Rain Couldn’t Stop Taylor Swift’s Show
After being delayed by rain and a nearby power strike, Taylor Swift performed the first Sydney Era tour show.
Taylor Swift was supported by Travis Kelce, Katy Perry and Rita Ora at the Sydney Era Tour show on Friday.
Taylor Swift, 34, was due to perform night one of her Era tour gigs in front of 81,000 fans at Sydney’s Acre Stadium on Friday.
However due to a nearby lightning strike, the stadium floor had to be evacuated. Things turned sour after that, which can be seen in a video posted on social media.
