To the cheers of 60,000 people, Taylor Swift started her first German concert of the current tour – and greeted her fans in a special way.
US superstar Taylor Swift greeted her fans in Gelsenkirchen in German. “Gelsenkirchen, welcome to the ‘Eras Tour’! Good evening,” the 34-year-old called out to the cheers of 60,000 fans in the sold-out arena.
“Nice to see you,” she said, also in German. The musician’s performance in the Ruhr city marks the start of her concerts in Germany. In English, she said: “It won’t be that long before I come back.”
Swift’s last German tour was nine years ago. Her current world tour started in March 2023 and sparked excitement around the world, with each show selling out within minutes.
Swift will also perform in Gelsenkirchen on Thursday and Friday with the opening act Paramore. The city is expecting around 200,000 fans for the musician’s three concerts. Further German shows will then take place in Hamburg (July 23 and 24) and Munich (July 27 and 28).
