The Great Taylor Swift Tally: How Many Times Has She Graced Melbourne with Her Sparkly Presence?
Ah, Melbourne. City of laneways, excellent coffee, and apparently, Taylor Swift's favorite Australian playground. But just how many times has the queen of catchy tunes blessed us Melburnians with her live performances? Buckle up, Swifties (and curious cats), because we're about to dive into the concert archives.
The Eras Tour Takeover: Three Nights of Epic
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
Let's start with the most recent memory burning bright in our minds (and on our Instagram feeds). The Eras Tour. Three glorious nights, February 16th, 17th, and 18th, 2024, saw the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) transformed into a shimmering spectacle of singalongs and epic dance moves. Each night, a staggering 96,000 fans (that's right, 96,000!) roared their approval, making it one of the biggest concert attendances in Melbourne history. Some might say it was a Love Story for the ages!
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
So, was that it? Did the Eras Tour mark the first and only time Taylor graced Melbourne with her presence?
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
Hold your horses (or should we say, shake it off?) The truth is, Taylor's been a Melbourne regular for a while now. While there isn't a definitive online record of every single concert she's ever done (because let's face it, the internet wasn't that cool back in the early 2000s), we do know she's been here before. There are whispers of her joining Rascal Flatts on tour back in 2006, but details are hazy (much like the memories after a good concert).
Reminder: Take a short break if the post feels long.
The Verdict: A City of Song and Sparkles
So, while we can't pinpoint an exact number that goes back to the dawn of time, it's safe to say Taylor Swift has a soft spot for Melbourne. Three epic nights with The Eras Tour solidify her love for our fair city, and with any luck, there will be many more concerts to come. In the meantime, we'll just be here, replaying "Shake it Off" on repeat and dreaming of the next time she brings her magic down under.
