This evening (February 16), Taylor Swift officially opened The Eras Tour series in Australia with the first show at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (Melbourne). This is a huge stadium. In terms of capacity, the Melbourne Cricket Ground is the largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere, and the 11th largest stadium in the world with a capacity of 100,024 seats. That’s why all eyes are on the Melbourne Cricket Ground right now.
The overwhelming crowd of nearly 100,000 people before The Eras Tour lights up.
Right at the opening moment, Taylor Swift excitedly confirmed: “This is the biggest show of this tour, as well as any of my previous tours…”. Taylor Swift also said that 96,000 spectators appeared at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during her concert. The whole arena “erupted” when Taylor Swift confirmed this information.
Taylor Swift is full of charisma at the show.
This is not only the biggest concert of Taylor Swift’s career but also breaks Lady Gaga’s record to become the female artist’s concert with the largest audience this decade. The previous record belonged to Lady Gaga when she performed in front of more than 78 thousand spectators at Stade de France (France) as part of the Chromatica Ball Tour. However, the record at the Melbourne Cricket Ground still belongs to Taylor Swift’s close friend when Ed Sheeran performed in front of more than 105 thousand spectators as part of the Mathematics Tour.
In an emotional moment, Taylor Swift couldn’t hold back her tears as she looked at the largest crowd she has ever performed in her career. The clip is being shared strongly and the audience hopes that the next two shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground will have an even larger audience than the opening night.
Taylor Swift burst into tears because of the huge audience.
After tonight’s show (February 16), Taylor Swift will have 2 more shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on the evening of February 17-18. It’s entirely possible that after the first night’s effect, the remaining two shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground will see even bigger crowds. After finishing 3 shows in Melbourne, Taylor Swift will continue with 4 shows in Sydney to end the tour in Australia. And of course, after that there will be 6 shows at Singapore National Stadium, where a large number of Vietnamese audiences will gather.
