Moments at Taylor Swift’s first concert in Madrid with her “The Eras Tour”

Shortly after eight o’clock at night, the more than 50,000 attendees at the concert listened to the chords of ‘Applause’, one of Lady Gaga’s songs that announced the imminent arrival of Taylor Swift. Finally, at 8:15 p.m., between screams and some tears, Swift appeared among the ‘petals’ to the rhythm of ‘Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince‘. During this first part of the show, the artist from Pennsylvania made some nods to our country, pronouncing phrases in Spanish such as “enchanted to meet you,” which unleashed the enthusiasm of the public.

One of the most moving moments occurred during the interpretation of ’22’ from the ‘Red’ era. True to her tradition, Taylor Swift gave her hat to one of the youngest fans in the audience. Among the attendees, well-known personalities such as the singer Aitana and the Minister of Transport, Óscar Puente, stood out.

After her emotional performance on the piano of ‘Champagne Problems‘ from the eras of ‘Folklore’ and ‘Evermore‘, Swift received a ovation of almost two minutes, bringing her hands to her head as a sign of emotion before a moved Bernabéu stadium.

Upon reaching the era of ‘1989’, a recently re-re-recorded album, Swift surprised everyone not only with a new outfit, but with one that many associated with the colors of the Spanish flag, generating a wave of memes on social networks. The song ‘1998’ encouraged everyone to dance, followed by ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, one that was presented for the first time on his European tour.
