At Taylor Swift’s last ever Eras Tour concert in Vancouver, she surprised fans with a lyric change while singing “Long Live,” during her acoustic performance.

Taylor Swift is holding onto the memories, and they will hold onto you, too.

During the “Karma” singer’s last ever Eras Tour concert in Vancouver, Canada, Dec. 8, she gave fans a special nod by changing the lyrics of “Long Live” during her acoustic set.

At the piano, Taylor swapped the Speak Now track’s line from “It was the end of a decade / But the start of an age,” to “It was the end of an era / But the start of an age.”

The performance was especially sentimental, as Taylor also mashed up the iconic song—one she has often dedicated to fans—with The Tortured Poets Department ’s “The Manuscript” and Reputation’s “New Year’s Day.”

Each song emulated the end of the tour, with Taylor singing lines like, “There’s glitter on the floor after the party” and “The only thing that’s left is the manuscript, one last souvenir from my trip to your shores / Now and then I reread the manuscript, but the story isn’t mine anymore.”

And while Taylor has not yet addressed the end of her record-breaking tour, which first began in March 2023, she has previously reflected on the gravity of this moment in her life.

“This is the proudest and happiest I’ve ever felt, and the most creatively fulfilled and free I’ve ever been,” Taylor gushed of the tour in a 2023 interview with Time , also noting the amount of space the tour took up in her life. “I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable, or stressed. That’s part of my identity as a human being now.”

Indeed, Taylor—who did countless hours of cardio and dance training to prepare and maintain her fitness for the shows—also has shared that the end of this chapter in her career didn’t feel possible for her.

“It’s taken over everything,” she reflected while on stage this summer in Liverpool. “I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they are anymore, because all I do when I’m not onstage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups, and think about what you might want to hear.”

The 14-time Grammy winner—who has released a concert film, two rerecorded albums, a brand new LP and sparked a romance with Travis Kelce amid the Eras Tour—may now be telling herself it’s time to let go, but she did leave fans with one last memento to remember the epic shows: the Eras Tour book.

In her announcement for the ubiquitous manuscript, which is now available, she added, “This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way.”
