Taylor Swift Fan Admits To Almost Rejecting Kidney Transplant To Attend Eras Tour
An Australian Swifty, Tamara Gray, found herself deciding between treating a major health concern or attending Taylor Swift's "Lavender Haze" Sydney Eras Tour concert.
Gray, 35, was on her way to Swift's event when she got a call from the hospital saying they found a kidney for her transplant.
"I got a call from the hospital saying they had a kidney," she told the country's 9News. "I won't lie, there was a split second that I considered saying no [to the kidney], but, you know, I'm not crazy."
According to the news outlet, Gray never expected for the kidney to become available as she was heading to Gold Coast Airport that morning to board a flight which thankfully, got delayed.

"I have something called IgA nephropathy, so it's actually an autoimmune disease that attacks my kidneys," she began. "Obviously it was meant to be."
The mother has been on a registry for a kidney, explaining that she spends "15 hours a week predominantly on dialysis."
Her phone rang about ten minutes after the original scheduled departure, which she agrees was impeccable timing.

"If I was on that flight, basically I would've missed the call and there's only 30 minutes to answer otherwise they move on to the next recipient," she stated.
Her friends opted to go to the show without her but she's not holding any hard feelings about it. They've promised her they'll try another Swift concert before the Eras Tour ends.
"Now that I can travel after I've had a transplant, my friend said 'well we'll just go see her in Europe or something'," Gray stated.
Taylor Swift's international Eras Tour includes 151 shows running through Dec. 8 of this year, just five days before her 35th birthday.
