Taylor Swift Graffiti Unveiled in Gelsenkirchen

Local artists commemorate the pop star's recent concerts with a massive street art installation.

  • A ten-meter-tall graffiti of Taylor Swift now adorns a building in Gelsenkirchen's Altstadt.
  • The artwork was created by local artists Beni Veltum and Levin Tomala to capture the energy from Swift's July concerts.
  • Swift's three concerts in Gelsenkirchen earlier this year turned the city into a hub of fan activity.
  • The city temporarily renamed some signs to 'Swiftkirchen' and honored Swift with a spot on its Walk of Fame.
  • The mural was completed in collaboration with a street art support group and the city's cultural office.
