"End of Taylor Swift's "Eras Tour""

With an emotional concert in front of about 60,000 enthusiastic fans, Taylor Swift concluded her monumental "Eras Tour" in Canada. During her performance on Sunday (local time) at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, the 34-year-old thanked her fans for their passion and loyalty, according to local media reports.

"Happy Birthday" Choruses for Singer Taylor Swift

"This is the remaining legacy of this tour: The fact that you have created such a space of joy, togetherness, and love," said the US singer. She could not be prouder of her fans. Many of the attendees were reportedly moved to tears. During the concert, the audience reportedly sang "Happy Birthday" for Swift, who turns 35 on December 13.

The concert series of the pop icon, according to industry estimates, grossed around two billion dollars (approximately 1.9 billion euros) with more than ten million tickets sold, making it the highest-grossing tour in history. The tour was the "most extraordinary chapter" of her life so far, Swift herself wrote on Instagram. However, the success was overshadowed by the terror cancellation in Vienna.

World Record Tour Overshadowed by Terror Cancellation in Vienna

Since March 2023, Swift has performed at around 150 concerts on five continents and delivered the best songs from her 18-year career in three-hour shows in elaborate costumes. Fans travelled especially for this, stayed overnight in hotels, visited restaurants, and thus boosted the local economy.

In Germany, Swift played seven concerts in Gelsenkirchen, Munich, and Hamburg, which sold out within minutes. However, the three concerts planned in Vienna were cancelled following the arrest of two terror suspects, plunging the travelling Swifties into despair.

Taylor's "Eras Tour" Sparks New Phenomena

Beyond the economic impacts, the "Eras Tour" triggered phenomena such as "Taylor-gating", where thousands of fans gathered near the venues in heat and rain without tickets to celebrate the event, sing, and exchange friendship bracelets - including in Vancouver.

Fans look back on unforgettable moments like a piano that played on its own due to rain damage, or the performance of Swift's partner, football star Travis Kelce, at a concert in London. Dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, he carried the 34-year-old across the stage.

At a concert in Los Angeles, Swift gave Bianka Bryant, the daughter of the basketball legend Kobe Bryant who died in a helicopter crash in 2020, her iconic black hat during her hit "22".

The concerts in Canada - with shows in Toronto and Vancouver - were only added to the program last year according to local media reports. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had asked Swift on social media not to neglect his country. The singer now thanked the "generous" and "warm-hearted" Canadian audience at the end.
