It seems nothing will rain on Taylor Swift’s parade, not even actual bad weather.
Last night, the 'Karma' singer took to the stage in Nashville in the pouring rain as she made her return to the home of country music.
Despite a four-hour delay due to thunder and lightning though, the 33-year-old went on the perform amid heavy showers.
The 1975’s Matt Healy was spotted watching the waterlogged event, fuelling fans' speculation that Swift and Healy are dating, after the 'Anti-Hero' singer split from her long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

An anonymous source even claimed that the musicians are ‘madly in love’ and told the Sun that they’d previously dated nearly a decade ago.
While it’s possible, given that the 1975 frontman has been friends with Swift for years, neither of them have confirmed whether they are dating.
To make matters even more confusing, Healy was seen getting a peck on the cheek from supporting act Phoebe Bridgers as they opened for the Grammy-award winner on May 6.
Despite the media storm surrounding Swift, it seemed to have had little effect on her performance last night.
It was thought that the concert would be cancelled, due to the heavy rainstorms in Nashville last night – however, the 'Shake It Off' singer had other ideas.

“There is one element on a stadium tour that you absolutely can’t plan on, and that’s the weather,” she joked, as she finally took to the stage at 10pm after hours of delays.
With Swift performing until 2am, fans have gushed about the once-in-a-lifetime performance – calling it ‘amazing’.
Footage from the unforgettable gig has begun to go viral on TikTok, with one Swiftie thanking the star for her commitment to the Eras tour.

They wrote: “Taylor did this because she feels she owes it to her fans, I'm proud of her, but I'm sure she was freezing.”
Others agreed with another adding: “You KNOW all those Swifties waited and waited in the cars or undercover. That’s amazing.”
Some even made reference to one of the singer’s many ballads, commenting: “You really met her in the pouring midnight rain.”
However, many overseas fans felt sorry for Swift as the concert was seriously delayed – giving them a rare opportunity to watch her live.

Writing the comments, one fan added a skull emoji and said: “As a Brit I was waking up and seeing that the livestreams were still on and I just knew she must’ve ran over BAD.”
Well, we guess the show must go on…
