Taylor Swift Celebrates ‘Amazing’ and ‘Thoughtful’ German Fans After Her Eras Tour Shows in the Country

Taylor Swift’s fans in Germany have showered the star with kindness beyond her wildest dreams!

The “Fortnight” singer, 34, thanked supporters on Instagram on July 20 for their enthusiasm for her Gelsenkirchen Eras Tour concerts.

“Those 3 Gelsenkirchen crowds were AMAZING, and so thoughtful???” Swift captioned photos from the sold-out concerts.

“There were signs and paper hearts, the ‘Betty’ wave, and tons of DIY ‘willow’ orbs made out of balloons + phone flashlights. Thank you!!! 🫶🫶🫶,” she added of the unique things the crowd brought to the shows.

The Grammy winner expressed gratitude for everyone who supported her new album, *The Tortured Poets Department*, after its recent release.

“I am completely blown away by what you’ve done – [the album] stayed at #1 for the first 12 weeks of its release and that’s never happened to an album of mine before, not even close!!,” Swift wrote. “You’re just the greatest.”

“Anyway, now that we’ve officially kicked off our shows in Germany, I can’t wait to see you all in Hamburg next!” she said. She concluded the post with this excitement.

Swift had never performed in the German city before. During her concert series, local Swiftie Aleshanee Westhoff started a petition to rename the city “Swiftkirchen” for Taylor Swift’s visit.

The ask caught Welge’s attention, and the city unveiled a new town entrance sign with Swift’s face on it, along with the words “Swiftkirchen.” It was captured in an Instagram post shared by the city’s official account.

Swift’s Germany Eras Tour stops were notable. Travis Kelce attended two of the shows, including his 13th, before joining the Chiefs’ training camp.

Swift is next scheduled to perform in the German cities of Hamburg and Munich, before moving on to Poland.
