Emotional Reactions as Taylor Swift Concludes Eras Tour

Published December 9, 2024

Fans of Taylor Swift have been deeply moved as the singer wrapped up her final performance of the highly celebrated Eras Tour on Sunday night.

The 34-year-old pop star finished this memorable journey in Vancouver, Canada, calling it 'the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, and challenging' experience, which began in March 2023.

With 149 shows and over 10.1 million tickets sold, devoted Swifties, as her fans are commonly known, found themselves heartbroken that the concert series had come to an end after nearly two years.

Many fans turned to TikTok to share their emotions, posting videos of themselves crying and asking, 'What do I do now?'

Swifties in the UK stayed up late, even sacrificing sleep for work and school, to watch the last show via a blurry livestream, hoping for a final announcement from Taylor.

Poppy, a 20-year-old fan from the UK, shared a tearful video on TikTok, saying, 'Where the f*** do we go now I'm so serious.'

Another fan, Annie, expressed her disbelief, stating: 'Me because the Eras Tour is actually over. It's done. Two years and it's done. What. Do. You. Mean.'

Ellie, known as @ellielovesevermore, also posted her emotional response, writing: 'Good morning (it's not a good morning at all) (the eras tour ends today) (already crashing out).'

After the show, she shared a moving follow-up video, saying: 'So that's really it? Thank you forever Taylor.'

Fans were in shock over the conclusion of the tour and were left wondering how to fill the void after spending countless nights watching the livestreams.

The Eras Tour has set records as the highest-grossing tour of all time, being the first to surpass $1 billion in revenue. It showcased different eras based on her ten studio albums with an impressive three-hour setlist of 40 songs.

This tour not only attracted over four million fans globally but also saw celebrities, political figures, and even royals striving to be recognized as the biggest Swifties.

The Eras Tour has transformed the concept of live concerts with popular fan traditions like exchanging friendship bracelets, a long setlist, and a fierce demand for tickets.

After the last show, 19-year-old Eve from the UK commented: 'And that's it. The final Eras Tour EVER is over. What do I do now?'

Emily emotionally held on to the light-up bracelet each fan received at the concert, remarking: 'Seeing my bracelet light up then remembering that today is the end of the Eras Tour.'

Some emotional moments came from fans like Megan Clayton, whose boyfriend proposed during Taylor's performance at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, who cried while watching the final livestream.

Following the end of the tour, speculation intensified around Taylor's personal life, especially after her breakup with longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn in April 2023, shortly after the tour began.

Although fans were eager for a significant surprise or announcement to mark the tour’s end—such as details about a re-recorded version of her album Reputation—there were no special guests or surprises. Instead, Taylor simply embraced her team and departed from the stage.

During the finale, the final surprise songs included a heartfelt acoustic rendition of 'New Year's Day,' which fittingly contained lyrics about cherishing memories.

In her closing remarks, Taylor expressed her heartfelt gratitude, saying, '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.'

She also entertained fans one last time, including a playful lyric change in her song that referenced her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.

As the show came to a close, Taylor's latest album climbed back to number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

After this extensive tour, which launched in March 2023, it is reported she plans to take a break from work for a year, leaving fans to wonder what her future plans might hold.
