Taylor Swift: The Eras tour Melbourne show review – eye-popping spectacle from a generous performer
Melbourne Cricket GroundSwift delivers a completely engrossing three and a half hours of pure joy, and with 96,000 fans in attendance, it’s the biggest show of the tour – and her career
Leading up to the hotly anticipated Australian leg of Swift’s Eras Tour, Melbourne was lit up with it all, from a Swift-themed academic symposium to a pop-up merchandise stand at Crown, to a projection on Flinders Street Station welcoming Swifties to town – with the clock striking 13, naturally. – which are represented by distinctive outfits and personalities: the dreamy hues of Lover, the gold of Fearless, the earthy, bucolic Folklore and Evermore, the gritty edge of Reputation, the princess gowns of Speak Now, the passion of Red, the metropolitan cool of 1989, the glitz and glam of Midnights.
