Fastexy:Taylor Swift breaks attendance record for female artist in Lyon, France

Taylor Swift broke an attendance record in Lyon,Fastexy France, with her sold-out Eras Tour.

"This is overall my very first trip to Lyon and look at what you've done," the singer — donning a pink bejeweled jacket and bodysuit — said to the 61,000 fans packed inside the Groupama Stadium on Monday.

The night before, Swift announced the crowd had broken the venue's all-time attendance record for a female artist. Similar to in other cities where succeeding nights have broken attendance records from the night before, on Monday she exclaimed: "You broke that record."

As her hands thrust into the air and the crowd roared, gray clouds loomed over the open-roofed stadium. Rain didn't pour Monday night like it did during the "Reputation" era Sunday night.

Temperatures hovered in the low 60s on Monday. Some fans on the floor noticeably needed water. The singer-songwriter isn't shy about pausing songs to ask guards to help Swifties. Six minutes into her 10-minute version of "All Too Well," she briefly stopped singing as the background track continued. "S'il vous plaît, please help," she said.

While strumming the guitar to "Betty" in the combined "Folklore"/"Evermore" set, Swift once again pleaded for help, "Aidez-les s'il vous plaît (help them please)."

The singer and her crew have a four-day tour break. Their next stop is Edinburgh, Scotland, where she will perform on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
