Taylor Swift Plays To Her Biggest Audience Ever


Taylor Swift couldn't help but get a little emotional as she played to her biggest concert crowd yet during her first night in Australia, according to Parade.

She welcomed 96,000 fans to the sold-out stadium in Melbourne on the evening of Friday, Feb. 16, and, in concert footage uploaded to the internet by fans, you can tell how awestruck she is by the milestone. 

"This is the biggest show that we have done on this tour—or any tour I have ever done," she told the crowd during the Lover segment of the show, as seen in a video uploaded to Twitter. "So, yeah, that's the version you get of me tonight; the version that's completely starstruck by the fact that so many of you wanted to hang out with us on a Friday night in Melbourne."

Then, during the now-traditional ovation Swifties give the singer as she sits down at her piano to play "Champagne Problems," she went through the full range of emotion as she took in the absolutely massive crowd surrounding her. 

➤Swift donates $100,000 

Meanwhile, Swift has donated $100,000 to the family of the woman slain in a shooting near a rally for the Kansas City Chiefs where the singer’s boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce, and his teammates were celebrating their Super Bowl victory.

The Grammy Award-winning performer’s two contributions of $50,000 each were posted early on Friday to the GoFundMe memorial page set up by relatives of radio personality Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan, who was the lone fatality in Wednesday’s gun violence. She was 43.

A message left with the donations on the page reads: “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift.”

Representatives for the singer confirmed to CNN and the showbiz trade publication Variety that the contributions from Swift were authentic.
