“King Swiftie” Flavor Flav is getting another special shoutout!
On Tuesday, July 23, the 65-year-rapper attended Taylor Swift’s first of two Eras Tour shows at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany.
The “Fortnight” hitmaker, who said she knew about the Public Enemy member being given the “King Swiftie” title after they spoke at the 2024 Grammys, was seen mouthing “Flavor Flav” to her fellow musician as confetti fell around her during her performance.

Sharing a clip of the moment on X (formerly known as Twitter), Flavor Flav wrote, “It’s the guy from Public Enemy… also known as KING SWIFTIE… Coming straight to Germany to see me,!!!” seemingly referencing Swift’s “Karma” lyrics.
“Shout out back to @taylorswift13 @taylornation13 and her team and family for having me,!!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 #TSErasTour #HamburgTSTheErasTour,” Flavor Flav added.
The longtime Swift fan previously attended the singer’s Detroit Eras Tour stop at Ford Field on June 9, 2023, donning multiple Swift friendship bracelets and an all-red outfit over a white T-shirt with the phrase “I Knew She Was Trouble” on it, referencing Swift’s 2012 smash hit.

While speaking to the Los Angeles Times in February about running into Swift at the 2024 Grammys, Flavor Flav recalled how he congratulated the “I Can Do It with a Broken Heart” musician on all her success and told her, again, how huge of a fan he was.
Flavor Flav, who also attended Swift’s Los Angeles Eras Tour show at SoFi Stadium in August 2023, told the outlet, “Having her acknowledge that her fanbase, the Swifties, gave me a name — King Swiftie — I said, ‘You know they call me King Swiftie?’ She said, ‘I know!’ Yo, when I heard her say that, that was huge to me.”
The rapper also made an appearance at the premiere of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour on Oct. 11, 2023.

On Tuesday, Swift proved once again that a little rain won’t stop her from putting on a showstopping concert.
“I’m surrounded by an entire sold-out crowd of people who would dance with me in the rain,” Swift told the Hamburg crowd during her Lover set, per USA Today.
“I don’t know if you’ve heard this about us, but here on the Eras Tour we absolutely adore a rain show. I think a rain show only chooses a crowd that is completely worthy and ready to party with us all night in the rain,” she added, according to the outlet.
