To attend Taylor Swift’s tour, a 16-year-old Mieka Pokarier was killed in a two-vehicle crash with a semi-truck en route to the Eras Tour show in Melbourne, Australia, on Thursday.

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

Meanwhile, their mother – who was driving the girls to the show – was taken to another hospital in stable condition.

The last thing Mieka Pokarier did before she died was open a Taylor Swift playlist on Spotify. Photo: supplied

While her younger sister sat in the back, Mieka was reportedly seated in the front passenger seat when her SUV had a head-on collision with a semi-truck.

Previously, tragedy struck the Eras Tour once more when a 23-year-old fan, Ana Clara Benevides passed away due to heatstroke in Rio de Janeiro.
