Audience was hit and killed by a car while on his way to see the Taylor Swift show

The 16-year-old girl died in the accident, while her 10-year-old sister was transported to the hospital in a coma.

According to Page Six, two sisters who were spectators of Taylor Swift died after a fatal accident while on their way to see the pop superstar perform in Melbourne, Australia.

Mieka Pokarier, 16 years old, was sitting in the front seat of the car and died at the scene. While her 10-year-old sister, Freya Pokarier, was transferred to Westmead Hospital in Sydney in a critical condition and in a coma, according to Weekend Australian.

Mieka’s mother was driving from the Gold Coast to take her two children to see Taylor Swift’s concert when she collided with a pickup truck in New South Wales. She was taken to Dubbo Hospital in a stable condition and treated for minor injuries. The pickup truck driver only had minor scratches.

After the accident, Mr. Peter Pokarier, shared his pain. “My reason for living in this world is gone. I am very depressed,” he wrote on his personal page.

This is not the first time the press has recorded a case of an audience member dying while watching Taylor Swift’s show. In November 2023, the singer’s fan died due to excessive heat at the Eras Tour show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Ana Clara Benevides collapsed at a concert after waiting hours to enter the stage. She suffered heat stroke and was taken to the emergency room but did not survive. Taylor Swift met Benevides’ family at another location. The female singer expressed condolences for her fan’s death.

The plane carrying Taylor Swift from Hawaii, USA arrived in Melbourne, Australia at 0:49 a.m. February 15, after a nearly 11-hour journey. She is on tour at Melbourne Cricket Ground from February 16-18 and Accor Stadium in Sydney from February 23-26. The singer’s tour is expected to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the Australian economy, with more than 600,000 tickets sold.
