Taylor Swift Fan, 16, Tragically Slain on Way to the ‘Eras Tour’ in Melbourne


The Eras Tour has had its second catastrophe.

Mieka Pokarier, 16, was killed in a two-vehicle incident with a semi-truck while route to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour event in Melbourne, Australia, on Thursday.

While Mieka died on the spot, her 10-year-old sister Freya was taken to Sydney Westmead Hospital in critical condition and placed in an induced coma.

Meanwhile, their mother, who was driving the girls to the concert, was transferred to another hospital in stable condition.

Mieka was reportedly in the front passenger seat of her SUV when it collided with a semi-truck. Her younger sister was in the back.

The driver of the semi-truck was also sent to the hospital in stable condition.

Mieka’s father, Peter, shared his anguish on Facebook, stating, “My family and what I live for… I’m devastated!!!”

Karleigh Fox, the late teen’s godmother, expressed her anguish on her GoFundMe page, saying, “This was supposed to be a road trip of a lifetime, with them going to concerts in both Melbourne and Sydney.”

Previously, tragedy hit the Eras Tour again when Ana Clara Benevides, a 23-year-old fan, died of heatstroke in Rio de Janeiro.
