The Sydney, Australia event held by fans in celebration of Taylor Swift’s recent release of Red (Taylor’s Version) has turned out into a Covid 19 super spreader after close to 100 attendees tested positive. According to Fox News, fans who gathered at the December 10 Sydney event–On Repeat: Taylor Swift Red Party in celebration of the singer’s Red (Taylor’s Version) are reportedly being asked to ‘immediately get tested’ and isolate for seven days after ‘at least 97 positive cases’ have been confirmed.

New South Wales Health Department has also tagged Metro Theatre in Sydney as a ‘new venue of concern’ following the celebration of Taylor’s rerelease of the album. “NSW Health is asking all household contacts of close contacts to get tested and self-isolate until a negative result is received by everyone in the household,” Fox News quoted NSW’s report issued in a public health alert. The statement notes, “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
