Taylor Swift put on a show-stopping performance for an 80,000-strong crowd for the first Sydney show on her much-awaited Eras tour on Friday night.
Despite fears that the thunderstorms could see the show cancelled, Taylor, 34, left Swifties wanting more as she didn’t fail to impress with her best-loved hits.
A whole host of very famous faces also descended on the Accor Stadium for the epic night, with Taylor’s A-list pals flocking to Sydney to support her.
Rita Ora and Taika Waititi, Katy Perry, Toni Collette and Baz Luhrmann were all seen partying in the crowds, while Taylor’s NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce and his friend Ross Travis also attended.
Singer Rita, 33, was seen having the time of her life as she smiled alongside Katy, 39, as they watched Taylor’s performance from a VIP tent.
Rita’s film director husband Taika, 48, was also seen getting involved in the night as he sweetly smiled at fans and made love heart signs in their direction.
Rita also took to Instagram to give an insight into their time with Taylor backstage as she and Taika sweetly posed with their pop star pal.
Taylor was fully glammed up in her glitzy sequinned leotard in the snap as she got ready to take to the stage just moments ahead of the big show.
Rita also shared snaps of herself and Katy in the crowds as they smiled and sang along to Taylor’s best-loved hits.
Alongside the gallery, she penned: ‘It’s fair to say Sydney always delivers – Or shall we say our TayTay @taylorswift always delivers! thank you for having us! Seeing my KP @katyperry made my heart, too many queens to count!’
Katy proved that her epic feud with Taylor is well and truly in the past as they cuddled up for a selfie while socialising backstage.
Katy, 39, showed her support for her former frenemy and couldn’t wait to pay tribute to her ‘old friend’ as she shared several snaps and videos on Instagram – including a super sweet close-up shot of them backstage together.
Katy and Taylor had a nasty falling out, with the Cruel Summer hitmaker penning her 2015 song Bad Blood about their dispute – which began when Katy apparently tried to hire a bunch of Taylor’s backup dancers and ‘sabotage an entire arena tour’.
However, it seems it is all water under the bridge as Katy filmed Taylor performing the track, before turning the camera on herself as she belted out the lyrics.
Also in the star-studded audience was Australian actress Toni, 51, who stood alongside Taika in the VIP tent as she soaked up the atmosphere.
Australian Elvis director Baz, 61, also made an appearance and watched the epic concert alongside Taylor’s boyfriend Travis, 34, and his NFL star pal Ross, 31.
Travis touched down in Sydney on Thursday to support his girlfriend amid the Australian leg of her Eras tour, and proudly watched her in her element on Friday.
The American tight end could not wipe the smile off his face as Taylor impressed the crowds with her set list filled with her best-loved hits and some surprise tracks.
Travis’ NFL star pal Ross also took to Instagram to give an insight into his night at the concert as he traded friendship bracelets with Swifties and danced in the crowds.
Elsewhere, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson was also among the Australian stars to descend on the stadium for the show as she took her daughter Kitty, 13.
She shared a video of Kitty singing along to Taylor’s hits as she panned around the stadium to give an insight into the incredible atmosphere in the arena.
Dina Broadhurst also put on a very leggy display in a dazzling ensemble as she attended the concert with Jade Yarbrough and Ricky Matthew.
