Tens of thousands of concertgoers have descended upon Sydney for the first of four Taylor Swift The Eras Tour concert at ACCOR Stadium.

The American pop superstar kicks off her Sydney tour on Friday night and her fans came dressed in their finest ensembles.

Over 80,000 concert goers rolled into the venue ahead of Taylor taking the stage at 7.30pm.

With a cool change breezing into Sydney and a storm brewing after a sweltering summer day, moods could not be dampened.

Some opted for shirts declaring their fandom while others donned skimpy outfits in various shades of pink.

Many showed off their friendship bands, which are a staple for fans of the billionaire singer.

Cowboy hats, crop tops and lots of glittering sequins were also in order with several seen in sparkling ensembles.

Plenty of parents got in on the action, with some dressing up alongside their kids while others donned Swift shirts.

Others emulated Taylor’s outfits, with several opting for looks that the pop star herself has worn on tour.

Taylor spent the day relaxing ahead of the show she and her boyfriend Travis Kelce visited Sydney Zoo.

The popstar and her NFL star partner went on a date at the 16.5-hectare site earlier this week ahead of Swift’s three concerts in Australia’s biggest city, as they were spotted even petting a little kangaroo.

The pair are sparing no expense for their overseas reunion in Australia, with the two shacking up at one of Sydney’s swankiest and extravagant hotels.

With upscale restaurants, lavish facilities, and high-end amenities throughout the property, the venue boasts a guaranteed luxurious experience, something both Taylor and Travis are more than used to.

Yet, the loved-up couple still opted for the most opulent – and priciest – room the hotel has to offer – the Crown Presidential Villa.

The palatial residence is so ritzy, guests are required to inquire for its nightly rates, which typically starts at an eye-watering $16,300 (AUD$25,000) a night.

Billed as the property’s largest villa at 860sqft, two-story hotel room is situated on the 88th floor and features a stunning panoramic views of Sydney and Sydney Harbour through its floor-to-ceiling windows.
