An estimated 50,000 people gathered on a hill overlooking Munich’s Olympiastadion to watch Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” concert for free this weekend, per consequence.net. The impromptu viewing area, which offers a clear view of the stadium, became a viral sensation as word spread rapidly among Swifties unable to secure tickets for the sold-out shows.
On Saturday, approximately 40,000 fans flocked to the hill, with numbers swelling to 50,000 by Sunday’s performance. The phenomenon caught the attention of Swift herself, who acknowledged the external audience during her Sunday show.
“We are lucky enough to get to play this show for 74,000 beautiful people in this stadium, and if the reports are correct, about 50,000 beautiful people outside the stadium,” Swift told the crowd, expressing gratitude to all attendees, regardless of their location.
The singer also took a moment to praise German audiences, calling the shows “really special” as they marked her final performances in the country for this tour run. Swift promised a future return, much to the delight of fans both inside and outside the venue.
As “The Eras Tour” continues its European leg with upcoming stops in Warsaw, Vienna and London, this unique Munich experience highlights the tour’s unprecedented popularity and the lengths to which fans will go to be part of the Swift phenomenon.
