Taylor Swift has performed her first of four sold out Sydney shows yesterday after thunder and lightning delayed her opening night.

Transcript

00:00 The Eras to a Sydney's version. We just had our first taste of Taylormania but we didn't

00:07 get it easy. Tears weren't the only thing pouring, heavy rain and thunderstorms created

00:11 a twisted cruel summer fate. With fans seated on the floor having to be evacuated and the

00:16 show facing being delayed. Her support act, Sabrina Carpenter's set was cancelled so

00:21 Twifts could go ahead. Ponchos were the accessory of choice, rivaling sequins and glitter for

00:26 midnight rain. But that didn't stop the party. 95,000 fans packed Stadium Australia and there

00:32 wasn't a blank space in sight. Wearing their best cowboy boots and handmade outfits, many

00:37 more showed up in style for the occasion without a ticket. Participating in what's known as

00:41 Taylorgating. Getting the concert second hand by shimmying and singing their hearts out

00:46 as the crowd roared inside, exchanging friendship bracelets along the way. I was in tears when

00:51 she came out on the stage. I think pretty much everybody was. It was amazing, it was

00:55 super amazing. She had lots of surprise songs so it was good and she brought out Sabrina

00:58 Carpenter even though she couldn't perform so it was excellent. Yeah, off the charts.

01:02 Yeah, never seen anything like it. Visuals were amazing. She's amazing. Superstar, absolutely

01:07 superstar. She's like my idol but my favourite song was probably Karma. What was your favourite

01:13 song? All of them. These fans know Swift all too well and if last night's concert is anything

01:19 to go by, you best believe there'll be thousands more here again tonight making the whole place

01:24 shimmer and bejeweled.
