Taylor Swift: Huge graffiti revitalized Gelsenkirchen's old town!
It was in July when Taylor Swift delighted the fans in Gelsenkirchen with their spectacular "The Eras Tour". Now the US singer is back in the city, but not in the form of a concert. Instead, a local artist has created an impressive graffiti that represents the singer in a life -size size. This work of art now adorns a wall in the old town and attracts the attention of passers -by.The Gelsenkirchen artist Beni Veltum, together with the artist Levin Tomala, is the creative head behind this huge portrait. At the request of the German Press Agency, Veltum said that the euphoria of the concerts inspired him. "I wanted to capture the positive vibes and the energy in the city," he says. With the support of an association to promote street art and the city's cultural department, a suitable place could be found quickly.

The artistic graffiti, which is about ten meters high and five meters wide, shows the 34-year-old singer in strong colors. Veltum explained that he had to stand and leave everything for this project to follow his intuition. After ten days of hard work and a drying time in the first week of October, the work was completed.
The stay of Taylor Swift in Gelsenkirchen was an outstanding event that put the city into a state of emergency. Fans flocked in droves, exchanged bracelets and sang the popular hits in the run -up to the concerts. This enthusiasm even led to some local signs temporarily renamed "Swiftkirchen", and the singer received a place of honor on the "Walk of Fame" of the city.
The graffiti is now becoming a new landmark of Gelsenkirchen, which maintains the memory of Swift's visits to the city and at the same time promotes the creative scene on site. The artwork gets the unforgettable experience of the concerts into the living environment of the city dwellers and visitors, and it also illustrates the positive energy that can leave such events.
