Jurgen Klopp returned to Liverpool to watch Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, which claimed to have broken Anfield’s all-time attendance record.
The former Liverpool manager looked in fine form as he attended the first of three Swift concerts at Anfield this week.
The German’s wife, Ulla, bought tickets for the first appearance, Klopp revealed during a Q&A with staff in his final week at the club, also revealing that he then started singing ‘Shake It Off’ to her, according to Athletic.
At the dinner itself, the German was seen getting high and wearing heart-shaped glasses as he took his place in the box at Anfield to watch the sold-out show.

He was part of a crowd that, according to Swift, “broke the all-time attendance record” at Anfield.
That means there must have been over 61,905 people, the number who attended the 1952 FA Cup tie against Wolves.
According to Liverpool.com, Swift said on stage: “As I was walking up to the stage, they pulled me aside and told me one more thing you’ve done for us tonight.
“And that is that you, tonight, broke the attendance record of this stadium. Don’t you love knowing that there have never been as many people in this room as there are now? I personally love that feeling.”

Before the game, Klopp posted a video message on Instagram, showing off his new haircut and declaring that he was back at Liverpool for “Taylor time”.
He also confirmed it was his first time back at Anfield since his emotional last game against Wolves on May 19.
The German, who celebrates his 57th birthday on Sunday, said: “I’m not obviously made for Taylor, but I’m Taylor ready. Let’s go to Anfield and have a good night, otherwise a great night would be great!”
It seems Klopp really had a great night as he posted a photo the next day wearing a pink cowgirl hat with the caption: “I guess I’m officially a Swiftie.”
For the concerts, the ground at Anfield was completely transformed, with a large stage installed covering most of the turf.
Pink will also play at Anfield this summer, but her final appearance is on June 25, leaving plenty of time for the ground staff to prepare the pitch for the new season.
