Taylor Swift fans are going wild after a devotee shared footage of herself dramatically tossing a diamond ring into the crowd during the superstar’s recent tour stop in Hamburg, Germany.
TikTok user Alannah uploaded a clip of herself tearfully singing along to Swift’s breakup ballad “My Tears Ricochet” as she removed a band from her left ring finger. Before chucking the ring into the crowd, she belted out the poignant lyric: “I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace.”
The ring went flying and landed somewhere in the sections below her at Volksparkstadion, a football stadium with a 57,000 person capacity. “You’ve finally moved on” was written over the dramatic black-and-white TikTok video, along with the caption: “Chapter finally closed.”

The stunt sparked mixed reactions from Swifties, with some praising Alannah’s bold move and others slamming her for throwing a piece of metal into the crowd, which could have caused harm.
“Like the sentiment [of the clip] but A REAL ONE?? like she could’ve done anything but this does this that could hurt someone,” one user wrote.
Another asked: “now why are we throwing REAL RINGS???????”
Some fans felt that Alannah would have been better off selling the ring for money instead of tossing it, while others wondered if a “lucky” fan had picked it up.
One fan said that they found the video “cringy and embarrassing” because stunts like Alannah’s may interfere with others’ Eras Tour experience.
This is the latest instance of a concertgoer sparking outrage after throwing an object at a performer or towards the stage during a major artist’s concert.
Last year, Swift had to stop mid-performance to gently scold a fan who threw a “present” at her during her Eras Tour show in Buenos Aires.
Hitmaker Bebe Rexha recently threatened to sue a concertgoer who allegedly tried to throw an object at her mid-performance earlier this month.
Harry Styles and rapper Drake were also recent victims of the disturbing trend.
Taylor Swift played two back-to-back shows in Hamburg on July 23 and July 24 before jetting off to Munich for concerts on July 27 and July 28.
She will next venture to Poland on August 1 for three back-to-back shows at PGE Narodowy.
Swift kicked off her Eras Tour in March 2023 in the United States and it will come to a close on December 8, 2024 with a show in Vancouver.
The three-hour show is Swift’s sixth concert tour and pays homage to her musical evolution over the last 18 years.
It is the highest-grossing concert tour in history with over $1 billion in revenue, according to AP News.
Adding to the success, Swift released the Eras Tour concert film in theaters last October and it raked in $261.7 million at the worldwide box office.
