For many Taylor Swift fans, attending the Eras Tour is an unmissable opportunity.

Queensland mum Tamara Gray is forgoing Taylor Swift's Sydney concert because of a life-changing phone call.

The 35-year-old had been on a register for a kidney transplant and never expected a donation to become available as she headed to Gold Coast Airport this morning to board a delayed flight to Sydney."I won't lie, there was a split second that I considered saying no , but, you know, I'm not crazy," she said.

"I have something called IgA nephropathy, so it's actually an autoimmune disease that attacks my kidneys."The timing was somewhat of a miracle for Gray."Because if I was on that flight, basically I would've missed the call and there's only 30 minutes to answer otherwise they move on to the next recipient.Her friends decided to still attend the show however there is no bad blood between them.

"Now that I can travel after I've had a transplant, my friend said 'well we'll just go see her in Europe or something'," Gray said.
