Taylor Swift has a lot of love for Sydney! On Monday, the pop superstar, 34, paid tribute to her Australian fans as she took to the stage for her fourth and final Eras Tour show in the city.
“You’re out here making me feel like I’m the first artist to play four shows at Accor Stadium!” Swift said after taking the stage, according to local media outlet news.com.au. “I guess what I’m trying to say is that you make me feel like the man,” added the “Karma” singer, before launching into a performance of “The Man” and then addressing the crowd again.
“Well I am absolutely delighted to say these words to you. Sydney: welcome to the Eras Tour! This is our final night of four. And we have had the most wonderful time, I’ve got to tell you that,” Swift said, per the outlet. “You are here in one of the most exciting cities in the world, and you chose to hang out with us. Thanks guys!”
In a video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Saturday, Swift also shared that she feels “at home” in Sydney. “Me, my band, the dancers, you make us feel like we’re at home here, you really do. It’s very rare,” Swift said, before going on to reveal her favorite word spoken in the Australian accent and having a go herself.
“The more time we spend around you, the more favorite things that we find about you, but obviously you know we love your accents. But I have a very specific word that is my favorite word that you say in an Australian accent and that word is the word ‘No,’ ” said Swift.
“It is the most glorious sound. The more you chew on that no [said in an Australian accent], the more you just … I really think you say it better than I say it, so this song incorporates the word no several times. The choice is yours. You can sing it American like me if you want, or you can just be yourselves and you can say, ‘You should’ve said no [said in an Australian accent].’ ”
The musician then launched into a performance of her track “Should’ve Said No” to huge cheers from the crowd. Meanwhile, Monday’s show was also hit with some rain after Friday’s show — Swift’s first show in the city — was delayed by rain and a nearby lightning strike. As the rain started to come down at the Accor Stadium on Monday, Swift held up her hands and asked the crowd in a video shared on X. “You down to dance all night in the rain with me? Because I’m in all in on that and you know we love a rain show here on the Eras Tour.” The “Cruel Summer” singer’s Eras Tour will next be heading to Singapore, with the star set to play six nights at the National Stadium in Kallang starting on March 2.
