The South Australian, from Hillbank, told SAFM: “I'm a really big Swiftie, I'd do anything, obviously, if I missed a funeral.” “The body is being flown from Queensland, it's a really big deal, there's going to be so many There will be family members there and I’m prepared to upset everyone if they leave.”

To secure tickets, Khiara had to convince her shocked mother Jodie to give her blessing to miss the funeral, which is expected to take place in Adelaide at 1:00 p.m. ACDT (1:30 p.m. AEDT) on Friday.
Jodie angrily accepted before saying she was “disappointed”.
To the shock of listeners, Khiara then asked if her mother would travel with her to Melbourne to look after her one-year-old.
It comes after Taylor, 34, arrived in Australia to kick off her highly anticipated Eras Tour.
