Thousands of Taylor Swift fans secured free seats to her concerts in Munich on a grassy hill overlooking the venue.

The fans packed the Olympic Hill, one of the highest elevations in the southern German city, for the second day in a row on Sunday.

It gave them a great spot for watching the singer’s sold-out concert in the nearby Olympic Stadium.

Police estimated that about 25,000 gathered on the hill on Saturday, according to the dpa news agency.

On Sunday, fans returned, once again packing the grassy hill with so many people that from a distance the scene looked like an anthill.
