Scott Morrison and his family managed to score prime seats for Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated Eras Tour in Sydney on Friday night.
The former Prime Minister shared a photo of himself, dressed in pink, at the concert on the ground floor of the Accor Stadium alongside his wife Jenny and daughters Lily and Abbey.
Friday night marks Morrison’s third appearance at a Swift concert, having seen her tour her albums Reputation and 1989 in previous years.
Other notable faces in the crowd at Swift’s first night in Sydney included Rita Ora, Katy Perry, current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the superstar’s boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Weather warnings had initially halted the start of the show after lightning struck less than 10 kilometers from the stadium, but the concert began around 7:50 p.m.
Scott Morrison and his family got prime seats for the first night of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Sydney
Morrison shared a snapshot of his vision of the superstar on Friday.
The former Prime Minister is a secret Swiftie and has been on two of her previous tours.
‘Everyone ready tonight for Morrison’s third Swifty family concert (1989, the first we all did together). Many having a great night. Enjoy everyone,” Morrison wrote.
The family had also seen Swift in 2015 for her 1989 tour and in 2018 for her Reputation tour.
“I’m going to watch Taylor Swift: it’s time to get rid of her,” he wrote at the time of the Reputation tour.
For the 1989 concert, Morrison said, “She may not be Tina Arena, but she’s getting ready to #shakeitoff with my girls in Taylor Swift.”
That same year, he similarly used the song to attack Labour’s economic plan in his role as shadow treasurer.
He also used it to dispel rumors of a spill deal two months earlier when confronted by reporters.
“What happened in February and what happened later in the year were completely different issues and you have to forget about it,” he said.
The song is also Mr Albanese’s favourite, and the current Prime Minister has gone on record as having played it on vinyl at The Lodge.
This is Morrison’s third trip to see Taylor Swift live
Swift’s 2014 mega-hit Shake It Off appears to be one of Morrison’s favorites and he referenced it while speaking to reporters in 2015. He also used her 1989 album to attack the Labor economy that same year (in the photo).
Swift had to cancel the opening act of her show on Friday after Sydney’s Accor Stadium was evacuated due to weather concerns.
A stadium statement issued shortly before 6 p.m. informed concertgoers that the three-hour show had been delayed.
“Please note that due to weather, the start time of the show has been delayed,” it said.
‘Remain undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions.
“Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you.”
Once fans were allowed back in, they were met by a host of celebrities, including Kelce, who walked to his VIP booth to thunderous applause from fans.
“We’ve got a little weather situation going on, it might rain a little bit, but I’ve never met an Australian audience that would let that get in the way of having a good time,” Swift told her fans after beginning her performance.
