The latest Eras Tour shows marked a new highlight for Taylor Swift. Following her two concerts in Milan, the 34-year-old pop star took to Instagram Monday (July 15) to gush about the crowds at San Siro Stadium — which she went as far as calling some of her career favorites.
“WOW. MILAN,” Swift began her post. “Those were truly 2 of my favorite crowds ever. The passion and generosity you showed us… it was a dream come true to perform for you.”
The “Anti-Hero” singer also shared a carousel of photos from her back-to-back performances in Italy, including one snap of a brand new Fearless era dress that she debuted at her first Milan show Saturday (July 13). “Grazi mille!!” she added. “We’ll be back!! 🇮🇹 🫶”
Swift’s tenure in the city was full of memorable moments, with the acoustic sections including mashups of “The 1″ and “Wonderland,” “I Almost Do” and “The Moment I Knew,” “Mr. Perfectly Fine” and “Red” as well as “Getaway Car” with “Out of the Woods.” The shows had a couple hilarious blips, though, with the 14-time Grammy winner at one point swallowing a bug on stage.
“I knew it would happen, ’cause there’s so many bugs here tonight,” she told the laughing crowd. “I just need to cough a little bit.”
At another point, Swift’s iconic flower-painted piano suffered a malfunction that necessitated a crew member joining her on the stage to investigate its interior. “You know what, we finally broke it,” she joked. “We have finally broken this thing.”
Luckily, she and her helper were able to get the keyboard back into playing condition. “I did it!” she squealed with a grin after successfully closing its top.
Swift is next slated to perform three consecutive shows in Gelsenkirchen, Germany July 17-20, after which she’ll travel through Hamburg and Munich. Once the European leg of her Eras trek is over, she’ll return to the U.S. and Canada for one final victory lap in November and December.
