Entertainment gossip and news from the Newsweek staff network

It seems that Taylor Swift fans have created a new tradition for themselves in the ongoing Epoch Tour, which is currently located in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

In a video of Swift’s performance on Wednesday, July 17, posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), Swifties in the crowd at the Veltins Arena can be seen waving their hands back and forth with their phones’ flashlights on during the pop star’s song “Betty.” “This seems to be the newest tradition and we love it! 🥰,” the Swift fan account captioned the video.

Fans of the 34-year-old singer eagerly left their responses, noting how emotional the performance was. “It’s literally so sweet! It’s my favorite addition 🫶❤️,” one user wrote, while another agreed, “We’re here and it was beautiful!” A third fan hilariously replied, “The cult allegations will never be topped 🤟🤟.”

Others agreed, sharing where this heartfelt tradition on tour originated. “Zurich N2 made it happen and I was THERE 🥹,” one user said of Swift’s July 9 and 10 performance in Zurich, Switzerland, just over a week ago. Others also mentioned this special performance, posting things like “the Zurich legacy 🫶” and “I was there when it started 🥹 I can’t believe it’s been a week already.”

The 14-time Grammy winner’s back-to-back performances in Zurich were also filled with other special moments. On Sunday, Swift emphasized the importance of numbers in her life, telling the sold-out crowd, “This is actually our 113th show of the Eras Tour, and that’s my favorite number that I never mention.” She then treated her fans to acoustic renditions of “All You Had to Do Was Stay” and “Right Where You Left Me,” as well as a mashup of “Last Kiss” with “Sad, Beautiful, Tragic.” Adding to the excitement, former tennis star Roger Federer also attended the tour in Zurich, proudly calling himself a Swiftie in a backstage photo with the singer.

Swift continues the European leg of its Epoch Tour with several stopovers in Germany, including three nights in Gelsenkirchen, followed by two in Hamburg and another two in Munich.
