Spectators who arrived later had to wait in their cars.
Taylor Swift addressed the delay on her social media: “I was so moved by this wonderful and generous Nashville crowd!!!! I can not believe it. PS: I know there are discussions about the rain tonight, but I’m ready to play, see you soon!
About three and a half hours later, stadium officials quoted Taylor Swift’s 2010 song Sparks Fly to announce the show could begin. To catch up, Phoebe Bridgers and Gracie Abrams, who provide the first part of the tour of the interpreter of Shake It Offdid not play.
Taylor Swift took the stage around 10 p.m.
As we can see from the videos of fans posted on social networks, if the weather conditions had calmed down, the rain continued.
Taylor Swift indeed appears soaked, which did not prevent her from performing the three-hour show.
This was the third and final concert in his hometown of Nashville. During the first show, Taylor Swift officially announced that her next re-recorded album would be Speak Now, which is slated for release on July 7 (23).
