Thousands of Taylor Swift enthusiasts enjoyed complimentary seats to her concerts held in Munich, where they flocked to a grassy hill near the venue. The fans, known as Swifties, crowded the Olympic Hill, also called Olympiaberg, which stands as one of the tallest points in the city’s southern region. This gave them an advantageous vantage point to view the renowned singer’s sold-out performance at the nearby Olympic Stadium for the second consecutive day on Sunday.
Despite the scorching heat that soared to 31 degrees Celsius (88 degrees Fahrenheit) on Saturday, Swifties arrived early and staked out their spots well before the concert’s commencement. Police approximated that roughly 25,000 individuals assembled on the hill on Saturday, as reported by the dpa news agency. The following day, fans reassembled, once again thronging the grassy knoll with such a multitude of people that from afar, the setting resembled a bustling anthill.
Instead of dissuading the informal viewing arrangement, the concert organizer distributed water and emergency blankets to those waiting to shield themselves from the sun, according to dpa. Sunday’s show marked the conclusion of Swift’s performances in Germany as part of her Eras tour. She will be heading to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, for three consecutive concerts starting from Thursday through Saturday of the upcoming week.
