The band’s tribute to Swift, 34, comes amid the singer’s tour stops in Germany as part of her Eras Tour
Swift performed her third and final show for the first time in Gelsenkirchen — located just northeast of Düsseldorf — on Friday, July 19. She is next set to perform in the German cities of Hamburg and Munich.
In an Instagram post on July 20, Swift thanked her fans following her first three shows in Germany for their enthusiasm and support.
“Those 3 Gelsenkirchen crowds were AMAZING, and so thoughtful???” She wrote in her caption. “There were signs and paper hearts, the ‘Betty’ wave, and tons of DIY ‘willow’ orbs made out of balloons + phone flashlights. Thank you!!!”
“… Now that we’ve officially kicked off our shows in Germany, I can’t wait to see you all in Hamburg next!” Swift added.
She then shared her gratitude to all those who have “supported” The Tortured Poets Department in the wake of it’s release in April.
“I am completely blown away by what you’ve done – [the album] stayed at #1 for the first 12 weeks of its release and that’s never happened to an album of mine before, not even close!!,” Swift said in her message, adding, “You’re just the greatest.”
“Anyway, now that we’ve officially kicked off our shows in Germany, I can’t wait to see you all in Hamburg next!” Swift concluded her post.
