Be interesting to know why???

She's here 16th 17th & 18th...

The only work day is Friday.

I don't think the shop would hinder the sound check.

Is it some kind of merch deal? can't sell any other merch apart from Taylor stuff over a given time?

Can still buy online. 

 

Must admit I saw the email and thought they'd done a collaboration. Which would have been super smart lol

The large brown area is where the stage will be.

The MFC admin staff have to relocate and work from home and/or Casey and/or AAMI for 10 days. No functions will be held during this time. If a room that has windows which overlook the ground does have to be used during the lead-up to the concerts, the windows will be ‘blacked out.’ There are huge black curtains already erected between the concourse and the ground level seating. All this because Mz Swift demands total secrecy. She doesn’t want the details of her spectacle to be known before the event.

As for the Demon Shop, I was there today and asked about them shutting, and it seems one reason is because it’s not worth opening when there’ll be so few people wandering in and out of the ‘G. (Many people who visit the ‘G incorporate a visit to the Demon Shop.) I don’t know why they’re shutting for such a long time though.

I'd be flat out knowing any songs she sings, is she actually any good?

Not my type of music but my understanding is that she’s a really sound person so as long as she takes the Dee’s to be her team I’m happy for her to borrow our ground.

Of course she's good 'picket'...

You don't have her level of sustained success if you're not.

She's everywhere at the moment. 

Won't be able to watch the SB on Monday without seeing several shots of her in the audience.

I know songs by Beyonce, Madonna even Lady Gaga and I'm not into their music at all. I don't know a single Taylor swift song. 

Male equivalent of Ed Sheeran. Mass produced pop. Both huge. They obviously got talent but more for marketing than singing I'd say. Good luck to them.

Another reason to get our own facility, so we can (a) have our shop located somewhere that is reasonably accessible and (b) not be forced to shut down by international musicians.

That's where they've taken the drop-in wicket out. The main stage is at the city end.

It couldn’t be more hidden away if they tried. 😅 If you’re at Gate 6 at the ‘G you go down the steps that take you onto Brunton Ave., turn right on Brunton Ave and walk for about 5 minutes and you’ll find a little inconspicuous shop. Easy to walk straight past it and not notice (or maybe that’s just me 🙃).

Most importantly… phone ahead of time. They seem to be closed more often than open. Ignore the opening hours notice on the door, and even on the website, it’s not always accurate. I went there yesterday at 4:20 knowing it shuts at 5pm. It was shut and in darkness. I rang them… went to voicemail. I eventually got in but geez they don’t make it easy.

Spot on. I know people who are going to her concert and who also went to Ed Sheeran’s concert and they aren't even necessarily fans of either. FOMO abounds! 😁

....and yet no other international act performing at the MCG resulted in the Demon Shop being closed.  In fact when Billy Joel performed there, his drummer was wearing a Melbourne Guernsey, which he'd bought when he came across the Demon Shop while setting up.

What time frame are there no functions?  The Coterie Season Launch is advertised as being in the MCC Dining Room on 22 February.

When Tay Tay tickets went on sale it was like the country was in lockdown all over again. No one on the roads, in schools and playgrounds.

Her concerts will be done and dusted by then. The veil of secrecy is only there for the lead-up.

I find it highly amusing she has a "veil of secrecy" given she's performing the same show all around the world.  People bring phones, they post on social media.  She can insist on secrecy all she wants, but unless she's doing completely diffferent shows each night, it's pretty pointless.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
