Taylor Swift Cancels Performance at Melbourne Horse Race; Animal Rights Advocates Cheer

Taylor Swift canceled her performance at Australia's Melbourne Cup horse-racing event, the Victoria Racing Club announced in a news release, NBC News reported.

The 29-year-old pop star was slated to headline the Lexus Melbourne Cup Day on Nov. 5 but had to pull out of the event because "changes to her Asian promo schedule" made it logistically impossible for her to be here, a music-booking agency said in the release. 

"To all of Taylor’s fans, we hope to see Taylor in Australia in 2020," the agency said.
