As thousands flock to Sydney's Accor Stadium to see Taylor Swift over the weekend, ticketless fans have found a second-best way to pass the time.
Swifties who missed out on tickets to her sold-out shows in Melbourne and Sydney are instead securing tickets to Reputation: The Ultimate Taylor Swift Show Tour with Australian singer-songwriters Ella and Sienna.
The sisters, who appeared on The Voice Australia in 2022, are traveling from Adelaide to Sydney this weekend to see Swift in concert before launching their own series of tribute shows to the US pop megastar.
Ella and Sienna promise a 90-minute show that will travel through each of Swift's ten “eras,” with their first appearance at the Adelaide Fringe Festival next Thursday, February 29.
They play 20 dates across the country, finishing in Cairns on Saturday June 22nd.
As thousands flock to Sydney's Accor Stadium over the weekend to see Taylor Swift, several fans have other ideas
“We’re not a typical tribute act,” says Ella, 21.
“We have a full band and we put our own spin on the songs. Not only do we play all the hits, but we also draw inspiration from their live performances and intros from stadium tours and ceremonies like the Grammys.”
The young ladies are pleased with the overwhelming ticket sales, which sell for just $36.75.
“Ticket sales are crazy this week,” Ella continued.

Ella and Sienna aren't the only talents offering Swifties alternatives.
Last weekend, 29-year-old Filipino drag queen Taylor Sheesh took to Melbourne's Federation Square and treated thousands of fans who didn't get Eras tour tickets to a 90-minute reenactment.
The drag star has been professionally impersonating the global megastar since 2017 and gave around 10,000 people a free lip sync performance in the city.
Speaking to ABC, Sheesh revealed that she had to constantly re-watch social media videos to perfect the recreation of the concert.

“Even though I've seen it a million times to memorize and practice her nuances, her smiles and her choreography,” she said.
Taylor Swift arrived in Australia last week and has already performed three shows in Melbourne from February 16th to 18th.
She has a few days off before taking the stage in Sydney from February 23-26.
She is scheduled to perform in Singapore from March 2nd, meaning she only has four days off between performances.
