Eras Tour: Taylor Swift performs to largest crowd of her career in Melbourne
- Published
Taylor Swift performed in front of a record 96,000 fans during for the first night of her Australian Eras tour, the biggest concert of her career.
Swift has played at several big sports stadiums in the United States, but her record performance before Friday's concert was no bigger than 74,000.
While performing Swift told the crowd at Melbourne Cricket Ground: "This is the biggest show we've done on this tour or any tour I have ever done! That's the version you get of me tonight, the version that is completely star-struck by the fact that so many of you wanted to hang out with us."
Not everyone was lucky enough to get tickets, these Swift fans, also known as "Swifties" sang and danced during the concert outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Taylor interacted with the crowd through out the concert, even stopping for a moment to give a young Swiftie a hat as a gift. During her tour Swift has given away a black hat to a fan during each live performance of the song, 22.
The concert involved lots of outfit changes for Taylor.
Swift and her backing dancers bowed on stage as their performance came to a close, with fireworks set off above the cricket ground.
