From the sea of fans to all of her glittering looks, see all of the best photos from Swift's time in Melbourne.
Grand Opening
After a whirlwind week stateside celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' big Super Bowl win with boyfriend Travis Kelce, Swift was back to work on Feb. 16 when the Eras Tour made its way to Melbourne, Australia.
Kicking It Off
Swift played to a crowd of 96,000 fans at Melbourne Cricket Ground — her biggest turnout to date on the Eras Tour and according to the hitmaker herself, ever.
"This is the biggest show that we have done on this tour or any tour I have ever done," she told the crowd in a clip shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
"That's the version you get of me tonight, the version that's completely starstruck by the fact that so many of you wanted to hang out with us on a Friday night in Melbourne," the Grammy winner added.
Ready, Set, Go!
Friday's show marked her first concert in Australia since 2018, when she brought the Reputation tour to the country.
Hearts Up
She of course brought all of her sparkling costumes along for the ride and threw up her famous heart hands from the stage.
Crowd Pleaser
The crowd's size was on full display as they all shined lights from their seats while Swift serenaded the tens of thousands of Swifties.
Purple and Poised
Swift stepped into her custom Nicole + Felicia purple ball gown as she entered the Speak Now era of her set.
Strumming Along
And she grabbed onto another one of her guitars as she sang one of her songs from the 2010 album, which was re-released in July 2023.
Ready For It
When it was time to bring things to her Reputation era, she pulled out the Roberto Cavalli catsuit (covered with red sequin snakes!) that she has worn throughout the tour.
Shimmer and Shine
Over the course of the three separate shows at the Melbourne venue, Swift performed in front of more than 280,000 fans.
"Melbourne, what do I even say to you after over 288,000 of you came and danced with us in the last 3 nights ??!" she wrote on Instagram following the three-night stint. "That was unforgettable. You were on another LEVEL. Thank you for the memories. I’ll revisit the ones from this weekend often 🥲🫶."
On the Keys
She sat behind her mossy piano to play a few of her ballads during the set, which ran more than three hours.
Going Green
The Melbourne air looked good on Swift as her sleeves flowed below her arms in the Folklore era.
Guitar Hero
When it came time for the acoustic part of her set, in which she plays her choice of surprise songs, Swift wore this yellow dress as she launched into a rendition of “You’re Losing Me" — marking her first time performing the tune live — and "Red."
The following night she performed a mashup of “Getaway Car,” “August” and “The Other Side of the Door," and on Sunday, performed another mashup — this time of “Come Back ... Be Here" and "Daylight."
That's All Folks
And as their show came to an end, Swift stood with her dancers as they celebrated the close of their first show in Melbourne.
