Taylor Swift’s inaugural Eras Tour event in Sydney featured some well-known faces.
Along with her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who showed his support for the 34-year-old pop sensation, fellow singers Katy Perry and Rita Ora were also spotted in the audience at Friday night’s event.
Perry, 39, later posted several photos and videos from the show on Instagram, including a beaming selfie with Swift backstage. “Got to see an old friend shine tonight ️,” the American Idol judge captioned the carousel.
The “Roar” singer’s post also included footage of Swift singing her songs “You Belong With Me” and “Bad Blood,” as well as a photo with Ora, 33, at the VIP tent. During Swift’s performance of the latter song, Perry spun her camera around to show herself making a surprised look and mouthing the lyrics.
Ora also shared photos from the concert on Instagram and stood backstage with Swift, who was wearing a bedazzled bodysuit, and her husband Taika Waititi. During the concert, Ora met Kelce, 34, and posed for a photo with the Kansas City Chiefs star in the VIP tent.

The bracelets were inspired by the words to Swift’s Midnights song “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” notably the phrase, “Make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.”
Perry and Ora, who also showed off her remarkable collection of friendship bracelets, wore all-black to the concert, with Ora wearing a black cap and strapless dress and Perry wearing a cropped black waistcoat with thin white stripes and matching flared trousers.
Ora and Waititi co-hosted the annual MTV EMA ceremony in Düsseldorf, Germany, in November 2022, where they awarded Swift with one of four prizes she received that evening.

Meanwhile, Perry’s support for Swift on her tour comes after the “Bon Appétit” singer revealed why the two chose to set aside their disagreements after a years-long complex relationship that appears to have inspired Swift’s “Bad Blood” and Perry’s track “Swish Swish.”
In a July 2020 appearance on the Howard Stern Show, Perry stated that she and Swift wanted to publicly bury the hatchet and set “an example” for their younger followers.

“Gossip in life can take the lift, but truth climbs the stairs. “It just takes time,” Perry stated at the time, adding that the media exaggerated their feud and that they are now “super friendly.”
“What I’m so grateful for is we did get to make up publicly and got to be an example of redemption for young girls,” she went on to say. “I always wanted the best for her and now we can talk about the best we want for each other.”
The couple had previously reunited for Swift’s “You Need to Calm Down” music video, with Perry dressed as a burger and Swift as french fries.

Swift’s performance on Friday was the first of four at the Accor Stadium. The “Anti-Hero” singer is scheduled to perform in Australia till February 26 before going to Singapore for her next tour stop on March 2.
The event was postponed owing to inclement weather, with the Accor Stadium informing attendees on X to “stay undercover until further notice and follow venue screens and staff instructions.” “Stay safe and remember to be kind to those around you,” it said.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Swift addressed the weather on stage, telling the 81,000-strong audience, “An Aussie crowd will never let anything get in the way.”
