Taylor Swift kicked off the final leg of her Eras Tour with the first of three shows at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida on Friday.
Rain would pour down but not enough to dampen the spirits of the 61,000 excited Swifties in the audience.
Swift — who debuted four new Eras Tour outfits — treated fans by bringing out a special guest during the epic three-hour concert.
She was joined on stage by Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine for a duet of their hit song Florida, which is off Swift’s latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
Swift came out on stage alongside Welch decked out in a white dress with ‘Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me? You Should Be’ written across the bottom puffy half of her custom Vivienne Westwood high-low skirt.

As for Welch, she looked amazing in a white dress of her own with black lace in various parts of the number including the bottom portion.
Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce wasn’t able to make it to the show, due to his practice schedule ahead of Sunday’s showdown in San Francisco, other member of the football star’s family were on hand.
Kelce’s brother Jason was seen arriving at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium for the opening show with wife Kylie and their daughters Wyatt, five, and Elliotte, three – as well as his mom Donna.
The Grammy winner belted out a number of hits on the spacious stage, and debuted a new Fearless ensemble to her cheering fans.
Taylor wore a tasseled, shimmering dress that sparkled under the bright lights and contained hues of light gold and blue.
She additionally slipped into a pair of knee-high, dazzling boots and allowed her blonde locks to flow down past her shoulders in light waves.
At one point while donning the outfit, Swift pulled out her rhinestone-covered guitar as she sang more tracks for the sold-out audience.
During the staggering 46-song set, which typically has been running at least three hours and 15 minutes, the singer-songwriter was seen joining in on the choreography with her backup dancers as rain pelted down into the stadium.
She got the show started with Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince, off of her Lover album, which led into Cruel Summer, The Man, You Need To Calm Down and then Lover, to cap off the first act of the concert.
After the Fearless and Red segments each consisted of three songs she delivered songs from Red, Speak Now, Reputation, Folklore/Evermore, before delving into tunes from 1989.
