Taylor Swift is performing at the Melbourne Cup Carnival

Bigger than Wynx?

In a twist that no one saw coming, the race that stops the nation will now host arguably the biggest musician in the world.

Straight up trumping Paul Kelly at the AFL Grand Final, it will be Swift’s only public appearance in Australia following the release of her seventh album, Lover.

Swift will perform in the Mounting Yard, meaning everyone with a general admission ticket to the event will be able to watch her perform.

Melbourne Cup Day falls on November 5 this year. Buy tickets here.
