If Taylor will not come to New Zealand, then the party will come to Taylor. Passengers aboard an Air New Zealand flying from Melbourne to Auckland brought the Taylor Swift afterparty home, with returning fans treated to a Swifty sing-along.
The pop-star’s hit Shake it Off was played aboard the four-hour NZ128 service back to New Zealand.
One passenger returning from the Eras concert described it as the “only correct way to fly home”, with the majority of travellers having seen the star at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Video shared to TikTok showed an enthusiastic and surprisingly tuneful singalong on one of the dozen additional services put on by the carrier to cope with demand.
Although a couple of passengers appeared to have their earpods in and eyelids closed, wishing they were anywhere else, the majority of travellers were keen to keep the party going.
