Sydney Swifties were given an additional particular deal with throughout the acoustic segment of Taylor Swift’s Friday, February 23, live performance: a mash-up and a duet.
Swift, 34, kicked off her four-night streak at Accor Stadium on Friday with opener Sabrina Carpenter, who was compelled to cancel her set at the closing minute due to a rain lengthen and lightning strikes.

“We were speaking, I believe it would had been one of the crucial times we had been at the zoo. We’ve [spent] one hundred p.c of our days off here,” Swift, who took boyfriend Travis Kelce on a separate shuttle to the Sydney Zoo after his arrival in Australia, quipped. “I don’t think you guys know how cool kangaroos are. They are so cool, so strong, so bouncy.”
While on their zoo outing, Carpenter published that Swift’s song “White Horse” was “in reality important” to her rising up. In party, the two women performed the Fearless (Taylor’s Version) song for the gang. Their rendition of “White Horse” was once seamlessly mashed up with “Coney Island” from Swift’s 2020 document Evermore.
Swift’s first surprise music of the night time was once “How You Get the Girl” from 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which she carried out solo on her guitar.
Swift kicked her Australian Eras Tour dates earlier this month, with Carpenter returning as the opening act. (She previously took the stage all through Swift’s excursion stops in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil.)
“I’m now not gonna say I peed my pants because that sounds really graphic and maybe now not sanitary, but I believe it in point of fact simply caught me off guard,” Carpenter instructed Who What Wear in January of getting the decision to join the 14-time Grammy winner at the highway. “It was very much a childhood dream come true. I still probably have not processed it if I’m being utterly honest with you.”
