Western Australia’s cricket squad faced travel issues due to American pop icon Taylor Swift‘s fans, who are also known as the ‘Swifties’. All direct flights to Sydney were sold out as the Swifties fans booked them for the Eras Tour.

As a result of this, the Western Australia squad had to split up, booking several indirect flights to the Australian capital for the Marsh Cup final. The final will be played on Sunday (February 25) at the Cricket Central, Sydney Olympic Park in Sydney against New South Wales.

Westers Australian player Andrew Tye, who also played for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022, expressed his frustration by joking that it would have been great if Swift offered the team her private jet.

It would've been nice if Taylor Swift had sent a private jet over for us, seeing as she's cost us a direct flight, but that's OK.
Tye was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo

Swift has been in the news over her use of her private jet during her Eras Tour. Because of this, the 14-time Grammy winner is facing criticism as the jet is releasing a lot of pollutants into the atmosphere.
