Taylor Swift’s Sydney era is going strong!

The “Daylight” singer, 34, performed her second show at Accor Stadium for about 81,000 fans on Saturday night in Sydney, Australia and it was full of sweet moments from the outset.

In one fanvideo posted on X(formerly known as Twitter) she spoke to the audience about her “incredible opening act” and revealed a sweet text interaction withSabrina Carpenterthat had taken place ahead of Swift’s Saturday performance.

“I texted Sabrina and said, ‘How are they out there?’ and her response was ‘Extremely lit and amazing’, " the “Blank Space” singer told the Sydney crowd before asking them to “give it up” for Carpenter, 24.

In another moment captured on video andposted on X,the singer stood on stage as the audience cheered their approval. “Ah Sydney, you are just … right off the bat you’re making me feel so … just extraordinary right now,” she told the crowd.

Swift then sweetly pointed her finger at the crowd and swept her arm across the stadium, as the crowds cheered in each section. “That was wild. I’m not going to lie to you, you just made me feel really, really powerful,” she added, before jokingly kissing her bicep.

“Please note, due to weather, show start time has been delayed. Stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions. Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you,” the stadiumsaid in a statementbefore Swift performed.

The weather didn’t stop the “Come in with the Rain” singer or her Swifties from going on with the show, however.

She took the stage at 7:50 p.m. local time, according to theSydney Morning Herald, but her supporting act Carpenter couldn’t perform because of the delay.

Instead of her solo set, Carpenter, 24, took the stage to perform a mashup of “White Horse” and “Coney Island” with Swift.

During her first Sydney show, Swift alsoannounced a new versionof her upcoming albumThe Tortured Poets Department.

“I think more than any of my albums that I’ve ever made, I needed to make it. It was really a lifeline for me. Just the things I was going through, the things I was writing about,” she told the crowd of the upcoming album. “It kind of reminded me of why songwriting was something that actually gets me through my life.”

Swift’s audiences in Sydney have already been filled with her famous friends. On Friday night,Katy Perry,Rita Oraand her husbandTaika Waititiwere spotted at Accor Stadium.

The singer performs her third Eras Tour show in Sydney on Sunday night, and the fourth and final show in the city on Monday night, both local time.
