The global megastar, 34, took to the stage at the Accor Stadium to perform to a delighted crowd of 80,000 after a late start due to the storms and rain.
Taylor’s NFL star boyfriend Travis, 34, attended the show to support her after touching down in Sydney on Thursday for her jam-packed weekend of shows.
Travis’ friend Ross, 31, joined him for the big trip Down Under and he got into the full swing of Swiftie mania as he too attended Taylor’s much-awaited first Sydney show.
Ross took to his Instagram Stories in the early hours of Saturday to give an insight into his epic night out at the concert, where he traded friendship bracelets with fans.

He also took to the crowds to dance with fans as he shared a video of himself dancing the night away as he had the time of his life.
The NFL tight end admitted he finally ‘understands’ Swiftie mania as he gushed over how incredible the show – which was also attended by Rita Ora and Katy Perry – was.
He first shared a black-and-white video of himself flashing a love heart to the camera, while his arms could be seen heavily adorned in friendship bracelets – in line with fan tradition.
Ross then revealed he had thrown himself into the tour traditions as he went on to trade his bracelets with fans from all over the world.
Sharing a snap of his haul of bracelets, Ross said: ‘Made some friends tonight in Sydney… you didn’t disappoint!’

After the set for support act Sabrina Carpenter had to be cancelled, Taylor finally took the stage a little over 20 minutes after the scheduled start time of 7.30pm.
‘We have a little bit of a weather situation, we might have some rain, but I’ve never known an Aussie crowd to let that get in the way of having a good time,’ Taylor told her fans once she began her performance.
The wild 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.
Other famous faces who attended the show were Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi (centre), Katy Perry (far right) and Toni Collette (left)

‘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.’
Taylor will once again take to the show on Saturday night, followed by two more shows on Sunday and Monday to conclude her Australian tour.
