Special choreography: Swift and Kelce praise “Eras” fans in Gelsenkirchen

The “Eras Tour” led superstar Taylor Swift in 51 cities around the world – but of all people the appearances in Gelsenkirchen seem to have stayed in their heads. He still remembers Gelsenkirchen exactly, said footballer Kelce in his podcast “New Heights”, which he moderated together with his brother Jason Kelce.

Swift: Fan experience was “so special”

During the song “Willow”, in which the dancers move on stage with shining balls, the fans had done the same thing in the audience. “They really danced in a circle, lifted balls and passed them on to each other,” said Kelce.

This fan tradition was created during the “Eras” shows in Europe, said Swift. The fans had brought balloons to the stadium, inflated them and made them shine with their cell phone lights. “It was crazy to look and see how spontaneously thousands of these balls rose.” She has no idea how the “Swifties” would have organized that at all. “It was so special,” emphasized the singer. “It felt like we were all part of something that you couldn’t plan like that.”

“What did you just say?” Gelsingerken “?”

With his pronunciation of “Gelsenkirchen”, Kelce ensured amusement. “What did you just said?” Gelsingerken “?” Asked his brother Jason. “This is actually … this is a city?” – Whereupon Kelce said: “If you speak it out with a German accent, it probably sounds more like the actual city. But my American accent is:” Gelsingerken “.”

New “era” begins on October 3

The fans would have invented many other such actions. “At the end of the tour it was like the” Rocky Horror Picture Show ” – they had their own choreography,” said Swift.

The 35-year-old appeared as a guest in the episode, which was released on Wednesday evening (local time). She not only spoke about the past “Eras Tour”, but also announced a new “Era”: a new album entitled “The Life of a Showgirl”, which will be released on October 3.
