German police have detained a man suspected of stalking pop star Taylor Swift ahead of her concert in Gelsenkirchen. The man was apprehended based on information provided by event organizers, who reported that he had made threats against the singer. Authorities have not disclosed further details about the individual or the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The concert, which took place on Wednesday evening and drew a crowd of approximately 60,000 attendees, proceeded without any disturbances. Swift is scheduled to perform in Gelsenkirchen for three consecutive nights as part of her Eras Tour.
Prior to the concerts, the city of Gelsenkirchen temporarily renamed itself as “Swiftkirchen” and paid tribute to the artist by featuring her on a “Walk of Fame” dedicated to local celebrities.
Following her performances in Gelsenkirchen, Swift is set to continue her tour with shows in Hamburg and Munich. Fans and authorities alike are hopeful that the remaining concerts will proceed smoothly and without any security concerns.
