Taylor Swift Flashes Double Peace Signs at Eras Tour Gelsenkirchen Night Two ArticlePure

Taylor Swift dazzled the crowd Thursday in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, during her second of three sold-out Eras Tour shows in the city — and let her sense of humor shine as well.

Towards the end of the concert at Veltins Arena, fans caught a cheeky moment as the musician, 34, goofed around during the usually serious “Midnight Rain,” sticking out her tongue and flashing a double peace sign following the lines “he never thinks of me / except when I’m on TV.”

Swift’s boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce, was also in attendance July 17 and 18 for what were likely his final shows before he’s due back in Missouri for the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp on July 21. As she often does when he’s at a show, Swift shouted out Kelce as she performed “Karma,” singing “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs / coming straight home to me.”

Swift will play a third show in Gelsenkirchen on Friday night before she heads elsewhere in Germany later in the month.

Ahead of her concerts, the German city renamed itself “Swiftkirchen” after a local Swiftie created a petition that made its way to the desk of the mayor.

To honor the superstar’s shows — her first even in Gelsenkirchen — the city even made an exception to its rule that stones on the Gelsenkirchen Walk of Fame can only be dedicated to local personalities, according to an Instagram post from the city’s official account. But Swifties who want to snap a photo with the colorful tile will have to hurry: The city said it would replace the stone with a blank tile after Swift takes her record-breaking act to the next city.

The “All Too Well” singer will bring the Eras Tour to two more German cities: Hamburg on July 23 and 24, and Munich on July 27 and 28. Swift will close out the European leg of the tour in August when she returns to Wembley Stadium for five nights in London.
