Fans attending Taylor Swift's global Eras Tour in Australia experienced delays on Friday, February 23, due to severe weather conditions in Sydney, New South Wales. The concert at Accor Stadium was interrupted as the Australian Bureau of Meteorology had forecast thunderstorms with concerns of damaging winds exceeding 55 mph, large hail, and heavy rain in the region. The event had to be postponed for the safety of the attendees.

Videos shared on social media captured the excitement of fans re-entering Accor Stadium from the tunnels onto the floor seats after the venue had been evacuated initially. The stormy weather moving through Sydney was displayed on FOX Weather's radar on the same evening. Despite the disruptions caused by the bad weather, the threat of severe thunderstorms eventually eased in the area.

It is noted that adverse weather conditions have been a recurring issue during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour this year, likely influenced by the El Niño climate pattern and the record-hot year. Nonetheless, fans were grateful to have the opportunity to return to their seats and witness Taylor Swift's performance at Accor Stadium, providing a memorable experience despite the weather challenges.
