Taylor Swift is supported by adoring boyfriend Travis Kelce as she finally storms the stage on first night of Eras Tour in Sydney after lightning delayed show – and Katy Perry and Rita Ora are there too

In videos shared to social media, the NFL star was seen strolling into the stadium before finding his seat at a special VIP box.

The footballer could not wipe the smile off his face as Taylor worked the stage in one of her iconic sparkling leotards. Travis opted for a smart shirt in blue patterns and matching shorts as well as a pair of white sneakers.

He had walked through the crowd applauding him before being led to his VIP seat, where he was seen beaming as he watched Taylor perform.

Other famous faces in the crowd included Katy Perry and Rita Ora, who took in the show together.

Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison proved he was a Swiftie when he was seen in the crowd alongside his two young daughtersWild weather lashing Sydney on Friday evening caused chaos for the 80,000 Swifties heading to her first show of the Eras Tour in the city.

Fans sitting on the floor and lower bowl levels of the stadium were asked to move inside after lightning struck just 10 kilometres away shortly before 6pm.

A statement from Accor Stadium issued just before 6pm told concert-goers the three-hour show had been delayed.

‘Please note, due to weather, show start time has been delayed,’ it said.

‘Stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions.

‘Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you.’

Swift took to the stage at about 7.50pm, while her support act Sabrina Carpenter was axed for Friday night’s performance.
