It seems Taylor Swift fans have created a new tradition for themselves at the pop star's ongoing Eras Tour, which is currently in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

In a video of Swift's performance on Wednesday, July 17, that was posted to X (formerly known as Twitter), Swifties in the crowd at the Veltins-Arena can be seen waving their hands back and forth with their phone flashlights on during the pop star's song "Betty." "This seems to be the newest tradition and we love it! 🥰," the Swift fan account captioned the video.

Fans of the 34-year-old singer eagerly left their replies, noting how emotional the performance was. "It's literally so sweet! It's my fave addition 🫶❤️," stated one user, while another agreed, "We are here and it was beautiful!" A third fan hilarious replied, "never beating the cult allegations 🤟🤟."

Others chimed in, making it known where the heartfelt tradition originated on the tour. "Zurich N2 made it happen and I was THERE 🥹," said one user about Swift's Zurich, Switzerland performance on July 9 and 10 a little over a week ago. Others also mentioned that particular performance, posting things like, "the zurich legacy 🫶," and, "I was there when it started 🥹 can't believe it's already been a week."

The 14-time Grammy winner's back to back performances in Zurich were packed with other special moments as well. On Sunday, Swift highlighted the significance of numbers in her life, telling the sold-out crowd, "This is actually our 113th show of the Eras Tour, and that's my favorite number, which I never mention." She then treated fans to acoustic renditions of "All You Had to Do Was Stay" and "Right Where You Left Me," as well as a mashup of "Last Kiss" with "Sad, Beautiful, Tragic." Adding to the excitement, retired tennis legend Roger Federer also attended the tour in Zurich, proudly declaring himself a Swiftie in a backstage photo with the singer.

Swift continues the European leg of her Eras Tour with multiple stops in Germany, including three nights in Gelsenkirchen, followed by two in Hamburg, and another two in Munich.
