Taylor Swift in Gelsenkirchen - parking chaos after second appearance
Taylor Swift (34) excited her fans once again at her second concert in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on July 18th, with a three-and-a-half hour long performance. Singing, dancing, celebrating, and arm band exchanging ensued - followed by waiting. According to media reports, chaos ensued around Veltins-Arena in Schalke afterwards. Thousands of concertgoers reportedly stood in traffic jams for hours.
After the performance, there were no stewards left on the parking lots - making the exit just as chaotic. Several Swifties reported standing in the parking lots until late into the night on TikTok. "We really stood on the exact same spot for two hours. We didn't move an inch", one fan stated. If they managed to leave the parking lot at all, it was at a snail's pace.
Numerous Celebrities in the Stadium
During the show, which was attended by 60,000 people, there was no sign of the ensuing difficulties. Taylor Swift delivered her usual 45 songs, completed numerous costume changes, and danced in front of her extravagant stage sets. A special treat for the fans: Swift's partner Travis Kelce (34) was in the audience, as he was during the first Gelsenkirchen concert. His unexpected presence came as a surprise, as the footballer should have been starting his training camp with the Kansas City Chiefs in the USA on July 19th.
According to media reports, Swift's good friend Emma Stone (35) was also in the arena, as well as other celebrities such as moderator Elton (53), comedian Oliver Pocher (46), model Sandy Meyer-Wölden (41), and cabaret artist Dieter Nuhr (63), as they showed on Instagram.
On the evening of July 19th, Taylor Swift will perform her third concert in Schalke. After that, she has four more concerts in Germany lined up, two in Hamburg and two in Munich, until the end of July.
