There was a cheeky tribute to Australia during Taylor Swift’s concert in Melbourne on Friday night and fans are loving it.

Taylor Swift sent fans wild when she paid tribute to an iconic Aussie phrase during one of her best-loved hits on Friday night.

Almost 100,000 fans turned out to watch the US megastar’s biggest ever show at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

According to Swift, a whopping 96,000 fans were packed into Australia’s biggest stage to spend three hours singing along to her biggest hits.

While performing the Red section of her Eras Tour Show, one of Swift’s dancers said an iconic Aussie phrase into the microphone during the spoken section of We Are Never Getting Back Together.

“So you know that we are never getting back together,” said Taylor, before handing the microphone over to her dancer, who yelled: “Yeah. NAH!” as the crowd immediately screamed back.

Fans rushed to share clips of the moment on social media, with Swift’s nod to Aussie culture clearly winning over the crowds.

Elsewhere in the show, Swift became emotional as she stared out into the crowd during the biggest show of her career.

She told the screaming crowd: “Losing my mind at there being 96,000 people here. This is the biggest show that we’ve ever done. I’m fully starstruck by the fact so many people wanted to hang out with us on a Friday night in Melbourne!”

Swift and support act Sabrina Carpenter will play three shows over three nights at the MCG from Friday in Melbourne before jetting over to Sydney for another four shows at Accor Stadium next weekend.

Shortly before hitting the stage in Melbourne, fans spotted that Swift had shared a message on the stadium’s screens paying respect to the indigenous peoples of Australia and acknowledging Country.

Meanwhile, Swift’s dad was reportedly seen handing out ticket upgrades to eager Swifties who turned up to MCG when the gates first opened.

While unconfirmed, it would make sense considering Swift’s family have been performing such acts with the star’s diehard fans at concerts for a while now.
