Munich, Germany – On Saturday, July 27, Taylor Swift’s fans took their dedication to a new level, creating an extraordinary scene before her first of two Eras Tour shows at the Olympia Stadium. Eager fans flocked to a massive hill overlooking the venue, presumably in hopes of catching a free glimpse of the much-anticipated concert.
The Olympia Stadium, with its capacity of nearly 74,500 seats not including standing room, was already set to accommodate a large audience. However, the hillside crowd significantly increased the number of attendees, turning the area into a sea of Swifties.
A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, captured the spectacle from above and shared it with the caption: “Swift Hello, 70k in the stadium plus everyone on top of the hill.” The image quickly went viral, prompting awe and admiration from fans around the world.
In the comments, fans expressed their excitement and amazement. One wrote, “This is such an amazing view,” while another declared, “That Hill is a Swifty.” Comments like “Taylor’s going to be like hi, hello up there” and “Free concert on the hill, sign me up” reflected the enthusiastic response.
However, not everyone was entirely at ease with the situation. Some fans raised concerns about security. One user questioned, “Isn’t that kind of a security risk for Taylor and the other performers?” A video showing the hill packed with fans further fueled the debate, with another user exclaiming, “It’s insane, she’s a music industry powerhouse.”
Despite the mixed reactions, the overwhelming consensus was that Taylor Swift’s popularity and the dedication of her fans are unparalleled. As one fan put it, “This is why Taylor Swift is in a league of her own.”
Taylor Swift will return to the Olympia Stadium for her second show on Sunday, July 28. Following her Munich performances, she will head to Warsaw for three shows on August 1, 2, and 3. The pop superstar is set to conclude her wildly successful Eras Tour in Vancouver this December.
