Taylor Swift Fans Pack Munich’s Olympic Hill for Free Concert Views on ‘Eras’ Tour
Renowned Irish author Edna O'Brien has died aged 93. Best known for her 'Country Girls' series, her publisher Faber Books announced the news on Saturday. The author passed away peacefully after a long illness.
Thousands of Taylor Swift fans have got free seats to her concerts in Munich on a grassy hill near the concert venue. The Swifties packed the Olympic Hill, or Olympiaberg, one of the highest elevations in the southern German city, for the second straight day Sunday. That gave them a high perch for watching the singer's sold-out concert in the nearby Olympic Stadium. On Saturday, they braved the heat, which reached 31 Celsius (88 Fahrenheit) and claimed their spots hours before the concert began. Police estimated that about 25,000 gathered on the hill on Saturday, according to the dpa news agency. 'The Tortured Poets Department': Taylor Swift Celebrates Success of Her 11th Studio Album.
On Sunday, fans returned, once again packing the grassy hill with so many people that from a distance the scene looked like an anthill. Rather than discourage the free viewings, the concert organiser handed out water and emergency blankets to those waiting to protect themselves from the sun, dpa reported.
