Oliver Mills' Unforgettable Encounter at Taylor Swift's Concert and the Strange Twist on The Project

 

Oliver Mills' Unforgettable Encounter at Taylor Swift's Concert and the Strange Twist on The Project

Taylor Swift's domination down under is in full swing, with a whopping 200,000 peeps catching her Eras Tour gig at Melbourne's MCG. Step right up for all the deets on Tay-Tay's Aussie takeover.

Swift's love affair with Melbourne hit its peak when she confessed her undying affection to the 96,000-strong crowd on the first two nights, then repeated the charm offensive on the third night. "Check this stadium girl math," she chirped, "96,000 folks on night one, same on night two, and you betcha, 96,000 again tonight. That's the biggest show tally I've ever seen in my tour life, and you did it thrice. Melbourne, you've stolen my heart."

Now, onto the real tea. Kiwi TikTok sensation Oliver Mills was living the dream at Swift's Saturday night spectacle, snagging a hug and even swiping a hat off the pop princess's head. But when he hit The Project on Sunday to spill the tea, things got hella weird. Comedian Susie Youssef dropped the strangest question bomb, asking Mills how Taylor smelt. Like, seriously? But Mills, being the smooth operator he is, didn't even flinch. He dropped the bomb that Taylor's aroma was a mix of "hope and dreams."

Mills couldn't stop gushing about his brush with greatness, labeling Taylor as the "most powerful woman in the world." "Getting up close and personal with someone as beautiful and kind as her was just unreal," he swooned. "Watching the vids now, I'm like, damn, that dude's lucky. Then it hits me, wait, that dude's me! The memory's engraved in my soul, man, it's wild."

Living in New Zealand, Mills is sweating bullets about getting that prized hat through customs. "I'm clueless where this baby's supposed to go, maybe in a max-security vault," he quipped. "With a squad of guards, we'll see how it plays out."

But not all Swifties had a fairy-tale night. Meg Hargraves called out some rowdy concertgoers who turned the gig into a hot mess. "A shoutout to karma for those four clowns next to me tonight," she ranted. "They were sloshed beyond belief, waving flags in everyone's faces, zero respect for personal space. Waste of a good ticket, if you ask me."

One of their crew got so wasted they had to bounce from the concert 'cause they couldn't hang. Ended up missing a fat chunk of the show, man.

Hargraves had to drop a word, talkin' 'bout "drink responsibly" at the Eras Tour, so we can all vibe without drama.

She was like, "They were straight up loud and rude to everyone around 'em. Missed most of the show 'cause one of 'em couldn't handle their liquor and dipped."

"So, the whole crew bounced and missed the illest part of the show. Like, a solid chunk, from '89 onwards. So, if you're gonna drink at the Eras Tour, do it right, yo. Don't mess up everyone's night."

Then you got Katie Parrott, another Swift fan, droppin' truth bombs. She was like, "Melbourne night two, Eras Tour, was lit AF."

"But lemme air out a gripe on concert manners. If you got a ticket to the Eras Tour and your plan is to get wasted, not even stand up straight, spill your drink on folks, slap 'em accidentally, invade their space..."

Oliver Mills

"...maybe sell your ticket and get wasted at home, bumpin' Taylor Swift. 'Cause mad people wanted in on this and couldn't snag tickets. Blowing it by getting so plastered you can't even stand? Just doesn't make sense to me, fam."

Then you got these fools outside the concert booing Taylor Swift. Straight up embarrassing, yo.

Jenna Barlosky caught it on camera, these alleged football heads throwing shade at Tay outside the MCG during her set. She posted it on TikTok, and Swifties worldwide ain't having it, callin' it out as straight-up whack.

Barlosky even said the cops had to step in, but Victoria police ain't got no official word on it. Prob'ly just the concert security moving them out.

"Foolish football fans rollin' up to Taylor's show to boo her," she wrote on the clip. "Even the cops had to come regulate, while all the Swifties were chantin' Taylor's name."

You peep the footage, and you see the crowd hyped, chanting Taylor's name. Then you got these dudes with football gear on, startin' to boo loud as hell.

"What the hell? Y'all straight up losers," she claps back as they walk by. "Why you even here? This is straight-up embarrassing. Get outta here with that nonsense."

Then, some nasty business went down with seats at the show. Pics came out of some wasted dude hurlin' all over the seats where peeps were chillin' waitin' for Tay Tay.

Apparently, folks were waitin' up to two hours for someone to clean up the mess. Happened around 7 pm, right after Sabrina Carpenter's set, and they ain't clean it up 'til 9 pm.

"We had to post up by the stairs most of Tay's set 'cause they took two hours to clean it up," said one fan. "Smelled nasty," she added.

"Yo, gonna catch mad hate for this, but hear me out. After that Taylor Swift ticket frenzy, I'm thinking we need a fairer deal, ya know?

Oliver Mills

So, Swift adds more gigs 'cause everyone's losing their minds tryna snag tickets. But check it, this dude Mitch drops a bomb, saying you should only get to see Taylor once in Oz. He's like, "Seen folks hitting up ten shows! Let others have a chance, damn!" Cue heated debate.

Over a mil peeps tryna cop tix, but only a fraction get lucky. And now, folks flexin' about hitting multiple shows got everyone heated.

Some sayin', "I feel ya, missed out too." Others shootin' down the idea, like, "Nah, if you slept, you lost."

Swift's Eras Tour gonna make bank, like $1.5 billion. Crazy, right?

Then there's Swift stans worldwide trippin' over the bonus treats she droppin' during her Aussie gigs. Surprise songs, new album teasers - got everyone jelly who ain't there.

And peeps from the States noticin' somethin' too. They're like, "Yo, why Aussie vids so crystal clear?" Speculatin' it's the air quality or maybe them Aussie phones. Who knows, man?"

So, check it, Mieka Pokarier, this teenage chick, was all hyped to catch Swift live. She was vibin' on her iPad, peepin' her dope Spotify playlist stacked with Swift's sickest jams. She'd been grindin' for hours curatin' that playlist, makin' sure her and her squad were lit for the 17-hour roadie to see the pop queen.

Mieka, her mom Kim, and her little sis Freya, were on this epic road trip when bam! Their ride got wrecked by a semi-truck near Dubbo. Mieka bit it right there, while Freya got airlifted to the hospital, hangin' on by a thread in a coma with mad injuries. Kim, the mom, got lucky with just some minor scratches.

Now, on a lighter note, peeps at Swift's show in Melbourne were losing their minds when she dropped a sick Aussie reference during "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." She straight-up personalized the jam, passing the mic to one of her dancers who dropped a classic Kath and Kim-style "nauuuuuur."

Earlier, Swift was feelin' all kinds of hype at her Eras Tour in Melbourne, shoutin' out to the massive crowd of 96,000. She was like, "Yo, Melbourne, this is wild! Can't believe y'all showed up like this!" She was on some contest winner vibes, grateful AF for the love and promising to give everything she had that night.
