Due to severe thunderstorms, the singer was forced to postpone her show by two hours, giving it a new start time of 10:30 pm.
Fans were forced to evacuate the venue until it stopped raining and were given a “no entry” warning.
“Due to pending weather conditions, there will be a delay in tonight’s performance,” the stadium screens read.
“All fans must leave the field seating and open air seating sections and seek shelter inside the stadium concourse immediately. Please take time to assemble all members of your party and calmly proceed inside the stadium concourse.”

FANS FIRST!
Lana, 39, checked in with concertgoers on her Instagram, asking them if they’d rather have a shorter show or a rescheduled performance.
“Do you want a one hour show tonight if it’s possible and the lightning stops? As opposed to a two hour show on Saturday,” she wrote in a post.
She also shared a selfie video to her Instagram Stories and went more in-depth on what was happening.
“Hi guys, so I’m down here at the bottom of Fenway. I have everyone here, they just cleared the stage,” she informed fans.
“So, every time the lightning strikes, we have to wait 20 minutes, and it just keeps striking.
“So what we were hoping for was to fill the room back up by 10 o’clock and at least do an hour-long show.
“That’s what we’re hoping for bare minimum. Worst case scenario, we reschedule for Saturday.
“I don’t know, I’m crossing my fingers and I’m down here with all the girls just hoping,” she noted.
After fans voted for the later slot, they were let back in and Lana was able to safely perform 15 songs.
