Shared on Facebook with the caption “Doing absolutely no favours to their international reputation, Americans have swarmed social media posts of Taylor Swift’s Melbourne concerts confused by a very obvious detail. Can you spot it?”

It’s an article from the Murdoch right-wing paper “The Australian”, so I won’t link the original source.

Underneath this photo is the article title “The MCG show detail that has American Swifties baffled” and byline “by Sam McPhee”.

    Honestly? Yes, it’s a much funnier joke than the ones I was seeing on Facebook. Those were all like “oh, crickets? Must be really noisy!” and other jokes pretending to think people were talking about insects. There were so many of them and they were all inane. This one about Parliament gave me a much better chuckle.
