Taylor Swift Ends Iconic Eras Tour With Emotional Goodbye: ‘It Was the End of an Era’

Taylor Swift Ends Iconic Eras Tour With Emotional Goodbye

The end of an era! Taylor Swift wrapped her Eras tour and the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” singer got emotional while looking back at the 149 shows she’s performed since the tour took off in March 2023.

“We have had so many adventures. It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve done in my entire life. We’ve gotten to perform for over 10 million people on this tour,” she told the crowd during the Lover portion of the show. “And tonight, we get to play one last show for you here tonight in beautiful Vancouver. We’re gonna make it count.”

Later on in the show, Taylor thanked the crowd for giving her and her band a standing ovation following her performance of “Champagne Problems.”

“This tour has been the adventure of a lifetime,” she said. “I speak on behalf of my band … my fellow performers who all left their families and have spent time away from everything that they know and love and have performed when they were sick. When anything was going on in their lives, they made sure that this show come through [for] you and I just wanted to say that on behalf of all of us, we will never forget you giving us that moment. Thank you, Vancouver.”

During the surprise song portion of the show, Taylor explained that she wanted to go “back to the beginning” of her career and sang “A Place in This World” mashed up with “New Romantics” on guitar. She continued the surprise song portion by performing a mashup of “Long Live,” “New Year’s Day” and “The Manuscript” on piano.

While performing “Long Live,” fans noticed that Taylor acknowledged the end of the tour by changing the lyric “it was the end of a decade” to “it was the end of an era.”

Before she performed the final song of the night, “Karma,” Taylor thanked “every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date.” She added, “My beloved Eras tour. Can you give us one more song?”

Taylor concluded her worldwide tour on Sunday, December 8, in Vancouver, while a crowd of 60,000 cheered her on. Her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was sadly not in attendance due to a football game with the Chiefs on the same night. However, she did give him a shout-out by singing, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” during the final performance of the night.

Fans likely expected the “All Too Well” artist to tear up during her final performance. During her show in Toronto, Canada, on November 23, Taylor had already gotten misty-eyed talking about the end of the tour’s historic run.

“To my band and to my crew and to everybody who has put so much into this tour … I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore,” the Miss Americana star told the crowd. “I’m just having a bit of a moment, sorry. It’s not even the last show!”

She continued as she brushed away a tear, “My band, my crew, all my fellow performers, we have put so much of our lives into this. And you have put so much of your lives into being here with us tonight and giving us that moment that we’ll never forget. We’ve loved our time in Toronto, it’s been so amazing.”

Over the last 21 months, the “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” singer has visited five continents and made stops in 54 cities all over the world. The three and a half to four hour show gave fans a taste of all of Taylor’s different eras since she made her way onto the music scene in the early 2000s. The Grammy winner performed around 44 songs for every show, including surprise mashups of different songs for each stop. During her time on the road, Taylor has brought other artists on stage to perform with her, including Sabrina Carpenter, Florence Welch and more.

Taylor Swift Says Goodbye to Eras Tour

While some fans hoped that Taylor would continue to add more dates to the tour, she confirmed in June that it was officially ending in December.

“This is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is gonna end in December,” Taylor said during a heartfelt moment at her 100th show. “Like, that’s it. That feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows [total] that we have on the whole tour.”

She continued, “This has been the most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life. This tour. These moments with you.”

One of Taylor’s most memorable shows occurred at Wembley Stadium in London in June when Travis, 35, made a surprise appearance for one segment of the performance. The Kansas City Chiefs star came out to “prep” Taylor for her next song.

“It’s such a fun and playful part of the show,” Travis told his “New Heights” cohost and brother Jason Kelce during the July 3 episode. “It was, like, the perfect area or perfect time for me to go up there, just be a ham, and have some fun, not only with her, Kam [Saunders] and Jan [Ravnik], but the crowd and really try and get everybody excited for the rest of the show. It was awesome. I had an absolute blast.”
