'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,' she wrote.

'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:)'

This morning Sunrise reporter Michelle Tapper told Yahoo7 Entertainment she was "detained" before being "booted off Hamilton Island" while trying to cover the singer's holiday time Down Under.

Security took the crew's equipment and an escort was sent to follow Tapper when she went to the toilet.

Tapper said she was told Tay Tay had asked for an “entire media ban on the Island” – despite other outlets camping out and still taking photographs of the star’s ‘private time’.
