Taylor Swift’s Album Party in Sydney Turns out to be a Super Spreader

The celebration event of Taylor Swift’s recent release ‘Red (Taylor`s Version)’ in Sydney has become a great cause of concern for health officials. 

More than hundred fans who gathered for the party last week tested positive for Covid -19. 

Around 600 people had checked into the event. 

According to health officials “at least 97 cases” have been confirmed after fans gathered to attend the ‘On Repeat: Taylor Swift Red Party.’

The pop star however was not present in the party and she had no connection with the event whatsoever. 

The fans have been asked to isolate themselves by health officials. 

NSW released a statement, “NSW Health is urgently contacting 600 people who attended Metro Theatre at this time and checked in via the QR code and is directing them and members of their households to immediately get tested and follow public health advice.”

“NSW Health is appealing for anyone who attended but did not check in using the QR code to urgently get tested and isolate and for the community to ensure other potential attendees are aware of this advice”, the statement  read. 

“NSW Health is reminding everyone of the importance of maintaining COVID-safe practices as the transmission is occurring at social events during the festive period,” the statement further added. 

The authorities have also alerted people about the fines for those "who fail to comply with the isolation, testing and quarantine requirements."

Ms Swift gifted her fans the re-recording of her hit 2012 album 'Red', last month. It is the second album she rerecorded after releasing ‘Fearless (Taylor's Version)' in April. 

The singer decided to re-record her previous six albums after music manager Scooter Braun purchased the masters to them in 2019. Her hope was that the updated takes on the original songs would give her back control of her discography.
