Taylor Swift shakes off Seven reporterSwift fans upset by lack of Sydney surprise guestTaylor Swift's NZ music video causes upsetSwift's near perfect show
Taylor Swift has issued a plea to the Australian media to give her space while touring the country for her 1989 concerts.
The pop music doyen warned journalists to "take it down a notch" on her Instagram on Wednesday night following frenzied media coverage of her every move. 
Swift, 25, is currently on holidays on Hamilton Island with 125 members of her crew who she is putting up as a thank-you for their hard work.
The singer will also perform an exclusive concert for 40 fans on the luxurious holiday island before playing in Brisbane on Saturday night.
Swift turns 26 the day after her final Melbourne show, with speculation she will return to Hamilton Island where she will be joined by her famous "squad" of supermodel girlfriends.
On Instagram, she insisted she would have a quiet birthday and asked the media to give her space.
"Aussie press, I love your enthusiasm but my birthday isn't for two weeks and it'll be a quiet one this year. Let's take it down a notch," she wrote.
So stoked to be able to take my band and crew on a vacation at the end of a long and wonderful tour. For all their hard work this year, they really deserve it. Thank you to Hamilton Island for taking such great care of 125 of the people who work tirelessly to make sure the 1989 World Tour stage gets built, the lights are on, the costumes are made, the guitars are tuned, and the show goes on. Aussie press, I love your enthusiasm but my birthday isn't for 2 weeks and it'll be a quiet one this year. Let's take it down a notch:)

The warning comes after a Seven reporter was kicked off the island on Wednesday for trying to film there with a cameraman.
Sunrise Queensland Correspondent Michelle Tapper said she had been asked to leave by Swift's security detail because the singer wanted privacy.
""There is a complete media ban on the island and Taylor Swift has asked for privacy," Tapper said during a live-cross on a boat floating off-shore.
"I have never heard anything like it in almost 20 years of journalism."
Hamilton Island management later issued a statement to Fairfax Media, saying it was their decision alone to evict journalists.

"In this case it was clear the intention of the media outlets concerned was solely to disturb the privacy of a number of Hamilton Island guests without their knowledge or consent," it read.
The Bad Blood singer, who is estimated to be worth $US200 million, is also travelling with her brother and mother, posting a photo with her sibling in New Zealand earlier this week where she filmed a new video clip.
The singer said she was "stoked" to be able to give her crew a holiday, saying they deserved a break.
"So stoked to be able to take my band and crew on a vacation at the end of a long and wonderful tour. For all their hard work this year, they really deserve it," Swift wrote on Instagram.
