You might’ve heard of artists moving mountains to please their supporters. But, Taylor Swift’s super fans, The Swifties, took this figure of speech to a whole new level. Today (July 27), the “Fortnight” singer’s The Eras Tour kicked off its first date in Munich, Germany.
Unfortunately, not every support could secure tickets for the show at Olympiastadion. Instead of sitting at home, locals decided to do the next best thing, attend from afar. In a new viral video, thousands of Swifties gathered in the neighboring landscape to listen in on the performance.
Swift’s fans are known for causing miniature earthquakes at shows. But this gathering was rather peaceful. So much so, during the event, Swift even acknowledge the onlookers.
“We have people in a park outside the stadium, thousands of people listening from out there,” she declared to ticket holders. “That’s incredible, and we’re going to spend all night trying to make it up to you.”

They might not have the best seat in the house, but it certainly was the most cost-effective.
