Fears as Taylor Swift’s Sydney concerts gets CANCELLED amid city’s wild weather: ‘Fans are freaking out’
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for heavy rainfall, damaging winds and large hailstones for much of NSW on Friday and Saturday, placing a question mark above Swift’s first and second Sydney shows.
According to the Accor Stadium website, ‘events will go ahead rain, hail or shine’ unless the safety of patrons and the artist is at risk.
This leaves the potential for organisers to make last minute adjustments to Swift’s shows depending on the severity of the weather.
Concerned fans have taken to Reddit to speculate on whether these shows will be axed or postponed, with one writing: ‘Since it’s at Accor stadium and they have a rain policy, any chance it get’s cancelled if the weather’s bad.’
‘I can see a LOT of people freaking the f**k out if they do,’ the user added.
‘I’d say the only cancellation reason would be lightning. No one wants TayTay to die during an outdoor concert in Sydney!’ another wrote.
It’s at Accor, so it’s not fully under cover. She’s performed in the rain before so it would have to be very heavy rain and lightning for her to postpone. She’s only postponed two shows during this tour, I believe,’ someone else surmised.
Swift has already experienced setbacks thanks to Sydney’s stormy weather on Monday, after her private jet was delayed by up to 30 minutes as the pop star flew in from Melbourne.
