Taylor Swift Performs 1st Sydney Eras Tour Show After Delays from Rain and Nearby Lightning Strike
Travis Kelce, Katy Perry and Rita Ora were among the famous faces supporting Swift at her Eras Tour show in Sydney on Friday
A bit of rain can’t stop a Taylor Swift show!
On Friday, the “Love Story” hitmaker, 34, took the stage in Sydney to perform night one of her Eras Tour gig in front of an 81,000-strong crowd at Accor Stadium. However, things got off to a damp start after the stadium floor had to be evacuated due to a nearby lightning strike, as seen in a video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
“Please note, due to weather, show start time has been delayed. Stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions. Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you,” the stadium said in a statement before Swift’s performance.
As usual, the show attracted a star-studded audience, with Katy Perry, Rita Ora, and Taika Waititi were among the guests at Friday’s gig, as seen in a video shared by PopBase on X (formerly known as Twitter). And, of course, Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce was spotted in the audience. Several videos posted on X, showed the Kansas City Chiefs tight end entering the Sydney stadium and cheering on his girlfriend from a VIP tent.
The “Karma” musician, who was joined by Kelce, 34, in Sydney ahead of the shows, will perform at Accor Stadium on Feb. 24, 25, and 26, before heading to Singapore for the Mar. 2 show.
