Taylor Swift has officially announced that her monumental Eras Tour will conclude in December. During a heartfelt moment at her 100th show in Liverpool, the pop icon revealed that the tour, which has become a defining chapter of her career, will not extend into 2025. The final performance is set for December 8 in Vancouver, just days before Swift’s 35th birthday.
“This is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December,” Swift shared with her fans during her “All Too Well” speech. The singer, dressed in her signature bedazzled red and black jacket, reflected on how the tour has consumed her life. “All I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups and think about what you might want to hear,” she joked.
The Eras Tour, which began in March 2023, has been a journey through Swift’s musical career, featuring songs from every album she has released. The tour has been a massive success, breaking attendance records and grossing over $1 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time. Fans have gone to great lengths to attend the shows, with some traveling internationally and others attending multiple concerts.
Swift’s acoustic section, unique to each city, has become a fan favorite. She started mashing up songs in 2024, and there are still about 30 songs in her vast discography left to perform. “You have done so much to be with us,” she told the audience. “You’ve made plans so far in advance. You planned what you were going to wear. You memorized lyrics. You got yourself here. You figured out parking. You figured out transportation.”
The tour was first announced in November 2022 with 27 concerts across the United States. Due to overwhelming demand, the number of shows quickly escalated to 66 in the first year and 86 in the second year, spanning 22 countries. The tour has continued to evolve with album announcements, music video reveals, special guest appearances, and a new “Tortured Poets” set unveiled in Paris.
Swift’s concerts have developed a unique culture, with fans creating friendship bracelets, custom concert chants, and unforgettable dance moves. Tens of thousands of fans log on to watch livestreams every concert night, eagerly anticipating Swift’s outfits and custom mashups of songs not included in the massive 46-song set list.
In October 2023, a concert film of the Eras Tour was released, bypassing traditional production studios as Swift worked directly with AMC as a distributor. The film is available on Disney+, and there is no word yet on whether a second movie will be released with the newly scrambled show and additional set.
Swift is currently a third of the way through her 51 European stops. She will return to North America in the fall, with shows in Miami, New Orleans, and Indianapolis in October and November, followed by a final leg in Canada. Her last show for 2024 is scheduled for December 8 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
During her speech in Liverpool, Swift expressed her gratitude to her fans. “I want to spend the 100th show just thinking about that and living in this moment with you — and being here with you. Just know that I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you’ve put into being with us when this tour reaches triple digits of shows. So, thank you.”
The Eras Tour has been described by Swift as “the most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life.” The tour has not only been a commercial success but also a cultural phenomenon, with fans and critics alike praising Swift’s performances and the overall experience.
As the tour approaches its final months, Swift has 52 more shows on her schedule, including stops in England, Poland, Austria, the U.S., and Canada. The anticipation for each show remains high, with fans eagerly awaiting the unique experiences that each concert promises.
Swift’s impact on the music industry and her fans is undeniable. Her ability to connect with her audience and create memorable experiences has solidified her status as one of the most influential artists of her generation. As the Eras Tour comes to a close, fans will undoubtedly cherish the memories and moments shared with Swift during this extraordinary journey.
