Taylor Swift celebrates huge milestone: I'm 'totally starstruck'

Taylor Swift just played to her biggest crowd in Melbourne, Australia.

Taylor Swift is absolutely starstruck.

The international pop star kicked off the Australian leg of her ongoing Era Tour in Australia's Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday in front of her biggest ever crowd.

This is the biggest show we've done on this tour or any tour I've ever done," Swift told the audience in a clip from the record-breaking concert circulating online.

That's the version you've got of me tonight, the version that's completely influenced by the fact that so many of you wanted to hang out with us on Friday night in Melbourne," he said.

The multi-Grammy winner has previously played to some impressive crowds, including a crowd of 74,000 at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium in May.

However, with a sold-out Melbourne show to a crowd of 96,000, Swift marked her return to Australia after eight years with a record-breaking performance.

He is now set to perform at the same venue again on Saturday, February 17 and Sunday, February 18 before heading to Sydney for next weekend's shows at Acre Stadium.
