Klopp will head back to Anfield to enjoy American music star Taylor Swift
Ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is back in the city, and is preparing for his return to Anfield for the first time since leaving his role as manager of the club.
Klopp waved goodbye to the Reds faithful in May when he took charge of his final game, a 2-0 win over Wolves, and after relaxing abroad with his wife Ulla, he is back in the place he once called home, ready to enjoy some down time.
Klopp excited for Taylor Swift concert at Anfield
But it's not football on his agenda, rather a Taylor Swift concert, with the pop sensation taking her Eras Tour to Merseyside as part of the United Kingdom leg of the excursion. In a video shared on Instagram, captioned: "Going back to a place I know 'All too well,'" a play on words on one of Swift's songs, Klopp revealed he was back in the city ready for the show.
He said, "So, back in Liverpool, and now it's Taylor time. So three things I had to do today. No, I had two. A barber appointment with Ummut, then we're going out to Anfield. First time going to Anfield, not for a football game but in the stands and watching Taylor Swift. So yeah, I'm not Taylor made obviously, but Taylor ready. Let's go to Anfield and yeah, have a good night, a great night would be cool, see you there, bye."
He was later snapped in the ground, in a video posted onto X, and appeared to be wearing lover-themed glasses. In an hour-long Q&A with staff at Liverpool last month, the German, according to The Athletic, revealed Ulla purchased tickets for the pair to watch Swift's Eras Tour at his former home stadium.

Klopp revealed the news after being asked what music he likes listening to when he gets a moment away from football. After answering the question, he is said to have broken into song, covering Swift's "Shake It Off" in front of the crowd.
Klopp's Life After Liverpool
Swift had been performing in Edinburgh before moving to Liverpool, with her first show in the city on Thursday. After three shows at Anfield, running on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, she will head to Cardiff, then London, then Dublin, before performing in Amsterdam.

Klopp admitted that he is not a "social media guy" but after nine years at Anfield wanted to stay in touch with people on the platform. The German has shared a number of snaps since, including photos of him lifting the Champions League with Liverpool in 2019, attending a Q&A in Liverpool, and playing tennis.
Elsewhere, he has been enjoying time in Majorca and bought a villa on the Balearic island for £3.4 million and plans to create "an ecological family paradise" there. On why he was drawn to Majorca, Klopp told the podcast Willipedia via Bild: "I've dreamed of having a house in the south all my life. I like the weather, the climate, I like the people.

"There are lots of things I like here and also people I already know. It's not like I'm looking for new friends. I already have friends for life, and if some of them are here too, that's cool."
He was also spotted at Wembley at the start of June as he watched another of his former sides, Borussia Dortmund, take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
