Following Taylor Swift’s epic Australian concerts, Swifties are snapping up tickets for Reputation: The Ultimate Taylor Swift Show performed by The Voice sisters Ella and Sienna.
The talented duo, who made The Voice judge Rita Ora’s top six, announced their tour dates before the US superstar confirmed hers, and are keeping the Taylor Swift party alive by touring Australia including a show at the Drifters Wharf, Gosford, on April 19.
“We have an incredible full band and do our own twist on the songs,” 21-year-old Ella said.
“As well as playing all the hits, we take inspiration from her live performances and intros from stadium tours and ceremonies like the Grammys.
“We don’t think of the show as a tribute in the traditional sense because we’re not attempting to impersonate her.
“The show is more of a celebration, just one huge party, where all the Swifties can get together and rock out to all of our favourite songs.
“While we still play all of the hits, we make sure to add some more deep cut tracks and mashups with our own twist.”
The Adelaide-born singer songwriters went to Swift’s Sydney show and recently visited Nashville, stocking up on Taylor-esque fashion and writing songs in a studio owned by Liz Rose, who has penned 16-plus songs with the superstar, including her Grammy-winning White Horse.
“We also have the full outfits and take inspiration from seeing what her fans and everyone else wears to her tours, and even have a suitcase containing only cowboy boots – we must have about 20 pairs,” 19-year-old Sienna said.
Ella and Sienna got their inspiration for the Reputation tour after performing a Taylor Swift tribute concert at last year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival and performed again to a sold-out crowd earlier this month.
They’ve even converted their male band members into Swifties, including Freddie Bailey – also from The Voice – who is on lead guitar and made it into The Voice judge Keith Urban’s top six.
“The boys love music from all different genres but we’ve definitely converted them, and now they’re huge Swifties like us,” Sienna said.
