Once Swims finished his set, the crowd let out a collective scream and applause of appreciation, bringing a smile to the singer\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

He had success with his latest album I\u2019ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) and has amassed more than 8.7 billion song streams globally over the past few years.<\/p>\n

The soulful singer first performed in New Zealand with a Powerstation show in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Zealand is the first place that started showing me love,\u201d the Grammy nominee told the Herald\u2019s Bethany Haverland<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of our fanbase, more than anywhere, is right here. I don\u2019t know why they love Teddy Swims in New Zealand, but I love it here\u201d.<\/p>\n

Swims then went on to perform at the Auckland Town Hall in 2023<\/a>, wearing two pounamu, Huffer clothing and Stolen Girlfriends Club sunglasses in a show of support for Kiwi brands and culture.<\/p>\n

Swims has also been lauded for his critically acclaimed collaborations with other big names in the music industry such as Maren Morris, Meghan Trainor and X Ambassadors. He also won two awards, from eight nominations, at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.<\/p>\n

Swims is performing a sold-out show in Christchurch on Tuesday night before heading to Auckland to perform at Spark Arena on Thursday.<\/p>\n
