Taylor Swift is in town for her Australian concert tour, which kicked off last Wednesday night at Sydney's Allianz Stadium.

More than 40,000 people, mostly young girls and their parents, gathered at the stadium to watch TSwift and her band play songs in her signature flair. The event was also a bit of history in the making, as this is the first time in two decades that a solo female artist performed in the city's sports stadiums, the earliest being Madonna.

Kathy McNabe of News.co.au noticed that the flow of the show was more like 'a musical in several acts than a conventional concert, with Taylor transforming into different personas every time.' McNabe also noticed that Taylor spent five minutes 'opening about love, heartbreak, emotions and mean people.'

It's as if everywhere she goes, Taylor just can't help but talk about her songwriting, which has made her famous apart from her roller-coaster-like love life. Taylor Swift tells Fairfax Media, 'One of my great challenges has been remaining vulnerable enough to write songs about my life when I know those songs are going to be dissected for tabloid fodder, but of my job has to be not thinking about things I can't control.'

George Palathingal, on the other hand, said over Sydney Morning Herald that the show was 'barely an album's worth of material over nearly two hours.' The reports goes on to add that maybe next time Taylor Swift could 'really cause some trouble.'

Before her Sydney show, Taylor tells Fairfax Media that fans could expect a 'huge set pieces and fire and smoke and giant things that come down and then disappear and then people popping up out of the floor and people on wires.' Swift emphasized her excitement to bring these spectacles in her Aussie tour. In fact, Swift did not disappoint -- the pyros and set design during the Sydney show, as McNabe puts it, 'made the Justin Bieber shows look like a suburban shopping mall talent quest.' Take 40, meanwhile, says that none of the foreign acts that recently held their tours in Sydney 'could compare in scale + production with the behemoth that is Taylor Swift's Red Tour.'

Finally, the country crooner did not forget to show some Aussie love to her fans from "Down Under" with a video of her chanting the 'Aussie Aussie Aussie' chant.

All that in Sydney alone. That makes it enough reason for fans from other Aussie cities to enjoy the Swift spectacle in the coming days of December. Swift will be at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on Saturday, Perth's nib Stadium on December 11 and Melbourne's Etihad Stadium (the biggest venue in her Aussie tour) on December 14.
