Tens of thousands of attendees have descended on Sydney for the first of Taylor Swift’s four The Eras Tour concerts at ACCOR Stadium.
The American pop superstar kicks off her tour in Sydney on Friday night and her fans turned out dressed in their best outfits.
More than 80,000 concertgoers descended on the venue before Taylor took the stage at 7:30 p.m.
With a cool change blowing through Sydney and a storm approaching after a sweltering summer day, moods couldn’t be dampened.
Some opted for T-shirts declaring their fandom, while others sported skimpy outfits in various shades of pink.
Many showed off their friendship bands, which are a staple for fans of the billionaire singer.
Cowboy hats, crop tops and lots of sparkly sequins were also in order, and several of them rocked sparkly ensembles.
Many parents joined in on the action, some dressing up alongside their kids while others donned Swift t-shirts.
Others emulated Taylor’s outfits, and several opted for looks that the pop star herself has worn on tour.
Taylor spent the day relaxing before the show as she and her boyfriend Travis Kelce visited Sydney Zoo.
The pop star and her NFL star partner went on a date night at the 16.5 hectare site earlier this week ahead of Swift’s three concerts in Australia’s biggest city, and were even seen cuddling a little one kangaroo.
The couple will spare no expense for their overseas reunion in Australia, and the two will stay at one of Sydney’s most elegant and extravagant hotels.
The couple are staying at the elegant Crown Towers, the city’s first six-star hotel, located in the port neighborhood of Barangaroo, during Swift’s four-day stop in Sydney for her Eras Tour.
With exclusive restaurants, luxurious facilities and top-notch amenities throughout the property, the venue is guaranteed a luxurious experience, something that both Taylor and Travis are more than accustomed to.
However, the loved-up couple opted for the most opulent (and most expensive) room the hotel has to offer: the Crown Presidential Villa.
The palatial residence is so luxurious that guests should check their nightly rates, which typically start at a dazzling $16,300 (AUD$25,000) per night.
Billed as the largest villa on the property at 860 square feet, the two-story hotel room is situated on the 88th floor and offers stunning panoramic views of Sydney and Sydney Harbor through its floor-to-ceiling windows.
Taylor’s visit comes after she literally stopped traffic on Tuesday night when she went out to dinner in Sydney.
The global superstar surprised onlookers at Pellegrino 2000, a neighborhood trattoria located in Surry Hills.
Taylor looked every inch the local hipster, opting for a low-key black gypsy top paired with a brown suede skirt for the outing.
She made the most of her night off with fellow singer Sabrina Carpenter, who is currently supporting Taylor on her sold-out Eras tour.
The Girl Meets World star stunned in a red minidress with white fringe details and simple stockings in the back.
Sabrina accessorized her look with a classic Louis Vuitton bag and wore a black leather-look jacket to protect herself from Sydney’s unpredictable weather of late.
Taylor is currently enjoying some time off in Sydney after her Eras Tour took Melbourne by storm, selling out three days at the famous MCG.
Swift will perform four shows in Sydney from Friday, February 23 to Monday, February 26.
