Which is surprising as it wasn’t a Top 40 hit over there (only reached #82 on the Billboard charts)
Which is why many think the song was written for the campaign.

ASM Global chairman and CEO Harvey Lister had revealed Brisbane was originally on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour schedule with Sydney and Melbourne, but it was dropped after dates had to be adjusted for Tokyo plus Taylor wanting to give her crew a break.
“For the first time in her career, Taylor Swift unplugged,” he said at the Urbanity conference at The Star on the Gold Coast.
“One week on a world tour with nothing to do, that’s gold – she promised she’d take (her touring crew) to the Great Barrier Reef and they had a break.”
“I’ve got to hand it to her, she cares so much about her production that there’s no way she was going to take that week away from them. And so Brisbane didn’t get that opportunity.”

On this week’s ARIA Singles Chart, “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC has re-entered the top 50, more than 24 years after the song peaked at number one in the first half of 2000. This comes on the back of the song being featured in the film “Deadpool & Wolverine”.
Another debut of note is the single “I Love You, I’m Sorry” from Gracie Abrams.
Why is that a “debut of note”?
