Taylor Swift has asked the Australian media to "take it down a notch" as she tours the country on her 1989 world tour.
The Grammy Award-winner has been Down Under for the past week playing her first show in Sydney before moving on to dates in Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne.
She took to to ask the local press to shake it off as she attempts to take a vacation on Queensland's Hamilton Island.
"Aussie press, I love your enthusiasm but my birthday isn't for 2 weeks and it'll be a quiet one this year," she said.
"Let's take it down a notch:)"
T-Swift, as she's known on the streets, called for a media ban on the island: a thing that is totally legal and doable thanks to Hamilton Island being privately owned by the Oatley family.

Although there are alledgedly some media outlets already on the island, Seven Sunrise reporter Michelle Tapper was escorted by "half a dozen security" back to the mainland after she attempted to get to shore.
"I have never heard anything like it in almost 20 years of journalism," the Brisbane correspondent told breakfast co-hosts Samantha Armytage and David Koch on-air.
Swift seems oblivious to the drama, however, continuing her love story with Australia by posting a shot of herself "making friends" with the local wildlife on Instagram.
Meanwhile the nation's "premiere bad bitch" Lee Lin Chin is still waiting for her inviation to join the Blank Space singer on stage in one of her famous concert cameos.
And if there's one thing you don't do, it's make Lee Lin wait.
