The surprise songs Taylor Swift played just for her Sydney audience - plus every track the pop star performed on night one at Accor stadium

Taylor Swift thrilled her fans at Accor stadium on Friday night as she performed the first Sydney show of her Eras tour. 

The American superstar has become well known for her tradition of belting out two special songs for each of her audiences during the sold out tour in addition to her usual set. 

And when it came to Sydney, Taylor picked the surprise track How You Get The Girl from her album 1989, which she performed on an acoustic guitar. 

She explained that she chooses a special song that feels right for every audience on the night, and hoped that she'd picked correctly for Sydney. 

'I kinda pick the songs for each individual crowd and hope I get it right,' the Bad Blood hitmaker said.

It was clearly a solid pick as the response was wild cheers from the crowd who enthusiastically screamed the words to the track. 

'Do you know how loud you're singing, it's so loud I'm overjoyed,' Taylor told them.  

The second of the surprise songs came when Taylor invited her support act Sabrina Carpenter Sabrina on stage for the pair to perform a cover of White Horse mashed up with Coney Island. 

Swift's first Sydney concert got off to a late start on Friday night after storms and rain caused Accor stadium to be temporarily evacuated.

Despite the set for support act Sabrina Carpenter being cancelled, Swift finally took the stage a little over 20 minutes after the scheduled start time of 7.30pm. 

Proudly watching on was her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who caused a roar from the crowd as he arrived to proudly view his pop star lover do what she does best.

Wild weather lashing Sydney on Friday evening caused chaos for the 80,000 Swifties heading to her first show of the Eras Tour in the city.

Fans sitting on the floor and lower bowl levels of the stadium were asked to move inside after lightning struck just 10 kilometres away shortly before 6pm.

A statement from Accor Stadium issued just before 6pm told concert-goers the three-hour show had been delayed.

'Please note, due to weather, show start time has been delayed,' it said.

'Stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions.

'Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you.'

Swift took to the stage at about 7.50pm, while her support act Sabrina Carpenter was axed for Friday night's performance.
