to write down why they wanted to go to the Eras Tour. She then randomly selected nine children from across the system, bar one child whom Porras chose specifically.“There was one super Taylor fan. They could name all the albums and explained how her music inspires them to get through really tough times,” Porras said.

“There are certain hardships that come with having a care experience. It’s been really great to see fans acknowledge that and give this kind of support to the kids,” Porras said.“One group has been volunteering around the clock, not just to help young people in care, but also to connect about 300 people who haven’t managed to get tickets because of the experience with Marketplace. I can’t speak highly enough of this group of people.
