Sydney left Taylor Swift shocked and emotional,

as the audience went so “wild”, as she called it,

that she couldn’t perform for an entire five minutes.

“Audience won’t stop clapping as Taylor left in shock”

She may have underestimated how beloved she is down under, with the audience clapping for so long that she was unable to perform.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift has unleashed her verdict on the NSW capital — and don’t worry, it’s good news.

It comes as Taylor was spotted kissing her boyfriend Travis Kelce at her concert yesterday hours before he boarded a private jet to fly back to the US.

Some pictures have been shared on social media this afternoon.

Read on for the latest updates.

Taylor’s hilarious crack at Aussie accent

Taylor Swift has delighted the Sydney crowd by having a crack at the Aussie accent while introducing her song ‘Should Have Said No’.

“I have a very specific word that is my favourite word that you say in an Australian accent and that word is the word, ‘no’,” she said.

“The more you chew on that ‘naur’.

“I think you say it better than I say it.”

She then encouraged the crowd to sing along however they like, let that be in an American accent or otherwise.

“Or you can just be yourselves and say: ‘You Should Have Said Naur’,” Taylor said before launching into the song.

Taylor Swift ‘s dancer has quoted an iconic line from an Australian movie during the second night of her four-day Sydney show run.

About 80,000 fans erupted into laughter on Saturday night when her dancer Kameron Saunders delivered a line from the 1997 film The Castle.

“Tell him he’s dreaming,” he sang, in reference to Michael Caton’s now infamous catchphrase from the film.

It came as Swift was introducing her next song, ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’.

Swift regularly hands Mr Saunders the microphone during her song We Are Never Getting Back Together, to which he says a line that is unique to the international audience they are performing for that night.

Earlier in the Melbourne leg of the tour, Saunders delivered the classic Aussie phrases, “yeah nah” and “naur”.

Taylor Swift teared up as she paid tribute to her late grandmother as she kicked off her Eras tour with back-to-back

shows on Friday and Saturday in Glendale, Arizona.

Performing at the State Farm Stadium, where the Super Bowl was held last month,

the 33-year-old pop artist paid tribute to grandmother Marjorie Finlay.

During her performance of the 2020 song, which was named after her maternal grandparent, Taylor got emotional.

Footage was captured and posted on social media by fans in the audience during the opening shows.

TikTok user mlpowers007 shared an outtake to her personal account and wrote, ‘Such a beautiful tribute to Marjorie.’

Fans were first introduced to the heartfelt tune in December 2020 when Taylor unexpectedly dropped her album Evermore.

It came just five months after the release of her critically-acclaimed album Folklore.

When the Pennsylvania-born songwriter put the new music out, she explained that Marjorie was written with her grandmother in mind, nothing that she ‘still visits me sometimes…if only in my dreams.’

The sentimental lyrics recount timeless advice passed on by Finlay, who passed away in 2003, as she included the line: ‘Never be so kind you forget to be clever and never be so clever you forget to be kind.’

Swift also detailed Marjorie’s career as an opera singer with the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra.

Perhaps the most touching element of the recording is the sound of Finlay’s vocals supporting Taylor in the background.

Swift commented at the time of the music’s release: ‘My mom found a bunch of her old records of her singing opera, and I sent them to Aaron Dessner and he added them to the song.’

‘It says, “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were singing to me now,” and then you hear her, you hear Marjorie actually sing,’ Taylor emphasized.

The song Marjorie is just one of the 44 songs included in the musician’s three-hour-long setlist.

The late singer never got to see her granddaughter follow in her musical footsteps as she became a global phenomenon.

Finlay passed away when Swift was 13-years-old, one year before she signed her first record deal.

Elsewhere in the dedication, Taylor reflects on her grandmother’s aspirations as she sings, ‘All your closets of backlogged dreams / And how you left them all to me.’

The video outtakes from the performances feature a tearful Taylor overcome with feeling as Marjorie’s voice echoes through the stadium.

One fan commented on one of the posts and said, ‘She took Marjorie’s backlogged dreams out of the closet and into the big stage for the whole world to hear.’

Someone else added, ‘She took Marjorie’s backlogged dreams out of the closet and into the big stage for the whole world to hear.’

During the high-profile performances Swift stunned on stage in Glendale, which was nicknamed ‘Swift City’ for the weekend.

She flaunted her statuesque figure as she gave a powerhouse performance that did not disappoint.

And her outfits were just as remarkable as her music and flawless vocals, with the pop star making multiple changes.

The 12-time Grammy winner conquered the stage in shimmering knee-high boots as part of one of her ensembles.

At another point she slipped into a bedazzled silver blazer before donning a fringed champagne minidress and later a sultry one-legged black bodysuit adorned with ruby red snakes.

The U.S. leg of Taylor’s sixth headlining tour will be taking the country by storm for the next five months, concluding with a slate of Los Angeles concerts in August.

After Sunday’s performance Taylor appeared on Instagram to share a snapshot from the show and write: ‘WELL. Last night was a rush. Thank you to everyone in that glorious Glendale night 2 crowd for giving us all you had and more. Counting down the hours til we get to play again. See you in Vegas.’

after leaving girlfriend Taylor Swift behind in Australia.

The NFL star landed in Sydney on Thursday morning to meet up with his popstar girlfriend

after his Super Bowl victory and watch her perform one of her Eras Tour shows.

However, the couple’s reunion was short and sweet as Kelce boarded a flight just a couple of days later to return to the US for more celebrations in Las Vegas.

Kelce landed in Sin City at 8.30am on Saturday and wasted no time in returning to the dancefloor with teammate and best friend Patrick Mahomes, who was already in Vegas for a friend’s bachelor party.

But video and pictures obtained by DailyMail.com from inside the Lavo club in Las Vegas show Kelce with a giant magnum of champagne in hand.

While stood on the packed dance floor, Kelce can be seen downing the champagne as he celebrates with his friends.

Wearing a bright Hawaiian style shirt, Kelce was also said to be stood on top of his table as his group partied from 2pm to 5pm.

They then departed from the Venetian hotel in a party bus to continue their wild night elsewhere on the city’s iconic strip.

It comes after Swift laid down the law in their their relationship and set Kelce some rules for him to follow.

Kelce wore a bright yellow, Hawaiian style shirt that was clearly visible

Travis is believed to be on board with most of the rules but some reportedly have him rolling his eyes.

One of Taylor’s new rules prohibits him from going to strip clubs, which he is ‘fine’ with, but another banning him from posing with female fans left him exasperated, a source told Life & Style.

‘He has no interest in playing a calculated media game if it’s going to make him think twice about every move he makes. That’s not his style,’ adds the source.

Kelce’s behavior has come under the microscope in recent weeks after Swifties identified a number of ‘red flags’ in their idol’s boyfriend.

He first shoved Chiefs coach Andy Reid and screamed in the 65-year-old’s face in an explosive rant during the Super Bowl.

Kelce and a number of other Chiefs players were then criticized for going ahead with a ‘scaled down’ party on the same night as the deadly parade shooting in Kansas City.

Kelce was seen in a Kansas City sports bar alongside several teammates and their WAGs – including Mahomes’ wife Brittany.

He was part of a small group that also included Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend, center Creed Humphrey, tight end Matt Bushman – and his wife Emily.

Sources told DailyMail.com that Mahomes booked the entire venue out for a select few members of the squad and their families.

Many of Andy Reid’s team stayed away following the attack which left one person dead and dozens injured in Kansas City.

Kelce flew to Australia to watch girlfriend Taylor Swift perform her Eras Tour show in Sydney

Kelce sparked backlash with his antics after the parade, during which he appeared too drunk to speak

Kelce had already come under fire on the same day after posing for a smiling selfie with a police officer while holding a beer in the wake of the deadly shooting.

He was also extremely drunk at the parade and could barely speak and stand up on stage without the assistance of his teammates.

Kelce and Swift both donated $100,000 to victims of the mass shooting.

He made the donation through a GoFundMe page, which showed a pair of $50,000 donations from his charity, the Eighty-Seven & Running Foundation – an organization that aims to help ‘underserved youth strive to become productive citizens.’

It is also Kelce’s third trip to Vegas in two weeks. He was also there earlier this week to play some golf and relax with friends before flying out to meet up with Swift in Australia.

The three-time Super Bowl winner watched his pop superstar girlfriend perform her Eras Tour Friday night and was fully embraced by his girlfriend’s loyal group of fans at Accor Stadium.

The lovebirds also enjoyed a sweet date at Sydney Zoo during their time in the city – a move that was criticized by animal rights organization PETA.

In one clip from Friday’s Eras Tour show, a grinning Kelce could be seen trading friendship bracelets with the Swifties. In another video, he waved at screaming fans as he walked by.

Swift decided to give two nods to her beau in the audience through her lyrics during the show.

During the second verse of her song ‘Long Live’ off her album ‘Speak Now’, Swift sang the line ‘We are the kings and the queens / You traded your baseball cap for a crown / When they gave us our trophies / And we held them up for our town.’

At the mention of trophies, Swift held her guitar up and seemed to point out in the direction of Kelce in the audience.

That drew cheers from the packed audience at the Accor Stadium in the Olympic Park suburb of Sydney.

Later in the show, Swift had an encore of her altered ‘Karma’ lyric, where she once again sang out ‘Karma is the guy on the Chiefs’ instead of ‘guy on the screen’.

After her stint in Sydney, Swift has six shows in Singapore before she has two months off. It’s currently unclear if Kelce will be making another trip to join her in Singapore.

Taylor Swift, known as the queen of hearts, continues to live up to her title with each public appearance and tour.

The 14-time Grammy winner once again captured hearts during her Eras tour concert in Sydney, Australia.

At the show, she made a heartwarming gesture by giving the coveted “22” hat to 9-year-old Australian resident

and swiftie Scarlett Oliver, whose story was shared by her step-mother on social media.

“Scarlett is a 9-year-old from Perth, and she was diagnosed in October last year with a high grade glioma — this is a very aggressive brain cancer with no cure,” Oliver’s mother Natalie earlier shared the piece of information on Swift’s fan page on Facebook. The message further explained the condition of the young patient. “The prognosis given to us was 12-18 months from diagnosis. She has been an absolute warrior through surgeries, radiation, and other treatments. The message was shared by a fan on X which looks like a screenshot of the facebook version.

Scarlett Oliver’s wish to meet Swift

As per the message, Oliver had hoped to meet Swift. Despite the Make-a-Wish Foundation initially agreeing to grant her wish, they later informed her it couldn’t be fulfilled. Determined, Scarlett and her step-mom turned to social media, sharing an adorable photo of Scarlett holding a sign that read, “Taylor, can I have the ’22’ hat? Please.”

Taylor Swift gives her ‘22’ hat to a young fan

Both mother and daughter attended the Accor Stadium last night, where Natalie encouraged Swifties to share her daughter’s story with Taylor. As always, the fan base responded with enthusiasm. It seems someone from Swift’s team reached out to Scarlett and her family, as the young girl was later granted the chance to meet Swift on stage and receive the coveted “22” hat.

A fan-shared video from the Sydney crowd captured Taylor kneeling down to embrace the young girl, kissing her hands before placing the hat on her head. The girl’s joy was evident as she received the gift. This heartwarming moment sent waves across the internet, melting hearts everywhere.

“Oh my goodness this makes me so happy,” a fan wrote on X while others joined in. “Now I’m crying,” “YALL THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY I SAW THE POST ASKING TAYLOR FOR IT AND ALL OF US TAGGING HER WORKED.” “She is queen”.

What is Taylor’s “22” hat?

For the uninitiated, the “22” hat holds special significance for the Cruel Summer singer. It’s a black hat famously worn during her performance of the hit song “22,” marking the opening of the Red era of her show. In a memorable tradition, she walks to the end of the stage during the song and gifts the hat to one lucky fan.

Ted Nugent Blames Taylor Swift And Her Fans For Ruining ‘Real Mᴜsic’

Having wraᴘped up his final tour, ‘Adios Mofo ’23,’ in Julʏ, Ted Nugent recently appeared on ‘The Joe Pags Show.’ While comparing new and old music during the episode, he accused Taylor Swift of ruining ‘real mᴜsic,’ saying:

“So, I’m afraid to say in this world ᴛhat’s gone down the toilet in all aspects, I’m afraid the success of Tᴀylor Swift, aɴd God bless her work ethic, God bless her musical dreams, but that’s cartoon music. I meaɴ, it doesn’t have any piss and vinegar. There’s no fire; there’s no sensualiᴛy in that. It’s all poppy nᴏnsense aꜱ far as I’m concerned, and it’s the most popular stuff in the world, which is an indictment to the music indusᴛry and mᴜsic fans.”

About some older baɴds, he continued:

“They’re not looking fᴏr that fire from a ZZ Tᴏp or from a Mitch Ryder And The Detrᴏit Wʜeels or from a Brownsville Station or an Amboʏ Dukes. And I ᴍisꜱ thᴀt. Thank God I’m still around. We still deliver the fire that The Beatles did [at clubs] in Germany.”

These comments aren’t new ꜰrom Nugent, as he previoᴜsly slammed Swifᴛ’s music aꜱ ‘cartoonish’ in an October episode of his ‘The Nightlʏ Nuge’ show.

Ted Nugent’s Older Comments On Swift’s Music

The singer said he was lucky to be ʙorn in aɴ era supporting ‘quality musiᴄ’ and ᴀppreciaᴛed bands like Foo Fighters for trying to carry the torch. Still, he clᴀimed the new artists didn’t have the same ‘fire’ as the old ones.

Giving Sᴡift’s music as an example, Nugent shared:

Buzzwift. That music, to me, souɴds like cartoon music. It sounds like if I bumped into a child’s cartoon show oɴ a Saturdᴀy morning, I would probably hear the No. 1 country song, or I would hear the No. 1 pop song!”

Criticizing the pop singer’s music for not being ‘organic,’ he added:

“It’s all formulated to give a certain vocal delivery and a certain chᴏrd ᴄhange and a certain tempo that they examine so closelʏ that it’s not organic and instinctive and sexy and unleashed and genuine and believable…”

In another chat in 2021, Nugent also claimed artiꜱts liᴋe Swift made music for numbers.
