Swift closed out her second night in the German city on Wednesday, July 24
Taylor Swift is looking back fondly on her last two gigs in Hamburg, Germany — yes, even the “fuzzy hair” moments!
The 34-year-old pop superstar shared a reflective post to Instagram on Thursday, July 25, in which she raved about her two-show Eras Tour run at Volksparkstadion. She most recently wrapped her second performance on Wednesday, July 24, but it was the first performance that left Swifties with a rare sight after a bit of rain.
As Swift explained in her latest post, which featured a string of photos from the two nights in the German city, the first gig unlocked what she called “Fuzzy Hair Me.”
“Hamburg!! I loved those crowds so so so much,” the Grammy winner wrote. “AND we got a rain show night one, unlocking Fuzzy Hair Me for the evening 😆.”

“Been having a blast watching these new Eras crowd traditions unfold all throughout Europe… You guys are seriously so creative,” she added, before teasing her next show on July 27: “See you 🔜 Munich!”
Outside of a fuzzy display of hair, Swift’s first performance in Hamburg also came complete with an on-stage shoutout to “King Swiftie” himself, Flavor Flav, who traveled all the way to Germany to catch another show. Swift was seen mouthing the Public Enemy rapper’s name as confetti fell during her performance — a moment that he later shared to X (formerly known as Twitter).
“It’s the guy from Public Enemy… also known as KING SWIFTIE… Coming straight to Germany to see me,” Flavor Flav wrote. “Shout out back to @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 and her team and family for having me!!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 #TSErasTour #HamburgTSTheErasTour.”
As for her second gig in Hamburg on Wednesday, Swift treated fans to the live debut of her song “Run,” a vault cut from Red (Taylor’s Version). The song came during Swift’s surprise song part of the setlist, as she incorporated it into a mash-up with fan-favorite “The Last Great American Dynasty,” before heading piano-side for a performance of “Nothing New” (another vault cut) and “Dear Reader” (off ).
Prior to her shows in Hamburg, which took place on Tuesday, July 23 and Wednesday, July 24, Swift led off her German leg of the tour with a three-night stint in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, which renamed itself “Swiftkirchen” after a local fan petitioned the mayor earlier this month to temporarily change the town’s moniker in honor of the singer.
The town even went a step further by giving Swift a temporary tile on the Gelsenkirchen Walk of Fame, which typically honors local celebrities but made an exception for the “Bad Blood” singer.
Next, Swift is heading to Munich to headline two Eras Tour performances in the city on July 27 and 28. Afterward, she will travel to Austria and Poland for performances throughout early August.
The European leg of Swift’s record-shattering tour will then conclude with another five-night stint in London, which comes on the heels of three energetic performances in the English capital earlier this summer.
