For Tay Tay's first of four shows in the city, thousands of fansgathered at Sydney's Accor Stadium. However, after the weather conditions worsened, the organisers evacuated the lower area of the stadium, and fans were asked to take shelter in the venue.
"The floor and lower bowl are currently being evacuated due to lightning strikes nearthe stadium," organisers wrote in the post on The Eras Tour handle on X.
"Please stay safe, sheltered and follow venue screens until further notice."
Several videos of the bad weather conditions, showing fans heading inside the venuehave gone viral on social media.

The bad weather conditions have left thousands of concertgoers in a curious state. Swifties wearing glittery outfits and donning friendship bands were seen hiding under shelters and umbrellas in and outside the stadium.
Swift was set to start the performance at 7:30 pm and as of now, there is no confirmation on if and when the concert will start.
In the past, Swift has never let rain stop her from performing. In Foxborough, MA, the pop superstar performed her hours-long outdoor show in the rain.
The performance of Sabrina Carpenter has been cancelled due to the weather conditions. The post on the Eras Tour X handle reads,''Sabrina Carpenter will unfortunately not be opening up for Night 1 of Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' in Sydney, Australia due to the weather delay #SydneyTSTheErasTour.''
