Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has come to an end, and the singer and fans are emotional alike. She performed the last of her shows at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver on Sunday, and during the concert, she delivered a heartfelt speech that moved her fans.

Swift's Eras Tour began in March 2023 and has since spanned over 150 shows across 5 continents. Each show clocked in at 3.5 hours with 44 songs plucked from 10 different "eras" of her career. As for Sunday's show in Vancouver, it broke sales and attendance records with over 60,000 people in attendance.


Taylor Swift ends her 20-month-long Eras Tour with a heartfelt speech

As the night came closer to the end, Taylor Swift addressed her fans:

"Vancouver, I want to thank every single one of you for being part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date, my beloved Eras Tour."

The Eras Tour was a massive hit in the last 20 months, having garnered over $2 billion, Pollstar estimates. The concert movie alone made 261 million at the box office, and the tour even produced a book this year. During this period, Taylor Swift also became the first entertainer to become Time's Person of the Year. She went on that night:

"This is a little known fact, not many people know this, it hasn’t been talked about very much, but let me give you some information that you probably don’t already know—Vancouver is actually the very last city that we will play on the Eras Tour. Did you know that?"

She also told the crowd that night that the magic of the Eras Tour “is that you have created such a space of joy and togetherness and love. I couldn’t be more proud of you.” She continued:

"There’s a reason this is my longest tour. I never wanted it to end because you made it a wonderful experience. You created traditions… trading friendship bracelets.”

Taylor Swift had over 26.6 billion streams on Spotify this year, as reported by People Magazine:

"Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, which dropped in April in the middle of her Eras Tour, was the most-streamed album of 2024. Following TTPD, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Eilish, Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter, MANANA SERA BONITO by KAROL G and Eternal Sunshine by Ariana Grande made up the top five albums of 2024."

During Sunday's performance, confetti in the shape of snowflakes fell during the artist's 10-minute version of All Too Well, and during her acoustic set, she swapped the bar of Long Live from "end of a decade" to "end of an era."
