After two years, 149 shows, 50 cities and who even knows how many sequins, Taylor Swift has brought the curtain down on her record-breaking Eras Tour.
On Sunday night, Taylor performed the final show of her career-spanning mammoth world jaunt in Vancouver, and it’s fair to say that it was an emotional night.
While fans had long speculated about a surprise announcement on the final Eras Tour show, the concert pretty much went ahead as usual.
For her final “surprise songs”, Taylor performed a medley of A Place in This World and New Romantics, before going into a mash-up of three tunes Long Live, New Year’s Day and The Manuscript.
As usual, she then dove under the stage and launched into the Midnights section of the show.
Following her final rendition of Karma, Taylor and her dancers became tearful as they embraced on stage, with the Grammy winner declaring: “Thank you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date, my beloved Eras Tour.”
A year after the Eras Tour’s US leg began, Taylor finally brought the show to the UK over the summer, playing a string of shows that attracted some impressive A-list guests (including members of the Royal Family), featured some amazing surprise cameos and, indeed, brought about a minor political scandal.
The show featured hits from across Taylor’s 18-year music career, including a section that was added halfway through the tour, made up of songs from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.
For those who missed out on seeing the 121-date Eras Tour, there’s always the option of watching the Golden Globe-nominated concert film, which is currently streaming on Disney+.
