Taylor Swift Gushes About Rainy Eras Tour Show in Hamburg: ‘Loved Those Crowds’
With her Hamburg fans, Taylor Swift would dance in a storm in her best dress, fearless. Following two nights at Volksparkstadion — one of which was complete with sheets of rain — the 34-year-old pop star is thanking her German crowds for showing up and showing out this week.
Sharing a carousel of dynamic photos from the concerts on Instagram Thursday (July 25), Swift gushed, “Hamburg!! I loved those crowds so so so much.”
“AND we got a rain show night one, unlocking Fuzzy Hair Me for the evening 😆,” she continued, referencing the way her hair forms tight curls when faced with humidity. “Been having a blast watching these new Eras crowd traditions unfold all throughout Europe… You guys are seriously so creative. See you 🔜 Munich!”
Following her tenure in Hamburg July 23-24, the “Anti-Hero” singer will next set up shop in Munich for two back-to-back shows starting Saturday (July 27). She has less than a month left on the European leg of her global Eras trek, after which she’ll return to North America in October for one last victory lap through the U.S. and Canada.
At Volksparkstadion, Swift continued her tradition of singing two surprise song mashups during each nightly acoustic set, this time performing combinations of “Teardrops on My Guitar” with “The Last Time” and “We Were Happy” with “Happiness” on the first night, followed by “The Last Great American Dynasty” with “Run” and “Nothing New” with “Dear Reader” on the second.
In the crowd on Night 1 was Flavor Flav, aka “King Swiftie,” whom Swift gave a shout-out from the stage just before closing out the show. The Public Enemy rapper posted a clip of the moment on X, as well as a video of a sweet gift one person in attendance gave him.
After the show, he tweeted, “Shout out back to @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 and her team and family for having me,!!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾”
