Podium collapse in Australia halts Swift show
Monday, December 9, 2013 – Taylor Swift's Brisbane, Australia concert on Saturday had to be temporarily halted due to the collapse of a podium near the stage.
No one was injured in the accident, which halted the concert. Promoters should the lights, lunging Suncorp Stadium into concert. Fans were hurried away from the area. It was unclear what caused the problem.
"I'm going to come back and sing for you and we're going to pretend like this never happened. Love you Brisbane," said Swift to the crowd.
Less than one percent of fans were affected, and those fans can receive a complete refund. They were located to a different area of the stadium during the show. About 40,000 people attended the show.
Swift's Australia tour began Wednesday in Sunday and continues this Wednesday in Perth and Saturday in Melbourne.

Taylor Swift has made the best CD of her young career with her fourth CD. The biggest difference is that Swift's singing, spotty on previous releases and live performances, is far far superior here.
Swift wrote all 14 songs here, which like her other albums tend to deal with relationships that have gone south. Swift's songwriting always has been one of her strengths, and that continues to be the case here - both lyrically and musically. Put simply, Swift knows a lot about penning ...
Taylor Swift took the county world by storm with her huge selling debut and its five hit singles. With a huge marketing push and myspace, Swift was on her way. Kind of like an Avril Lavigne for the teen female country set.
