Fans attending one of Taylor Swift‘s Sydney shows are being encouraged to wear special friendship bracelets in honour of a fellow-Swiftie who died on the way to her Melbourne concert.
Mieka Pokarier, 16, was killed when the SUV she was traveling in with her mother and sister collided with a semi-trailer near Dubbo, in central-west NSW at about 6pm on Thursday.
The family had been driving to Melbourne from the Gold Coast on the ‘trip of a lifetime’ to see Swift perform the Australian leg of her Eras tour.
She was airlifted to Westmead Hospital where she remains in a coma with brain injuries, a damaged pelvis and a broken leg.

Swift’s fans, known as Swifties, swap self-made bracelets with each other during concerts. They are being urged to make and share them in honour of Mieka, with her name on them.
In a post made to Taylor Swift Eras Tour Facebook page a fan called on Swifties to wear a friendship bracelet with Mieka’s name.
‘To honour them the family is asking everyone to wear a friendship bracelet with her name so its like she’s still there. Mieka is her name.’
‘I will also be handing out bracelets with her name in her honour as well.’
On Monday the children’s godmother Karleigh Fox, who organised a GoFundMe appeal, said Freya remains in a critical yet stable condition.
