Swift expressed her gratitude for Germany Sunday night during the “Lover” section of her show.
“We are lucky enough to play this show for 74,000 beautiful people inside this stadium,” the star in a purple jumpsuit said. “And if the reports are correct, about 50,000 beautiful people outside of the stadium.”
The roaring crowd could be heard through the open-roofed stadium to the surrounding hills of Olympiapark München. Fans covering every inch of green grass were “Taylor-gating,” or enjoying the star’s three-hour concert for free in the park next door. Social media videos showed Olympia Berg Hill, a 200-foot mound with a view inside the arena, engulfed with tens of thousands of Swifties.
“Thank you for coming to the Eras Tour whether you are inside the stadium and outside the stadium,” Swift said. “We are so lucky to be here with you and this is actually a really special night, because this is our last show in Germany. I cannot express to you how wonderful the German crowds have been to us over the last few weeks.”
Swift has played nine nights of eleven eras in Germany: three in Gelsenkirchen, two in Hamburg and two in Munich.
“I am going to be so sad to be leaving you,” she said, “but we will be back, we will be back to see you. Don’t forget that.” Swift has three cities left on her European excursion. She will wrap August 20 in London, England.
