After making history by spanning five continents with 149 shows, Taylor Swift’s epic Eras tour came to a close in Canada on Sunday.
Throughout the show at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, she reflected on the tour.
At one point, she shared, “I don’t even know how to thank you for everything that you’ve given to me to get me to this place where I get to even stand here and have this experience that was, that was like one of the most beautiful things for you to do for me.”
She continued, “This tour has taken up three years of my life when you think about the planning of it and then the rehearsals and then being on this tour for a year and eight months and I just keep thinking when I look at this crowd how incredibly happy and grateful and fortunate we are to get to spend our last weekend here in Vancouver with people like you. Thank you so much.”
Ahead of performing “Karma” she told the audience, “I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date — my beloved Eras tour.” Watch the video on X.
When it was time for “Lover,” she shared, “We have toured the entire world… we have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. We’ve gotten to perform for over 10 million people on this tour.” Check out the video here.
From rain-soaked arenas to performing with guest stars like Ice Spice, for 22 months, Taylor belted out hits and revenge anthems like “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.”
Her giant concert tour brought in a mind-boggling $2 billion.
Rolling Stone’s Rob Sheffield — author of “Heartbreak Is the National Anthem” — explained, “It was bigger than the next two combined, who were Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen. Stuff like that just does not happen.”
He says a tour-defining moment was when Taylor and boyfriend Travis Kelce made their love story official on stage in London.
“She’s never had a boyfriend who is so into the role of being Taylor Swift’s boyfriend. He’s such a ham about it. And that’s why we love him.”
And the tour brought the celeb Swifties, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Cameron Diaz, Selena Gomez, Channing Tatum and even Prince William!
Sheffield said, “A lot of people say after this tour it’s been so involving, so demanding, she’s gonna have some downtime. I’m always thinking, ‘Are you new here?’ She doesn’t do that. She does not like downtime.”
There could be more music, maybe even a turn to more acting, and — of course — there’s more time for Travis!
