Massive changes to expect at Taylor Swift’s Sydney Eras Tour concerts… as pop star touches down in city ahead of sold-out stadium shows
Taylor Swift landed in Sydney on Monday ahead of her shows in the harbour city.
The megastar, 34, will be playing four sold out shows at Accor Stadium over the weekend, with 80,000 people attending each night.
She revealed on stage in Melbourne on Sunday she won’t be performing the same acoustic ‘Surprise Song’ more than once on her Eras Tour.
Swift belted out a mix of Getaway Car, August, and The Other Side of the Door on Saturday, and a mashup of Come Back Be Here and Daylight the following night.
Fans in Sydney can expect the pop star to perform a new ‘surprise song’, with many urging her to return to her original country roots.
‘I want to be as creative as possible with the acoustic set moving forward and I don’t want to limit anything or say, “If I played this song, I can’t play it again”,’ Swift said over the weekend.
‘So, from now on, I don’t want to take any paint colours out of the paintbox or tools out of the toolbox.’
‘I want to be able to play songs more than once if I feel like it and I want to be able to make changes to songs. Does that sound OK?’ she added.
Some of the acoustic Surprise Songs she has previously performed on her latest tour include Daylight, Red and Teardrops on my Guitar.
Meanwhile, Swift is believed to be staying at Crown’s presidential villa in Sydney’s Barangaroo while in town.
The Cruel Summer songstress stayed in the presidential villa at the five-star Crown Towers hotel while she was in Melbourne.
Crown Sydney’s presidential villa is situated on the 88th floor of Crown Towers Sydney and typically costs $25,000 per night.
The 800sqm residence is split over two levels and boasts unparalleled views over the Sydney harbour.
The first floor features an expansive living area, kitchen, bar, pool table, and a media room for entertaining.
A dining room comfortably hosts up to 10 people and there is also a fully equipped office and butler’s quarters.
The second floor includes a spectacular master bedroom which features a spacious bathroom complete with a marble spa bath and steam shower.
A second king-size bedroom features a deluxe ensuite, with the luxury extending to the fitness room complete with infrared sauna.
An open-air terrace comes with a heated, private infinity pool.
Swift landed just in Sydney at about 1.30pm on Monday after her flight was delayed 30 minutes due to the severe thunderstorms.
