EVEN Sydney's mosquitoes found Taylor Swift impossible to resist at her Sydney stadium show at the SFS on Wednesday night.
The crossover country-pop star swatted and slapped as the mossies descended for her only Sydney gig - an outdoor one which took place on a windy and humid night.
Post show the singer posted a photograph of herself back in her hotel room where she found a Christmas tree had been erected while she'd been on stage performing: "There's a Christmas tree in my hotel room and I'm really happy about it out."
It followed the distribution of a Secret Santa gifts pre gig - the songbird received a Beach Boys Concert vinyl record from Santa during the concert warm-up prompting her to run down the halls screaming "Santa".
The day after 40,000 Sydneysiders packed the SFS, Swift and her entourage yesterday (subs Thur) took a day out to drink Sydney in and enjoy a leisurely lunch.
Next stop, Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night.

FROM YESTERDAY:
TAYLOR SWIFT ON FIRE IN SYDNEY Kathy McCabe
TAYLOR Swift was on time, on song and on fire with her opening Australian concert in Sydney on Wednesday night.
The 23-year-old Taylor Swift, the American country artist turned pop star, is the first female artist to play our sports stadiums since Madonna two decades ago.
Swift's concert at the Allianz Stadium threw down to her peers as 40,000 ecstatic and enthral led girls and their bemused parents experienced every Olympic hair flick, dramatic arm flourish and morality tale.
SEVEN REASONS WHY WE LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT
TAYLOR SWIFT LAPS IT UP ON EVE OF AUSTRALIAN TOUR

Her musicality is undeniable as evidenced by those pristine live vocals which can be tough to push out in such a big crowded space and her playing.

There ain't no other pop stars playing banjo as well as guitar and piano.
Swift's Red tour is constructed more as a musical in several acts rather than a conventional concert.

There's the geek dancing in the bedroom Taylor, the acoustic guitar porch singer Taylor, the Hollywood glamour Taylor, Princess Taylor and the T-shirt and sneakers girl-next-door Taylor.
And there was chatty Taylor who would spend five minutes opining about love, heartbreak, emotions and mean people.

Of course her largely teen and tween audience hung on every word.
The musical may be heavily scripted but Swift breaks from it when she presses the flesh along the long corridor from the B stage back to the main stage during Sparks Fly.
She injected some more local spontaneity with an Aussie Aussie Aussie chant.
Her pyros and set design made the Justin Bieber shows look like a suburban shopping mall talent quest.
It is completely obvious why Swift is the parent's choice for the perfect pop role model even with that mouthed F bomb in 1D's direction during the MTV VMAs earlier this year.

The wildly successful young woman is talented, confident, aspirational and fully clothed.
Her dancing is more a cross between ballet and game show hostess poses than twerking and grinding.
Maybe talent and hits can still win.
