Swifties were left deflated this morning after an events company announced that Maroon 5 will be performing in South Africa next year, following two days of cryptic hints alluding to Taylor Swift coming to South Africa.
Taylor Swift fans speculated that the American singer would be coming to South Africa after Big Concerts made an announcement of a big headline act coming to SA in the new year and an email from Discovery Vitality that seemed to be Taylor-coded, according to some avid fans.
The email opened with a statement saying, “We’re entering a new era in 2024…Are you ready for it?” followed by the phrase “moving swiftly towards 2024″.
The Swifties shared their disappointment on social media. Some of the comments read:
“How’s your heart, after breaking mine”
“Okay but why use Taylor swift lyrics in the email?!”
“The biggest disappointment of 2023”
“so no taylor swift…”
