Taylor Swift has no shortage of famous friends who have supported her during her Eras Tour.

Laura Dern, Emma Stone and Shania Twain are just a few who have watched some of her earlier shows.

And tonight has been no different with the 14-time Grammy winner joined by a superstar entourage in Sydney.

And it wasn’t just the star’s boyfriend Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs who joined her tonight at the Accor Stadium.

As Swift took to the stage, she did a shout out to Aussies who had come out to support her despite the bad weather.

“We have a little bit of a weather situation, we might have some rain, but I’ve never known an Aussie crowd to let that get in the way of having a good time,” she told the packed crowd.

Swift’s performance was delayed because of bad weather.

The one casualty has been support act Sabrina Carpenter who got canned.

Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison and current Prime Minister Anthony Albanese were also in attendance.

ScoMo, who was decked out in pink, was accompanied by his wife Jenny and teenage daughters for the show.

“All reddy tonight for the Morrison’s third Swifty family concert (1989 our first all together),” he wrote on X.

“So many having such a great night. Enjoy everyone.”

Taylor’s sweet moment with Sydney fans

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is for many Australian fans the highlight of their year.

Speaking to the crowd of 81,000 at Accor Stadium on Friday night (after a tumultuous start due to rain and the threats of lightning and hail), Swift spoke lovingly of what it means to tour Down Under.

Last week she told Melbourne crowds that she was shocked at the reception they gave her. But for Sydney fans she had something special, too, revealing her love for the city.

“I really can’t believe I get to do this most of the time,” she said.

“Sydney is such a special place in my heart, we have so many amazing memories here.”

Swift made new memories this week after landing in the harbour city with boyfriend Travis Kelce.

The pair were spotted at Surry Hills restaurants and strolling arm-in-arm through Sydney Zoo.
