The Eras Tour Munich

​International Swiftie:: After several months of excitement and anticipation leading up to summer, 5000 miles later I’m at a Taylor Swift concert in Munich, Germany. I chose this photo because it is by far the highlight of my summer. Me, my mom, my cousin, and my aunt all traveled to Germany together in late July to attend Swift’s concert, The Eras Tour, in Munich. After going to the Tampa show in April 2023, I immediately knew I had to go to another. For my 16th birthday, my mom surprised me with tickets to her Germany show. In the picture, I’m shown among the other 114,000 Swifties watching with the combined 74,000 people inside the sold out stadium but also the 40,000 who gathered on a hill overlooking the show. I asked my mom what she thought of the concert and she said, “The concert itself was amazing and so much fun, but the really crazy part was how impressive Taylor was. To put on a three hour show full of singing, dancing, outfit changes, acting, and so much more multiple nights in a row all with a smile on her face is mind blowing.  It was obvious she put her all into it and I think that's the same for every show.”  In the picture, I am shown putting my hands above my head doing a heart symbol. This was not just for the photo but is actually a tradition for everyone to hold them up during the song “Fearless.”  As a self proclaimed Swiftie, I can tell you that the concert was absolutely worth the travel. It was truly a life changing experience filled with so much love and intimacy not only because of  Taylor but the joy of all the fellow Swifties around you. “The concert itself was amazing and so much fun, but the really crazy part was how impressive Taylor was,” my mom said. “To put on a three hour show full of singing, dancing, outfit changes, acting, and so much more multiple nights in a row all with a smile on her face is mind blowing.  It was obvious she put her all into it and I think that's the same for every show.”
