At her second show in the German city, fans caught a cheeky moment as Swift goofed around during the line “he never thinks of me / except when I’m on TV”
Taylor Swift captivated the audience on Thursday in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, during her second of three sold-out Eras Tour shows in the city, all while showcasing her playful side.
As the concert at Veltins Arena neared its end, fans noticed a humorous moment when the 34-year-old artist had fun during the typically serious “Midnight Rain.” She stuck out her tongue and flashed double peace signs after singing the lines “he never thinks of me / except when I’m on TV.”
Swift’s boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce, attended the shows on July 17 and 18, likely his last before returning to Missouri for the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp on July 21. True to form, Swift gave Kelce a shoutout during her performance of “Karma,” altering the lyrics to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs / coming straight home to me.”

Swift’s boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce, was present on July 17 and 18, likely attending his final shows before heading back to Missouri for the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp on July 21. As she often does when he’s in the audience, Swift gave Kelce a shoutout during her performance of “Karma,” singing “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs / coming straight home to me.”
Swift is set to perform a third show in Gelsenkirchen on Friday night before moving on to other locations in Germany later this month.
In anticipation of her concerts, the German city temporarily renamed itself “Swiftkirchen,” thanks to a local fan who started a petition that reached the mayor’s desk.
To honor the superstar’s first-ever shows in Gelsenkirchen, the city made a special exception to its rule that only local personalities can be featured on the Gelsenkirchen Walk of Fame, according to an Instagram post from the city’s official account. However, Swifties eager to snap a photo with the colorful tile should hurry, as the city plans to replace it with a blank tile after Swift moves on to the next stop of her record-breaking tour.
The “All Too Well” singer will continue the Eras Tour in Germany with performances in Hamburg on July 23 and 24, and Munich on July 27 and 28. Swift will conclude the European leg of her tour in August with five nights at Wembley Stadium in London.
