Jurgen Klopp is back in Liverpool, set to return to Anfield for the first time since leaving the club as manager.
Klopp bid goodbye to the Reds supporters in May when he took command of his final game, a 2-0 victory against Wolves, eliciting emotional reactions from the crowd.
After resting overseas with his wife Ulla while adjusting to life away from the Reds after nine years in command, he has returned to the location he previously called home, ready to unwind.
But it’s not football on his schedule; it’s a Taylor Swift performance, as the pop sensation makes her Eras Tour stop in Merseyside, United Kingdom.
Klopp revealed he was back in the city, ready for the event, in an Instagram video captioned: ‘Going back to a town I know ‘All too well,’ a play on words on one of Swift’s songs.

Jurgen Klopp went back to Anfield for the first time since leaving Liverpool to attend a Taylor Swift concert on Thursday evening.
The iconic Reds manager resorted to social media to address his admirers, confessing that it is the first time he has visited Anfield not for football.
He announced last month that his wife, Ulla (third left), had purchased tickets for the pair to attend.
‘So, back in Liverpool, and now it’s Taylor time,’ the 56-year-old said. ‘So, I had three things to do today. No, I owned two.
‘We have a barber appointment with Ummut and then we’re going to Anfield. My first visit to Anfield was not for a football game, but to sit in the stands and watch Taylor Swift. So, yeah, I’m not Taylor-made, but Taylor-ready.
‘Let’s go to Anfield and have a fantastic night, a terrific night would be nice, see you there, bye.’
He was then photographed on the ground in a video posted on X, sporting lover-themed spectacles.
According to The Athletic, during an hour-long Q&A with Liverpool staff last month, the German disclosed Ulla had acquired tickets for the couple to see Swift’s Eras Tour at his former home stadium.
According to the story, Klopp divulged the news after being asked what music he enjoys listening to when he has a break from football.
After answering the question, he reportedly erupted into song in front of the audience, covering Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’.
Swift had been performing in Edinburgh before going to Liverpool, and her first gig in the city was on Thursday.
After three gigs at Anfield on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, she’ll go to Cardiff, London, and Dublin before appearing in Amsterdam.
