Taylor Swift has taken the stage in Australia for the last time tonight as she completes our leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour with one last show in Sydney.

The singer’s four-night stint at Sydney’s Accor Stadium is coming to an end on Monday evening, by the end of which she’ll have performed to over 300,000 fans over the course of her string of shows.

Looking at this crowd, the biggest crowd we’ve had at our four shows here!” the singer told the heaving stadium after taking the spotlight.

One Swiftie has shared their pain after arriving at the wrong location for tonight’s show. Sally Obermeder posted a video of herself at an empty Homebush station after assuming that was where she needed to get off.

The actual station that will be flooded with fans is Olympic Park, roughly 3km away.

“I am more big picture,” she said. “Sometimes I skim the details. And then I end up in these situations – I got off at Homebush. Because that’s what I thought when people said ‘Taylor Swift is performing at Homebush’.”

Outraged Taylor Swift fans have called out Australia online for special treatment from the pop superstar, with some of her most popular songs getting exclusive mashups on her Eras Tour Down Under.

On Sunday night in Sydney, Swift performed an exclusive mashup of her two songs Haunted and Exile to roaring applause and millions of views online.

This is the second time she’s performed Exile during her concert tour, with Swift telling Australian audiences that she’d start repeating some of the unique “surprise” songs that she’d played each night.

Australia has won the Eras Tour,” one commenter wrote on TikTok to 19,000 likes.

You’re out here making me feel like I’m the first artist to play four shows at Accor Stadium!” Swift said after taking the stage.

“I guess what I’m trying to say is that you make me feel like the man.”

At which point she launched into The Man, with much of the crowd singing along, followed by You Need To Calm Down. Then she addressed the crowd again.

Well I am absolutely delighted to say these words to you. Sydney: welcome to the Eras Tour! This is our final night of four. And we have had the most wonderful time, I’ve got to tell you that,” Swift said.

“You are here in one of the most exciting cities in the world, and you chose to hang out with us. Thanks guys!

“You might be wondering if we ever get tired. A three-and-a-half hour show – I don’t know if anyone told you that, buckle up – the answer is no.

Here’s what happens in our last show in a city. We have been saving our energy for you.

For every thousand tales of people desperately refereshing Ticketek’s website to no avail, there is at least one lucky fan who managed to snap up last-minute tickets.

“I actually can’t believe it,” one TikTok user, Jasmine, told her followers in a post today, saying “sneaky Ticketek” had quietly uploaded more tickets.

“At like 11.30 last night, I got B Reserve tickets to Taylor Swift because they went online at Ticketek. How crazy is that?

“I’m so excited.”

At the time, she advised people who still hoped to attend Swift’s last Sydney show to keep trying the Ticketek site. Granted, it’s a little late for that now.

Before Swift hits the stage, her support act Sabrina Carpenter will entertain fans with some of her biggest pop bangers.

All eyes will be on Carpenter, who has proved to be quite the controversial opening act after she sang some highly-sexualised lyrics in front of some of Swift’s younger fans.

Near the end of her set, Carpenter performs her hit Nonsense and changes some of lyrics in the final chorus to pay tribute to whichever city she’s singing in at the time.

In the original track, Carpenter sings: “This song catchier than chickenpox is, I bet your house is where my other sock is, woke up this morning and thought I’d write a pop hit. How quickly can you take your clothes off – pop quiz?”

Carpenter’s lyrical alterations have been growing increasingly risqué since she began performing on the Eras Tour, but her Aussie performances might just be her sauciest yet.

In Sydney on Saturday night, Carpenter continued to stir up controversy when she changed the lyrics to: “When you go down under, do you miss me? He’s so big I felt it in my kidney, screamed so loud they heard it here in Sydney.”
