Taylor Swift sends Melbourne fans completely wild as she uses iconic Aussie phrase on stage during much-awaited Eras tour

Taylor Swift sent the crowds completely wild when she used an iconic Australian phrase during her second Eras show at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.

The global megastar, 34, kicked off her Australian tour on Friday and returned to the Melbourne stadium for another epic show the following day.

As well as impressing with her epic three-hour setlist, Taylor also left the 96,000-strong crowd in hysterics during one moment in the concert.

The audience erupted into loud screams when she put her own Australian twist on her smash hit song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

The Grammy-award winning artist personalised her show for her Melbourne audience with the help of her backing dancer in the amusing moment.

Chanting the song’s normal lyrics into the microphone, she said: ‘This is exhausting, you know? Like, we are never getting back together.’

But Taylor then passed the microphone over to a dancer, who said the lyric ‘no’ as ‘naur’ in a noticeably Australian twang, sending the crowds absolutely wild.

The audience were heard erupting into deafening screams as they were thrilled by the hilarious touch, as Taylor went straight into the track’s chorus.

Taylor’s support act Sabrina Carpenter also got into the Australian mood as she too changed her song’s lyrics for the Melbourne audience.

The American singer, 24, kicked off the performance at 6.30pm before Taylor’s grand debut, and performed some of her best loved tracks during her set.

And while playing her smash hit Nonsense, Sabrina surprised the crowds by changing up her lyrics to give them a special Australian touch.

Putting on her best Aussie accent, she hilariously sang: ‘I don’t say “hello” I say “g’day mate” / I don’t make a bevvy, I’m a lightweight / Melbourne, I just came, I saw, and I ate.’

On Saturday, Taylor once again attracted a crowd of around 96,000 to the MCG for her second show, after she performed to the biggest crowd of her career on the opening night of her Australian tour.

Despite already having performed at huge sporting stadiums across the US, the opening night of her Australian tour broke records, as she has never performed to a crowd larger than 74,000.

On Saturday, Taylor once again attracted a crowd of 96,000 to the MCG for her second show, after she performed to the biggest crowd of her career on the first night of her Australian tour

Reacting to performing at her biggest show to date, Taylor told the 96,000-strong crowd on Friday: ‘This is the biggest show we’ve done on this tour or any tour I have ever done!

‘That’s the version you get of me tonight, the version that is completely star-struck by the fact that so many of you wanted to hang out with us on Saturday night in Melbourne!’

As well as the huge crowds inside the venue, eager fans who weren’t able to get their hands on the sought-after tickets gathered outside the MCG – after organisers expressed concern over the 15,000 extra fans expected to turn up at her shows.

Ahead of her Sydney shows, Venues NSW has warned ticketless fanatics to stay away from Accor Stadium to prevent crowd management issues, The Daily Telegraph reported.

A spokesperson said fans who missed out on tickets should not try to ‘soak up the atmosphere’ outside, as they likely won’t hear any songs anyway.

Meanwhile, Transport NSW coordinator-general Howard Collins said the city was ‘preparing for the inevitable’.

‘What we found with other popular music venues where people can’t get tickets, people do just turn up to sort of soak up the atmosphere, and you can’t stop them other than to manage crowds,’ he said.

‘We are not encouraging ticketless fans to attend, but part of our contingency plan is allowing for extra people who may be travelling who haven’t got tickets.’

But despite warnings from the NSW government, businesses are said to be rolling out the welcome mat for all of Taylor’s fans regardless of whether they have tickets.
