Shared on Facebook with the caption “Doing absolutely no favours to their international reputation, Americans have swarmed social media posts of Taylor Swift’s Melbourne concerts confused by a very obvious detail. Can you spot it?”

It’s an article from the Murdoch right-wing paper “The Australian”, so I won’t link the original source.

    I went to the Melbourne Cricket Grounds once during the Boxing Day Test Match. Public transportation was a breeze and a stroll through the surrounding parks was lovely.

    I got a Team Australia sombrero in the stadium as a silly souvenir and a stunningly beautiful Australian woman said, “I like your Mexico hat!” 10/10 experience. Would take public transport to MCG again.

      Melbourne public transportation is great.

      They do a huge amount of free trams to the F1 as well when that’s on.

      Transport here does have it’s… Interesting moments too. I used to ride a line often frequented by an older Indian woman… Who would get on the team and start screaming at anyone on their cellphone because it was rude. Fun times.
