Approximately 25,000 Swifties gathered on a grassy hill outside the Olympiastadion in Munich, Germany to take in Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stops this past weekend.

Fans braved 30+ degree Celsius weather at both of her shows on Saturday (July 27) and Sunday (28) atop the Olympic Hill (aka Olympiaberg), which is known for its extremely high elevation.

The Associated Press reports that police had estimated Saturday's crowd on the hill to be at leat 25,000 in attendance.

The tailgating fans didn't go unnoticed either. Photos of the hill went viral on social media and even caught the attention of Swift herself, who acknowledged them during a break in between songs on stage.

"We've got people in a park outside the stadium, thousands of people listening from out there!" Swift told the crowd. "I just feel so incredibly welcomed, and we're gonna spend all night trying to make it up to you."
