German police detained a 34-year-old American man who made social media threats against Taylor Swift and her partner, NFL star Travis Kelce, as he attempted to attend Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Gelsenkirchen. The man, whose identity remains undisclosed, was apprehended at the venue's entry checkpoint and will be held in custody until the concerts in the area conclude. Swift has had a history of dealing with obsessive fans and has previously employed facial recognition technology at her shows to identify potential threats. Despite the incident, authorities confirmed there was no danger to Swift or the 60,000 attendees, and the concert proceeded peacefully. Swift will continue her tour with additional shows in Germany, followed by performances in other European cities before concluding the tour in December 2024.
