Even Taylor Swift was shocked by a “crazy” crowd scene at her latest stop on the Eras Tour.
Taylor Swift has opened up to fans about having to change her look during the coronavirus pandemic, saying she did her own hair and makeup for promotional material for her albums “Folklore” and “Evermore.”
Swift is currently in Germany, where she performed two shows at Munich’s Olympic Stadium over the weekend.
Extraordinary footage from inside the stadium shows thousands of fans who could not get tickets gathered at a high vantage point in a nearby park, hoping to hear the show and catch a glimpse of the singer.
German police estimate that the crowd was around 40,000, with around 63,000 inside the stadium, making the scene “crazy” according to fans on social media.
Organizers estimate that about 40,000 people crowded the hills surrounding Swift’s show at the Munich stadium to catch a glimpse of the star.
Swift herself admitted to having a listening party on top of the hill on stage during her show, telling the crowd: “We have people in a park outside the stadium, and thousands of people listening from there!”
Here in Australia, fans who missed out on tickets were advised not to go to shows and wait outside, as organisers tried to avoid crowding problems around the huge shows.

The number of listeners to the hill reached 40 thousand people.
Swift is currently on the final leg of her Eras tour, which is set to end in Vancouver in December, nearly two years after it began.
Last month, she announced a special 100th show of her tour in Liverpool, UK.
Acknowledging the achievement, Swift said that performing 100 shows was “amazing.”
“This doesn’t seem like a real statistic to me because this has definitely been the most exhausting and comprehensive, but also the most joyful and the most rewarding and the most amazing thing that has happened in my life so far. These moments with you,” she said.

She told the crowd that she would mark the occasion by publicly confirming for the first time that the tour would end in December. The final shows of the tour are currently scheduled to take place in Vancouver, Canada on December 6, 7 and 8.
It is not yet known if Swift has any other final shows this month to wrap up the tour.
“Celebrating my 100th show means this is the first time ever that I have admitted to myself that this tour will end in December,” she said.
With 152 shows planned, by the time Eras is over, this will be Swift’s longest tour, nearly tripling the 53 shows on her last tour, the Reputation World Tour in 2018.
That hasn’t affected her musical output: since her first show in March last year, Swift has released a new double album, Tortured Poets Section and re-recording two versions of her previous albums from “Taylor’s Version”, talk now And 1989.
