Taylor Swift has finally taken to the stage after her highly anticipated Eras Tour concert was delayed by wild weather and fans were evacuated from Sydney’s Accor Stadium.
Wild weather lashing Sydney on Friday evening caused chaos for the 80,000 Swifties heading to her first show of the Eras Tour in the city.
Fans sitting on the floor and lower bowl levels of the stadium were asked to move inside after lightning struck just 10 kilometres away shortly before 6pm.
‘Please note, due to weather, show start time has been delayed,’ it said.
‘Stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions.
‘Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you.’
Swift took to the stage at about 7.50pm, while her support act Sabrina Carpenter was axed for Friday night’s performance.
Carpenter was due to begin at 6.20pm and Swift was supposed to start at 7.30pm.
A man’s voice was earlier heard on a loudspeaker at the stadium telling fans that lightning had struck 10kms away and ticket holders needed to evacuate.
A stream of concert-goers, most wearing plastic rain ponchos, were seen moving to undercover areas of the stadium following the announcement.
Accor Stadium had said the show will run unless there is ‘severe weather which could impact the safety of artists and patrons’.
‘I’m just really nervous about the rain, it’s pretty clear here but Accor still haven’t announced when the show is going to start,’ one Sydney Swiftie, Annabelle, told Daily Mail Australia before the show began.
‘I’m just kind of stressed with the noise curfew and everything.’
Accor Stadium is understood to have a curfew of 11pm. Swift’s Eras Tour shows run for just under three-and-a-half-hours.
Another fan said she was fed up about the lack of communication.
‘I’m mad. Twenty minutes until showtime and we have no idea what’s happening!’ she said.
