Taylor Swift sent the crowd wild when she used an iconic Australian phrase during her second Eras show at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.

The global megastar, 34, kicked off her Australian tour on Friday and returned to the Melbourne stadium the next day for another epic show.

As well as impressing with her epic three-hour setlist, Taylor also left the 96,000-strong audience in hysterics during one moment of the concert.

The crowd erupted into loud shouts when she stopped her own Australian twist on her big hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.

The Grammy award-winning artist personalized her show for her Melbourne audience with the help of her backup dancer in the funny moment.

As she sang the song's normal lyrics into the microphone, she said, “This is exhausting, you know?” For example, we will never get together again.'

But Taylor then passed the microphone to a dancer, who pronounced the lyrics “no” as “naur” in a strikingly Australian twist, sending the crowd wild.

The crowd could be heard erupting into deafening screams as they were excited by the hilarious touch, as Taylor went straight into the song's chorus.

Taylor's support act Sabrina Carpenter also got into the Australian spirit when she too changed the lyrics of her song for the Melbourne audience.

The American singer, 24, started the performance at 6.30pm, ahead of Taylor's big debut, and performed some of her best-loved songs during her set.

The audience erupted into loud screams as she put her own Australian spin on her smash hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together with the help of her backup dancer.

And while performing her smash hit Nonsense, Sabrina surprised the audience by tweaking her lyrics to give them a special Australian twist.

In her best Aussie accent, she hilariously sang: 'I don't say “hello” I say “g'day mate” / I don't make a bevvy, I'm a lightweight / Melbourne, I just came, I saw, and I ate .'

On Saturday, Taylor once again attracted around 96,000 people to the MCG for her second show, after performing to the biggest crowd of her career on the opening night of her Australian tour.

Despite having already performed in major sports stadiums in the US, the opening night of her Australian tour broke records, as she has never performed in front of an audience of more than 74,000 people.

Commenting on her performance at her biggest show yet, Taylor told the 96,000-strong crowd on Friday: 'This is the biggest show we've done on this tour, or any tour I've ever done!

“That's the version you're getting from me tonight, the version that's totally blown away by the fact that so many of you wanted to hang out with us in Melbourne on Saturday night!”

As well as the huge crowds in the venue, enthusiastic fans who were unable to get their hands on the sought-after tickets gathered outside the MCG – after organizers raised concerns about the 15,000 extra fans expected to attend her shows.

Ahead of its shows in Sydney, Venues NSW has warned ticketless fanatics to stay away from Accor Stadium to avoid crowd management issues, The Daily Telegraph reported.

A spokesperson said fans who missed out on tickets should not try to “soak up the atmosphere” outside as they likely won't hear any songs anyway.

Meanwhile, Transport NSW coordinator general Howard Collins said the city was “preparing for the inevitable”.

“What we found at other popular music venues where people can't get tickets, people just show up to soak up the atmosphere, and you can't stop them except to manage the crowds,” he said.

“We are not encouraging ticketless fans to attend, but part of our contingency plan takes into account additional people who may be traveling and do not have tickets.”

But despite warnings from the NSW government, businesses are said to be rolling out the welcome mat to all Taylor fans, regardless of whether they have tickets.
