The emotional tone of the evening continued as Swift received a lengthy standing ovation from the Vancouver crowd after performing the Evermore track “Champagne Problems” for the final time on this tour. Swift visibly fought back tears, overwhelmed by the love and support from the audience.
In keeping with her tradition of surprise songs, Swift performed a mix of tracks that were both nostalgic and heartfelt. On the guitar, she played a mashup of “A Place in This World” from her 2006 debut album and “New Romantics” from 1989. Then, on the piano, she performed a moving mashup of “Long Live,” “New Year’s Day,” and “The Manuscript” from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, making a poignant change to the lyrics of “Long Live”—replacing “It was the end of a decade” with “It was the end of an era,” emphasizing the symbolic end of this chapter in her career.
The tour’s finale was truly emotional for everyone involved. After her final bow, Taylor shared a group hug with her dancers and backing vocalists, who had been by her side throughout this incredible journey.
But the Eras Tour didn’t just go out with a bang emotionally—it also made history. According to The New York Times, Swift’s tour grossed over $2 billion in ticket sales, making it the first tour in history to ever reach this monumental milestone. This unprecedented achievement solidifies the Eras Tour as not only a cultural phenomenon but also a financial triumph.
As the Eras Tour wraps up, fans around the world are already reflecting on the unforgettable experiences they’ve had over the past two years. From unforgettable performances to surprise moments, Taylor Swift’s impact on her fans has been profound.
