Taylor Swift is saying “tschüss” to Switzerland.
The global superstar, 34, performed two nights of her three-and-a-half-hour Eras Tour in the Zürich stadium on July 9 and 10, and recapped her experience on Instagram on Thursday, July 11.
“The Eras Tour has brought so many firsts with it… for example, I’d never been to Switzerland before. This place is stunningly beautiful and I loved playing for those 2 wonderful crowds in Zurich,” Swift captioned a collection of photos.
“Pretty wild to think we only have 7 cities left on the European leg of the tour. Up next is a city I’ve been looking forward to playing for so long: Milan!! 🇮🇹”
The “Cruel Summer” singer’s two nights in Zürich marked her first-ever shows in the country, after she skipped over Switzerland for her last few world tours.s.
At her concert the night prior, she celebrated her 113th show of the Eras Tour — 13 is famously Swift’s favorite number — by playing several of her “favorite songs” for the Swiss crowd, including Evermore’s “Right Where You Left Me,” 1989’s “All You Had to Do Was Stay” and Red’s “Sad Beautiful Tragic.”
She also honored the date, July 9, which is mentioned on her song “Last Kiss,” by giving the audience a piano rendition of the Speak Now track.
