Swifties are up in arms after packs of men booed Taylor Swift in Melbourne.
Australian fan Jenna Barlosky filmed the moment a group of alleged football fans started booing the superstar outside the MCG during her concert last night.
She uploaded the unbelievable act to TikTok, with Swifties around the world slamming their “embarrassing” behaviour.
Ms Barlosky even claimed that the police had to break up the commotion, however Victoria police told news.com.au they did not have a report relating to the incident.
This likely means it was police who were stationed at the concert already who moved things along.
“Football fans swarming Taylor’s concert to boo her,” she wrote on the video. “Even the police had to come get rid of them, as all the Swifties chanted Taylor’s name.”
The clip shows a huge group of people enjoying the concert from outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground and chanting Taylor’s name.
The camera then pans to groups of men donning football scarfs and beanies who begin to loudly boo and jeer.
“What the f**k? You guys are such losers,” she says, as they walk past her. “Why are you here? This is embarrassing. What the hell. This is so embarrassing.”
People in the comments were furious over the act, with some accusing the men of being “scared” of a “talented woman”.
“Men ruining everything,” one said. “They obviously have nothing better to do.”
“Is this serious? Are men really that threatened by a talented successful woman?” another asked. “Their need for attention is sad.”
“These poor little men, they are so scared of a woman’s powers that they thought embarrassing themselves was the way to go,” a fan added. “Imagine being this bothered by women having fun.”
In another similar video posted by a fan from a different angle, more people can be seen booing the singer as she performed inside.
“To all the soccer boys outside the MCG booing Taylor, FU,” TikTok user Grace wrote.
Similar scenes have occurred during Taylor Swift’s attendance at NFL games in the US.
When the singer went to her star athlete boyfriend Travis Kelce’s football games, she was regularly booed by the crowd as the megatron TV honed in on her multiple throughout the matches.
In response, the 34-year-old star kept it cool by smiling, waving and blowing a kiss to the audience.
“I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in,” Swift said.
“There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.
“I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads and Chads.”
Singer Adele shared her support for Swift on the eve of the Super Bowl earlier this month and slammed all the “Taylor haters”.
“I’m a bit torn because I kind of want the (San Francisco) 49ers to win, but I’m also a Chiefs fan,” she said on a clip posted to X, formerly Twitter.
“I think I want the Chiefs to win just because … Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.
“And all of you that are complaining about Taylor Swift being at games, get a f**king life, it’s her f**king boyfriend.”
Thousands of diehard fans will once again flock to the MCG on Sunday as the Melbourne leg the tour continues.
Swift will perform four shows at Sydney’s Accor Stadium next week.
