Taylor Swift continues to surpass milestones and make history in her music career. During her Eras Tour, the 34-year-old singer achieved her highest attendance so far, performing to an impressive crowd of 96,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.

This sold-out show exceeded the turnout of any of Swift's previous concerts, including her performance for 74,000 fans at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey back in May. In a video shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), Swift expressed her awe and gratitude to the massive audience, stating, 'This is the biggest show that we have done on this tour or any tour I have ever done.'

Clearly humbled by the overwhelming response, Swift highlighted her excitement about so many people choosing to spend their Friday night with her in Melbourne. The beloved artist made her first Australian tour appearance since 2018, where she wowed fans with her Reputation shows. Swift is set to captivate audiences at the Melbourne Cricket Ground again on February 17th and 18th, followed by upcoming performances at Sydney's Accor Stadium next weekend.

Swift's recent Melbourne show comes on the heels of her quick trip to Las Vegas to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, during the Super Bowl. Kelce played a crucial role in helping the Kansas City Chiefs secure a victory against the San Francisco 49ers. Although they couldn't celebrate Valentine's Day together due to their respective commitments, Kelce made a heartfelt gesture by dancing to Swift's hit song 'You Belong with Me' during the Super Bowl celebration. Swift gushed about this romantic moment in a video that has since gone viral on social media.

While Kelce hasn't been spotted in Australia yet, a close source reveals that he is prepared to spend the offseason supporting Swift, much like she supported him at his football games throughout the season. Despite the attention and busy schedules, the insider shares that Kelce remains focused on what's important and ready to show up for Swift.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour continues to impress and draw in enormous crowds, showcasing her immense talent and unwavering popularity. As she sets new attendance records, it's undeniable that Swift's star power and ability to connect with fans only continue to grow.
