Taylor Swift indulged in some retail therapy with friends on Brunswick Street in Melbourne yesterday. She wore a cute cream dress and blue shoes that matched the number ‘13’ drawn on her hand. The country star’s shopping jaunt came after a successful night of performing in the city, which she tweeted was “wonderful.” She enjoyed her second night just as much, writing, “MELBOURNE NIGHT 2- YOU WERE SO LOUD, I HAD TO WRITE IT IN ALL CAPS. What a pleasure, getting to play for a crowd like that.” Since landing in Australia almost two weeks ago, Taylor has had lots of downtime to enjoy things like going to the beach, celebrating her dad’s birthday, and seeing sights by night on boat rides. After she wraps up the Aussie leg of her Speak Now tour, she’ll head to New Zealand.
