Taylor Swift Tears Up During Latest Eras Performance As She Achieves Mega Career Milestone

Taylor Swift couldn’t help but get a little emotional as she played to her biggest concert crowd yet during her first night in Australia.

The “Long Live” songstress welcomed 96,000 fans to the sold-out stadium in Melbourne on the evening of Friday, Feb. 16, and, in concert footage uploaded to the internet by fans, you can tell how awestruck she is by the milestone.

“This is the biggest show that we have done on this tour—or any tour I have ever done,” she told the crowd during the Lover segment of the show, as seen in a video uploaded to Twitter. “So, yeah, 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.”

Then, during the now-traditional ovation Swifties give the singer as she sits down at her piano to play “Champagne Problems,” she went through the full range of emotion as she took in the absolutely massive crowd surrounding her.

In a video uploaded to TikTok by one attendee named Kiara, tears appeared to pool in her eyes as her face shifted from giddy to wonderstruck and all of the accompanying feelings that come with them.

The applause went on for several minutes, Swift’s eyes continuing to scan the stadium as she took it all in before eventually standing to speak to the crowd. “I love you so much!” she finally told them. “Do you know how nice that is to do for someone?”

The touring artist has two more days to soak it all in before she heads to Sydney for her next set of shows, and it’s safe to assume they’ll all be to equally massive sold-out crowds.
