Taylor Swift has wrapped up her "Eras Tour" on Sunday, with a memorable performance at BC Place in Vancouver.
This marks the end of a tour that spanned five continents, 51 cities, and attracted over 10 million fans.
The 34-year-old pop star kicked off the tour in March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona, and has since performed for millions of fans across the globe.
The "Eras Tour" celebrated Swift’s music, from her country roots to her pop hits and more recent indie work.
Reflecting on the experience, Swift told the crowd, "We’ve toured the entire world with this tour, we’ve had so many adventures, it’s been the most powerful, electrifying, intense, and challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. We’ve got to perform for over 10 million people on this tour and tonight, we get to play one more last song here in beautiful Vancouver."

One of the most special moments during the final show was when Swift performed a mash-up of three songs, “Love Live,” “New Year’s Day,” and “The Manuscript,” a bonus track from The Tortured Poets Department.
She also changed the lyrics of her song “Long Live” from “It was the end of a decade” to “It was the end of an era / But the start of an age.”

Social media was abuzz with fans sharing their reactions.

As the concert ended, Swift received a surprise of her own. After performing “Champagne Problems,” the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to her ahead of her 35th birthday this coming Friday.

Swift’s fashion also stood out, with her outfits representing different eras of her music. For the 1989 set, she wore a yellow crop top and a red-orange skirt, which fans speculated might be a nod to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his team, the Kansas City Chiefs.
The "Eras Tour" has broken records, becoming the highest-grossing tour of all time. With over $1 billion in earnings, it has been a huge success.
As the final show ended, Swift reflected on the incredible journey, saying, "This tour has been the most joyful, most rewarding, and most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life."
