Keen Swiftie Mansi Nand, 22, is trying to score a piece of the red leaf-shaped confetti that was blown on stage during a 10-minute song – and is willing to pay to get one.

‘This is a very big ask but if anyone knows of anyone that got red leaves confetti, I’m willing to pay money for it. It would mean the world,’ she posted on social media.

Nand told the Herald Sun she would be willing to pay up to $30 for some of the ‘rare confetti’ that was blown to the audience during a show-stopping encore.

‘It’s just a little keepsake memory that I can remember such an amazing artist and everything she has done for fans with not only Eras Tour but also all tours,’ she said.

‘I have unfortunately not been successful in finding confetti just yet but we still have Sydney shows to go so fingers crossed.’

Meanwhile, other concertgoers who managed to score some of the coveted confetti have seized the opportunity by selling individual pieces online, to many eager fans.

The megastar, 34, took to the stage for the biggest performance of her career on Friday as she sang for 96,000 fans to kick off the Australian leg of her hotly-anticipated tour.

It marked her first tour Down Under since 2018, and thousands of eager Swifties descended on Melbourne’s MCG hours ahead of the show in excitement.

The fans were desperate to get their hands on merchandise as they queued up at the outdoor stands to get their branded Eras clothing and other merchandise.

Photographs of the jam-packed stands ahead of the show revealed the prices Swifties were willing to pay to get their hands on the much-desired items.

Posters were priced at $40, while a tour hoodies cost a staggering $120, and T-shirts were priced at $65.

Water bottles were priced at a huge $40 and canvas tapestries were available to buy for $55, with fans queuing up ahead of the shows to purchase the goodies.

After playing to over 300,000 fans in Melbourne, Swift will next perform four packed out concerts at Accor Stadium in Sydney on February 23, 24, 25, and 26.
