Taylor Swift had a few thousand extra fans in attendance when she performed her first show in Munich for the Eras Tour!
On Saturday, July 27, Swift, 34, took the stage at the Olympiastadion for her first of two shows in the German city and gave her thousands of fans an extra shout-out — despite the fact that they were not actually inside the venue.
In photos captured of the concert venue (and right outside of it), Swifties could be seen tailgating and camping out in the rolling hills just behind the Olympiastadion.
As they packed in tightly along the tall hills in Olympiapark and on the banks of the Nymphenburg Canal, fans pitched brightly colored tents so they could catch Swift’s show from outside the stadium.

In videos captured by fans on X (formerly Twitter), Swift could be heard giving the crowds outside a shout-out from onstage.
“We’ve got people in a park outside the stadium, thousands of people listening from out there!” she told the cheering crowds. “I just feel so incredibly welcomed, and we’re gonna spend all night trying to make it up to you.”
Taylor Swift Says Hamburg Eras Tour Shows Unlocked ‘Fuzzy Hair Me’: ‘Been Having a Blast’
Also during the show, Swift excited her fans with a guitar performance of “Fresh Out the Slammer” — one of her surprise songs, as per Eras Tour tradition — as she incorporated it into a mash-up with her 1989 hit “You Are in Love.”
She then headed to her piano for a performance of “Ivy” off of Evermore, which she paired with “Call It What You Want” from Reputation, when she flubbed the opening notes. “Sometimes you just don’t hit the right note,” she said, before restarting the song.
Before her first show in Munich, Swift played two shows in Hamburg, Germany, on Tuesday, July 23 and Wednesday, July 24, which saw her dealing with some rainy weather and brought out her “Fuzzy Hair Me” alter-ego, as she put it in an Instagram post on Thursday, July 25.

Swift kicked off the Germany leg of the tour with a three-night stint in Gelsenkirchen. Her shows there were so popular that the town renamed itself “Swiftkirchen” earlier this month, after a local fan petitioned the mayor to temporarily change the town’s name.
