No disrespect to Taylor Swift but that’ll be a tough gig to pull off given the staging...🤔
Boycott her! 9NewsAUS
Wouldn’t bother
I'd be more interested if they coukd get Tay-Tay to race against Camilla & Sarah Jessica... Oh, with no mics involved thanks.
So grouchy old men don't like her? What a surprise
And will probably be lip synching!
I’m surprised taylorswift13 supports animal cruelty 🤷🏻♂️

Another reason to avoid going
Not sure. If she does a lap of the track in a batmobile then you will have won me over...
Got to get young people into gambling anyway you can....
Could not of got anyone else 🤷 apparently not 🤦

Tayla Harris's kick immortalised in bronze statue unveiled in MelbourneCarlton AFLW player Tayla Harris says she hopes a statue of an iconic kick performed by her on the field will serve as a message and turning point for Australian society. When this is worthy of a statue everything is. But no I'm pig headed, let's keep celebrating people who propel air filled sacks about for our entertainment. All very nice but hardly deserves a bronze statue at this point in time. Great one :)
