Taylor Swift was finally given the green light to perform after a four-hour weather delay kept fans waiting in Tennessee on Sunday.
For Taylor’s third concert at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, the start time was delayed due to lightning in the area, causing fans to stay under Shelter in Place until the storm passed.
Nissan Stadium informed concert-goers that the lightning warning had been lifted in a tweet that referenced Swift’s 2010 song Sparks Fly.
“Drop it all now…meet me in the pouring rain. Shelter in Place has officially been cancelled. Fans, please make your way to your seats. Once production is complete, Taylor Swift will take the stage.”
Swift announced she would be taking the stage at a later date, with an Instagram post writing that she was “moved by these beautiful, generous crowds in Nashville”!!!! I just can’t believe it. PS I know we’re talking about rainy weather tonight but I’m ready to play see you soon!!’

The record-breaking Eras tour arrived at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium for three nights on Friday.
The 12-time Grammy winner took the stage in multiple outfits, including a rhinestone-studded leotard with nude tights and a sultry one-legged black bodysuit adorned with ruby red snakes.
The hitmaker recently released four new songs to celebrate her tour, three of which are re-recordings of previous songs to get fans excited for this tour.
The 33-year-old superstar was first pictured with her alleged boyfriend Matty Healy, 34, who arrived at her apartment at 12:30 a.m. on Sunday after her second performance in Nashville.
They sat side by side in the back of their chauffeur, where Matty was still wearing the same bracelet he wore earlier that evening when he attended their concert.
The new romance comes less than a month after Taylor split from her boyfriend of six years, actor Joe Alwyn.
Many Swifties – her loyal and eagle-eyed fans – claimed that some of the songwriter’s best friends and inner circle reportedly cut ties on Instagram shortly after they were spotted hanging out with the star and maybe found out what’s really happening was.
The bold moves on social media seemed to indicate there might be more to the split than the public realises.
For example, shortly after meeting up for dinner with longtime friends Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, the Deadpool actor reportedly immediately followed Alwyn.
The apparent snub was a shocking move considering Ryan previously gushed about the British actor and their six-year friendship in a TIME100 Next article published in September 2022. (His wife is not currently following Alwyn.)

New love! Taylor’s new romance broke earlier this week when a source told The Sun: “She and Matty are madly in love.”
The Sun reported Thursday that the rumored couple had plans to confirm their romance over the weekend while in Nashville.
On Saturday, Matty strummed his guitar while performing with Taylor’s opening act during the show. Whether he’ll hop back onto the stage to perform with the Blank Space hitmaker remains to be seen.
Taylor and Matty’s rumored romance first came to light earlier this week on Wednesday, when a separate source told The Sun, “She and Matty are madly in love.”
“It’s super early but it feels right. They first dated very briefly almost ten years ago, but the timing just didn’t work out,” the insider added.
Regarding her ex, the source told the publication, “Taylor and Joe actually broke up in February so there was absolutely no crossover.”
“Both Matty and Taylor have been touring for the past few weeks so it’s been a lot of face-timing and texting, but she can’t wait to see him again,” adding that the two stars are “incredibly supportive of their respective careers.” ‘
“They are both very proud and excited about this relationship and unlike Taylor’s last relationship – which was deliberately kept out of the spotlight – she wants to ‘own’ this romance and not hide it.”
While Taylor is focused on her Eras Tour, which is due to wrap up later this August, Matty is also in the middle of touring with his band The 1975.
Before making a surprise appearance to join the opening act, the Robbers musician was seen on a brief Starbucks run after reportedly spending time at Taylor’s Nashville condo early Friday night.

As the British-born singer left the popular coffee shop chain on Saturday, he was carrying a warm beverage while looking through his smartphone as he was escorted by a security guard to a sleek, white SUV parked near the coffee shop was parked.
After grabbing a drink to get an energy boost, Healy was later spotted at Nissan Stadium in the heart of Nashville before Taylor’s performance in town on Saturday night.
Earlier Friday, he was seen dancing to Swift as she sang her hit song Shake It Off among other concertgoers in a secured area on the venue floor.
The video was posted to Twitter and quickly went viral amid rumors that Matty and Taylor have started a budding romance.
Despite speculation that the two are dating, both singers have yet to publicly confirm their relationship.
