What you can and can’t bring to Taylor Swift’s Melbourne concerts

Large signs, confetti and audio recording devices are some of the things on the long list of banned items for Taylor Swift’s upcoming Melbourne concerts.

Taylor Swift’s tour promoters have posted a long list of items that will be banned from her sold-out stadium shows.

“Be sure you know what you can and can’t bring into the venue,” promoter Frontier Touring said in a social media post on Wednesday.

Swifties hoping to communicate their love to the pop queen via signage will have to keep the message small.

Confetti celebrations are also not advised.

And friendship bracelets are also subject to certain conditions.
