Taylor Swift hit the stage in style on Thursday, as she kicked off the international leg of her tour at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Bad Blood hitmaker, 33, sparkled in a stunning pink sequin bodysuit and matching boots, while putting on a performance for over 70,000 fans.
The Grammy winner added two surprise songs to her set list: The Very First Night and Labyrinth, with the telling lyrics, ‘oh no, I’m falling in love again’, amid her new romance with Travis Kelce.
Her NFL beau, 34, was not present for Friday’s show but will reportedly support the singer this weekend, before returning to the States in time for practice next Monday.
However, as of Thursday night Travis was still in Kansas City, where he was seen at a gala supporting his teammate Patrick Mahomes at an event for the quarterback’s charity, 15 and the Mahomies Foundation.
The songstress looked exuberant and put on a dynamic performance, at one point even playfully giving her bicep a kiss, as she returned to the stage to continue her successful tour, following a short break after wrapping up her U.S. shows.
It was the first night of her three-day stop in Buenos Aires.
The superstar thrilled her adoring fans with a number of glamorous looks during the show.
Aside from her pink bodysuit, she also stunned in a hot pink blazer dress and matching boots.
Another look worn by the Anti-Hero singer consisted of a romantic gold and silver dress.
The parade of fashion continued with a stunning olive-toned gown, and later a two-piece beaded blue outfit that showed off her toned tummy.
Swift then made another fashion change, slipping into a dreamy pastel purple gown, before changing yet again into a glittering silver dress and lavender fur coat.
The show came to its conclusion with fireworks lighting up the sky.
Sabrina Carpenter, 24, was the singer’s opening act for the show. She sizzled in a white bustier style mini dress, and chunky silver boots. Her dress featured embellished crystal hearts on the bust.
Many fans are hoping to catch a glimpse of Kansas City Chief’s tight end Kelce at the show, with the player having a two-week break in his schedule.
Swift has been showing her support for her new beau by attending several games at the Arrowhead Stadium, and hosted a watch party for the WAGs at her New York apartment as the Chiefs took on the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
The superstar pair’s whirlwind romance has taken over America, with Taylor traveling to watch Travis play in three of his last four games.
It comes after Kelce teased his bye week plans on his ‘New Heights‘ podcast with his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce.
Speaking on the show, Travis was asked by his brother if he was looking forward to any upcoming plans.
‘No, not really,’ he said.
However, he soon added, ‘I might just say f*** it and just go somewhere nice, I don’t know. My skin’s getting real pale, so I gotta go somewhere sunny… closer to the equator.’
Jason then asked if his brother would be travelling ‘south of the equator,’ – where Argentina is, of course – which elicited a big laugh from Travis.
Swift touched down in Buenos Aires solo, on Wednesday afternoon.
The popstar is seen in exclusive DailyMail.com photos shielding herself with black umbrella as she stepped off her private jet on Wednesday.
Super fans of the pop sensation have been camping out for five months in anticipation of the star bringing her Eras Tour to Buenos Aires – telling DailyMail.com that they want to be first in line to see her.
Dozens of ‘Swifties’ have been sleeping in small tents outside of the Estadio River Plate Stadium in Argentina in a bid to get the first glimpse of the star on stage in two months.
It will be the first time that Taylor has ever played in South America, restarting the Eras Tour in Argentina for three nights, before travelling to Brazil.
But rising ticket prices in the US has seen fans from across the US making the trip to South America to watch the pop star – leaving locals concerned they might be pushed to the back of the line.
Other fans complained that supplies for friendship bracelets, which are popular with the fanbase, have completely sold out in Buenos Aires.
Footage inside the Estadio River Plate Stadium shows the process of Swift’s stage being built, with insiders telling DailyMail.com the set takes at least two days to recreate after being shipped from the US.
Apart from South America, Swift’s international run will also make stops in Asia and Australia, all the way into August 2024.
Swift will return to the States for a second round of shows in the U.S. and Canada beginning in fall 2024.
The Eras Tour – her first tour in five years – was announced last November.
In October it was reported that her lucrative Eras Tour is set to net the star a staggering $4.1 billion – the most an artist has ever made from a single tour in history.
The singer’s earnings solely from her worldwide tour are the equivalent of the economic output of 42 nations, according to estimates over her wealth from Peter Cohan, an associate professor of management at Babson College, cited by the Washington Post.
Swift’s record-breaking tour has also poured billions more into the US economy, with the huge production leading to extensive travel, ticket sales and merchandising opportunities for her legions of ‘Swifties.’
Average ticket prices stand at around $450, a hefty sum that has fueled a record-earning run for the star as she packs out stadiums across the globe.
Meanwhile her Eras Tour documentary-style film – which hit theaters last month – earned $95-$97 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend, according to The Wrap.
