Taylor Swift was finally given the green light to perform after a four-hour weather delay left fans waiting in Tennessee on Sunday.
At Taylor’s third concert at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, the start time was delayed due to lightning in the area, leaving fans under Shelter in Place until the storm passed.
Nissan Stadium told concertgoers that the lightning warning had been lifted in a tweet that referenced Swift’s 2010 song Sparks Fly.
“Now drop everything… meet me in the pouring rain. Shelter in Place has officially closed. Fans, please start moving to your seats. Once production is complete, Taylor Swift will take the stage.”
Swift announced she would later take the stage with an Instagram post in which she wrote that she was “moved by these beautiful, generous crowds in Nashville!!!! I just can’t believe it. PS I know there’s a rainy weather feeling tonight, but I’m ready to play, see you soon!!’

The record-breaking Eras tour arrived in Nashville on Friday for three nights at Nissan Stadium.
The 12-time Grammy winner took the stage in multiple outfits, including a rhinestone leotard with nude tights and a sultry one-legged black bodysuit that was dazzling with ruby-red tubing.
The hitmaker recently dropped four new songs in honor of her tour, three of which are re-recordings of previous songs, to get fans excited about this tour.
The 33-year-old superstar was first photographed with her rumored beau Matty Healy, 34, arriving at her flat at 12.30am on Sunday after her second performance in Nashville.
They sat side by side in the back of their chauffeured vehicle, where Matty was still wearing the same bracelet he wore earlier that night when he attended her 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 besties and inner circle reportedly cut ties on Instagram shortly after being spotted hanging out with the star and perhaps learning what really happened.
The bold moves on social media seemed to suggest that there may be more to the story than the public knows.
Just after catching up over dinner with, say, old friends Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, the Deadpool actor reportedly unfollowed Alwyn immediately.
The obvious disapproval was a shocking move considering Ryan had previously stumbled upon 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 came to light earlier this week with a source telling The Sun: ‘She and Matty are madly in love’
The Sun reported on Thursday that the rumored couple had plans to confirm the romance over the weekend during her stop in Nashville.
On Saturday, Matty strummed his guitar while performing with Taylor’s support act during the show. Whether he will jump on stage again to perform with the Blank Space hitmaker remains to be seen.
The rumors of a romance between Taylor and Matty first came to light on Wednesday earlier this week, with a separate source telling The Sun: “She and Matty are madly in love.”
“It’s super early, but it feels good. They first dated, very briefly, almost a decade ago, but the timing just didn’t work,” the insider added.
Regarding her ex, the source told the publication, “Taylor and Joe broke up in February, so there was absolutely no crossover.”
“Both Matty and Taylor have been on tour 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 for their respective careers. .’
“They are both extremely proud and excited about this relationship and, unlike Taylor’s last relationship – which was deliberately kept very out of the spotlight – she wants to ‘own’ this romance, not hide it.”
While Taylor focuses on her Eras Tour, which will end in August later this year, Matty is also busy touring with his band The 1975.
Before making a surprise appearance to join the opening act, the Robbers musician was seen making a quick Starbucks run after reportedly spending time at Taylor’s Nashville apartment earlier Friday night.

As the British-born singer left the popular coffee shop chain on Saturday, he carried a hot drink in his hand while also checking his smartphone as he was led by a security guard to a sleek, white SUV parked at the coffee shop.
After grabbing a drink to get some energy, Healy was later seen arriving at Nissan Stadium in the heart of Nashville ahead of Taylor’s Saturday night performance on the town.
Earlier on Friday, he danced with Swift as she sang her hit, Shake It Off, among other concertgoers in a secure area on the floor of the venue.
The video was posted to Twitter and quickly went viral amid rumors that Matty and Taylor have embarked on a budding romance.
Despite the speculation that the two have entered a relationship, both singers have yet to publicly confirm that they are dating.
