The British singer-songwriter kicked off her national tour on Tuesday in front of 65,000 fans at Domain Stadium in Perth.

Adele fans fill Domain Stadium
Adele drew a crowd of 65,000 fans to Domain Stadium last night, the biggest in West Australian history. Vision: Today Perth News.
It was the first time the 28-year-old had performed in Australia and the first time she had hosted a gig at a stadium, with the two-hour show centred on a spectacular custom-built 360 degree stage.
And early on in the Brit pop queen's set, she spied a woman in the crowd who looked remarkable like her ... so decided to pull her up on stage.
The lucky fan was Perth DJ, Adele impersonator and drag artist Feminem, who is a regular performer at Connections Nightclub and the Court Hotel.
The pair shared some banter before taking a selfie together.
Feminem said she had been asked to be a part of the all male choir that sang along with the potty mouthed diva but declared she had bought a $700 dress for the night so thought she would come as a fan instead.
She said: "F--- it! I think IÂ made the right call."
As the pair prepared to take a selfie, Adele joked: "Why didn't you tell me I had such a sweaty face.... You look better than I do... we can't have that!"
Then Feminem did what any impersonators would do – she grabbed the microphone and belted out her own rendition of Adele's classic Rumour Has It.  Â
Feminem told local Radio 6PR on Wednesday morning "it was crazy" to be on stage in front of 65,000 people.
"I kind of caught her eye in the first 15 minutes of the show and she gave me a bit of a wink and a wave and I was just having fun," she said.
"And then when she came further and was walking down the cat walk, she circled the stage she stopped and she said 'I want to meet you'.
"A security guard grabbed me by the hand and whisked me off and that was that."
Feminem said Adele was everything she hoped the British superstar would be.
"She is very funny, she is down to earth ... to be up there next to her cracking jokes and stuff was just crazy," she said.
"Security then walked me back to my spot and I just kind of chilled and watched the rest of the show."
And while Domain Stadium was filled to the brim with Adele fans there was a fair amount of adulation for her lesser known impersonator after the record breaking concert.
"After the show, I got mobbed by people who wanted selfies, coming up and saying hello," she said.
"That was pretty full on but it was nice."
