SYDNEY, New South Wales – Fans at Taylor Swift’s global Eras Tour in Australia were able to return to their seats on Friday after the event was postponed due to severe weather.
In videos posted on social media, excited fans could be heard re-entering Accor Stadium in Sydney, New South Wales, from the stadium’s tunnels and onto the venue’s floor that had been previously evacuated.
TAYLOR SWIFT HAS ERA OF BAD WEATHER FOR CONCERTS THIS TOUR SEASON
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology had forecast thunderstorms Friday near Sydney. The primary concerns were damaging winds exceeding 55 mph, large hail and localized heavy rain. The threat of severe thunderstorms has since eased across the region.
Swift’s fans know all too well that bad weather has plagued parts of the artist’s Eras Tour this year, but it isn’t karma, more a sign of a record-hot year and extreme weather driven by the El Niño climate pattern.
