It's the end of an era: Taylor Swift's 'Eras Tour' comes to a close in Vancouver
NBC ^ | Dec. 8, 2024 | Rebecca Cohen, Emilie Ikeda, Alexandra Hess

As Taylor Swift sings in her famed fan anthem “Long Live,” “Remember this moment.”

For her loyal fans, there have been many of those moments since the "Eras Tour" kicked off in March 2023.

Sunday night’s show was the last of that marathon tour, which has spanned nearly two years, five continents, 50 cities and a remarkable 149 shows — each of which has featured Swift singing, dancing and glittering for more than three hours.

Swift said in June that the tour, which at the time seemed to be everlasting, would conclude in Vancouver in December.

The tour, which featured songs from Swift’s 11 albums, or “eras,” was marked by friendship bracelets, a revolt against Ticketmaster, a record-setting concert film and booming economies in nearly every city she touched.

It also featured a blossoming romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who appeared onstage in London and was mentioned in Swift’s “Karma” multiple times on the tour.

Sisters Amanda and Sarah Cowley, both University of Victoria students, described the show as “unreal” and “incredible.”

“It’s insane the amount of tourism this brings, ’cause this is our home city. ... I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,” Sarah Cowley said.

Amanda Cowley said it’s “crazy” to be at the show as “both a fan and just to witness this.”

“It’s gonna be historic one day to say that I went to the Eras Tour,” she said.

All I can say is, for as busy a schedule as she keeps, she sure hasn’t had any trouble putting on weight.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Taylor Swift song. Is hers the kind of music that will still be listened to fifty years later like Beatles music?

Do they mean that teens are starting to figure out that a 34 year old woman, old enough to be their Mom, is singing to them about teenage and love angst? Like, gross.

I'm in the same boat though I've heard bits and pieces. I think it's like women power, relationship from female perspective type songs? So probably not going to last long.

In before the FR posters who reliably assure us that all Beatles music is garbage.

Madonna was a decade or more after the Beatles and nobody still listens to her songs. Does Swift have a CD with her 20 Number one hits?

CD? Swift fans probably don't know what that is.
