Taylor Swift Has One Last Surprise at Final Stop on ‘Beloved Eras Tour’ in Vancouver: ‘End of an Era’
Taylor Swift showcased her extraordinary talents during the goodbye performance of her "Eras Tour" on December 8, 2024, at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, US Weekly reported. This show concluded her beloved tour and featured a significant surprise for her fans: a three-song mash-up. The performance combined "Love Live," "New Year’s Day," and The Tortured Poets Department's bonus track, "The Manuscript," creating an unforgettable moment for the audience.
One fan highlighted that the last surprise song mirrored the tour's start, tweeting, "First surprise song: ‘Tim McGraw,’ last surprise song: ‘The Manuscript,’ the first and last song in her repertoire."
Swift artfully changed the lyrics of "Long Live" in her finale from "It was the end of a decade" to "It was the end of an era / But the start of an age."
As the concert wrapped up, Swift expressed gratitude towards her fans, sharing how instrumental they were in "the most thrilling chapter" of her life. Swift then introduced her final song, "Karma," from the 2022 album *Midnights*. Staying true to her personal touch throughout the tour, she acknowledged her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, by singing, "Karma is the guy on the Chiefs."
Starting in March 2023 in Glendale, Arizona, the "Eras Tour" spanned multiple continents and nations. Swift’s international journey included dates in South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. After spending nearly two years touring, the pop star returned to North America for a few last shows in the U.S. and Canada.
Sixty-three shows took place in the U.S., while the tour celebrated 149 sold-out performances globally across five continents. This extraordinary reporting establishes "Eras Tour" as the highest-grossing tour ever.
In an interview with "TIME" in December 2023, Swift discussed her commitment to "superserve the fans" through her biggest tour to date. Attendees experienced an extensive three-and-a-half-hour concert, featuring an impressive 45-song setlist. The concert highlighted tracks across her musical eras and included a cameo from her NFL star boyfriend.
"It’s essential that fans work hard to get tickets," she remarked, aiming to create a performance they wouldn’t forget. She stated, "I wanted to make it longer than they ever thought possible; it brings me joy leaving the stadium."
Praising the tour, Swift shared how it fulfilled her like never before. She acknowledged feeling an obligation to perform regardless of her health or personal challenges. "If someone buys a ticket, I’m going to play, unless something extreme occurs," she asserted.
In June, she admitted the tour had dominated her life, calling it "the most joyful, tiring, and rewarding experience." She humorously noted, "I think I had hobbies before; now, I only think about clever acoustic mash-ups."
While enjoying record-breaking success, Swift released her 11th studio album, |The Tortured Poets Department," which inspired the updated show content, including seven tracks from the album. She also rereleased "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)" and "1989 (Taylor’s Version)." By filming her concert, she guarantees that "Eras Tour" will entertain fans for years ahead.
Coupled with her professional triumphs, Swift also navigated changes in her personal life, the most notable being her relationship with Kelce. This connection sparked after he attended one of her concerts in the summer of 2023.
