Nova’s Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie moved a ten-year-old Swiftie to tears on Friday morning after surprising her with two tickets to Taylor Swift’s Sydney concert.
The radio stars were discussing their recent competition where listeners could score Eras Tour tickets by beating the hosts at a game of paintball and how one keen father had narrowly lost out.
‘We met a beautiful family from Scone, rural NSW. What was exciting though was the Dad, Pete, that was there. He was the actual one playing paintball,’ Wippa began.
‘He was desperately trying anything he could to try and win tickets for his daughter Olivia… Unfortunately Pete got shot by Kate so was out. Olivia was on the sidelines crying.’
The hosts quickly decided they couldn’t leave the youngster feeling disappointed so Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli and Kate Ritchie hopped on a plane to Scone to gift the family two free tickets.

Upon arriving, Olivia was moved to tears when she saw the hosts were giving her a free pass to see her idol in person.
‘We were so moved by how much you love Taylor and how great your family was… We just thought we’ve got to get the last two tickets to our girl Olivia,’ Wippa told her.
Olivia then burst into tears and thanked the pair, telling them their extraordinary act of kindness meant so much to her.

Taylor Swift’s Sydney leg of her Eras tour kicks off on Friday evening at Accor Stadium.
To ensure fans don’t miss out of any of the toe-tapping marathon, comprising of 44 songs, some helpful hints have circulated online.
Given the show’s over three-hour length, many Swifties have debated on when to take a toilet break – While some have suggested extreme measures such as wearing adult diapers to not miss a single song, others have suggested less extreme options.

Luckily for Sydney, Melbourne concertgoers have shared their experiences to help work out the best time to go.
The obvious choice is to run to the loo after Sabrina Carpenter’s support set – but Melbourne Swifties have warned the queues then are enormous.
However, in between each ‘era’, it’s been revealed Taylor spends a couple of minutes offstage for outfit changes.
Swift is set to perform four shows in Sydney from Friday, February 23 through to Monday, February 26.
