Taylor Swift breaks the concert record by a female artist with the most attendance in Groupama Stadium history with +60,000 attendees. She Wishes Crowd a ‘Happy Pride Month’ During Eras Tour Show
Swift was met with rain during her performance at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon — but made room for some rainbows with a lively performance of ‘You Need to Calm Down’
Taylor Swift is celebrating the start of Pride Month in France as she continues the European leg of her Eras Tour.
On Sunday, June 2, the “Tortured Poets Department” singer performed at Groupama Stadium in Lyon, France, for her first Eras Tour show of the month — and wished the crowd a happy month celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.
“Happy Pride Month, Lyon,” Swift, 34, could be heard telling the audience as she performed “You Need to Calm Down,” a song she wrote in 2019 as an anthem for the queer community. As she sang the hit, rainbow lights and decor lit up the stage and fans waved their hands back and forth.
The video for “You Need to Calm Down,” first released in the summer of 2019, features a wide array of LGBTQ+ celebs including the Queer Eye fab five, internet personality Hannah Hart, queer and plus-size model Dexter Mayfield, Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon and singer Todrick Hall.
Rainbows took on yet another meaning after Sunday’s Eras Tour performance — Swift was met with tons of rain in Lyon for her show, telling the crowd: “Pluie, rain” (“pluie” means “rain” in French).
