As sirens wailed across Warsaw, thousands of Swifties observed a moment of silence inside the Poland PGE Narodowy stadium.
The alarms sounded for the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising during World War II. Fans who arrived early to watch Taylor Swift's Eras Tour showed respect by standing.
In a video posted to X/Twitter, you can hear silence as the alarms echo into the arena followed by a loud cheer.

"It is considered one of the most important events in recent Polish history," Polish news site, Onet said on Wednesday warning concertgoers.
"Dear Swifties. August 1 is a special date for all Poles, especially Varsovians," the news site said. Varsovians is a Polish colloquialism for Warsaw inhabitants.
"On this day there will be special national gatherings in various places in Warsaw," Onet's article continued. "Celebrating the anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Uprising is extremely important for all Poles."
The sirens sounded at 5 p.m. Central European Summer Time (11 a.m. ET in the United States). Flares were set off in city gatherings and everyone stopped to observe for a minute of silence.
Swift will perform three nights in Poland PGE Narodowy stadium.
