Taylor Swift Announces End of Eras Tour During 100th Show in Liverpool

Taylor Swift celebrated a monumental moment in her career during her 100th show on the Eras Tour in Liverpool, England. In a surprise announcement, Swift revealed that the tour would conclude in December 2024.

“You know, this is actually the 100th show of the tour. That blows my mind,” Swift told the audience in a fan-recorded video posted to X. She added, “That doesn’t feel like a real statistic to me because this has definitely been the most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life thus far. These moments with you.”

A spokesperson for the 14-time Grammy winner confirmed to ABC News that Swift’s tour will end with a stop in Vancouver, Canada, on Dec. 8. The Eras Tour began on March 18, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona, and has been a global phenomenon.

Initially planned as a shorter stint, the tour has been extended multiple times, covering the United States, South America, Asia, Australia, and now Europe. After its European leg, the tour will return to North America for its final shows.

In her heartfelt announcement, Swift reflected on the significance of the moment. “The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December,” she said. “Like, that’s it, and that feels like so far away from now, but then again it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows that we have on the whole tour,” she added.

Throughout the tour, Swift has consistently expressed her gratitude and awe at the overwhelming support from her fans. “I think that this tour has really become my entire life,” she admitted during the announcement. She added, “It’s taken over everything. Like, I think I once had hobbies but I don’t know what they were anymore. ‘Cause all I do when I’m not on stage is, like, sit at home and try to think of clever, like, acoustic song mashups and think about what you might want to hear. Just – so like, when I’m not on the stage, I’m dreaming about being back on the stage with you guys.”

Swifties are going to be feeling down bad with this news. During Taylor Swift’s Liverpool concert on Thursday, she revealed that her Eras Tour will officially end in December. Before playing “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version),” Swift marveled over the fact that the Liverpool show marked the 100th stop on her Eras Tour. “Absolutely, that blows my mind,” Swift said. “That doesn’t feel like a real statistic to me because this has definitely been exhausting, all-encompassing, but the most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life, this tour.”

Swift acknowledged that, throughout its run, the Eras Tour has “become my entire life” and “taken over everything.” “I think once I had hobbies, but I don’t know what they were anymore, because all I do when I’m not onstage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups and think about what you might want to hear,” she said. “Really, when I’m not on the stage, I’m dreaming about being back on the stage with you guys.”

Swift continued her speech by discussing the lengths her fans have gone to in order to attend the tour. “You have done so much to be with us. You’ve made plans so far in advance, you planned what you were going to wear, you memorized lyrics, you got yourselves here, you figured out parking, you figured out transportation, and I want to spend the hundredth show just thinking about that, and living in this moment with you, and being here with you,” she said. “Just know that I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you’ve been [bringing] to being with us when this tour reaches triple digits of shows. So thank you.”

Though the Eras Tour now has an end date, there are still plenty of shows to come. After wrapping up her shows in Liverpool on Saturday, Swift will head to other locales across Europe through August. She’ll then pick up the North American leg of the tour, playing shows throughout the U.S. and Canada. As it stands now, the last stop of the Eras Tour will be Dec. 8 in Vancouver, Canada.

Throughout her record-breaking tour, Swift has helped fans in need, celebrated love stories, championed Pride Month, suffered wardrobe malfunctions and gotten flirty onstage while singing about her own romance with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. She’s also welcomed A-list stars to the show, getting visits from the likes of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, HAIM, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid, and, of course, Kelce himself.

The singer made the comments while celebrating the 100th show of the tour. Published on June 13, 2024, Taylor Swift is thinking about the end of her Eras era. During her Eras Tour stop in Liverpool on Thursday, the singer got reflective. The show was the 100th date on the massive worldwide tour, and Swift took the opportunity to talk about the end of the tour for the first time.

“I think a lot of people are like, well, how are you going to celebrate the 100th show?” she told the screaming crowd. “And for me, the celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is gonna end in December. Like, that’s it.”

She continued, “That feels like so far away from now. But then again, it feels like I just did my first show on this tour, because you guys have made this so much fun for us that we wanted to do 100 shows, 150-something shows.”

The 14-time Grammy winner then added that the tour has “become my entire life” and she doesn’t remember her hobbies anymore because “all I do when I’m not on stage is just like sit at home and try to think of some clever acoustic song mashups and thinking about what you might like to hear.”

Swift then thanked fans for all the effort they’ve made to attend 100 shows of the Eras Tour, and told them how she wanted to celebrate the milestone. “I want to spend another show just thinking about that and living in this moment with you and being here with you and just know that I appreciate every single ounce of effort you put in to be with us when this tour reaches triple digits of shows. So thank you.” She then proceeded to play fan-favorite “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” as usual, asking the obliging fans if they had 10 minutes to spare, as is custom.

Swift has two more dates in the U.K. city this weekend before moving on to Cardiff and the first of several dates in London. The Eras Tour, which kicked off March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Ariz., will have spanned five continents and 152 total shows when it concludes in Vancouver, Canada on Dec. 8 of this year. Swift’s comments Thursday marked the first time she ever publicly confirmed the end of the tour, which she continued to add dates to over the past year.

Taylor Swift played her 100th show of the Eras tour on Thursday in Liverpool. “This is the very first time I’ve acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December,” she told the crowd. The final show will be in Vancouver on Dec. 8.

The end of Taylor Swift’s “Eras” era is coming in December. At the 100th show of the Eras Tour, held at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England, on Thursday, the pop superstar told the audience that the tour would be coming to a close at the end of the year.

“A lot of you are like, ‘How are you going to celebrate the 100th show?’ ” Swift, 34 said to the crowd on June 13, per fan-filmed footage. “The celebration of the 100th show for me means this is the very first time I’ve acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December.”

“That feels so far away from now, but then again, it feels like we just played our first show on this tour because you have made this so fun for us,” she continued. “It’s taken over everything. I think I once had hobbies, but I don’t know what they were anymore because all I do when I’m not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups,” the “Fortnight” singer continued, referencing the “surprise song” acoustic set she plays for fans towards the end of every Eras Tour show.

Swift first announced the Eras Tour in November 2022, with 27 concert dates across the United States. After over 3.5 million Swifties pre-registered for Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan program — largest registration in Ticketmaster history — Swift added an additional 17 performances.

During the Ticketmaster presale, the website canceled the tour’s general sale due to “extraordinarily high demands” — and Swift herself took to Instagram to tell fans “it really pisses me off” that some fans felt they had to “go through several bear attacks” to secure their tickets.

Since the initial domestic sale, the “All Too Well” singer has announced several additional legs to the “Eras Tour,” including dates in Latin America, Asia, Australia and Europe, as well as an additional North American leg. The last scheduled show — the 152nd of the tour — is in Vancouver on Dec. 8.

“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,” Swift told the fans in Liverpool.

As fans descended upon Liverpool for the set of shows this weekend, they were met with what Liverpool City Council’s Director for Culture Claire McColgan called in a statement “pure pop heaven” — 11 city-commissioned public art installations, each meant to represent one of the superstars “eras.” Along what the city dubbed Taylor Town Trail, fans could snap photos on a gold throne adorned with snakes, emblematic of Swift’s Reputation album, or a moss-covered piano much like the one Swift plays during “Champagne Problems” on her Eras Tour setlist.

The “Anti-Hero” singer’s stop in Liverpool — the birthplace of The Beatles — comes not long after she surpassed a record set by the iconic English rock band. In February, Billboard reported that Swift had notched an eye-popping 384 cumulative weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart across all of her albums, souring past the Fab Four’s long reign on top.

And, as further proof of her global dominance, the “Piano Man” himself, Billy Joel, said to The New York Times of the Eras Tour in August: “The only thing I can compare it to is the phenomenon of Beatlemania.”

In anticipation of the fanfare surrounding Swift’s first ever shows in the city, Merseyside Police said they had been working for six months to “make sure the event is a safe one” in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter). “We’re really looking forward to welcoming Taylor Swift and the Swifties,” Chief Superintendent for Liverpool Zoe Thornton told fans in the video. “We know Swifties look after each other so continue to do so.”

Swift’s three-day stint in Liverpool follows a British Geological Survey report that found her last Eras Tour stop — three shows in Edinburgh — generated seismic activity that was detected at monitoring stations over three miles from the stadium. According to the agency, fan favorite “…Ready For It?” drew the most seismic activity, though her hit “Cruel Summer” was not far behind.

In the interim between her Edinburgh and Liverpool concert dates, Swift stayed busy, taking a star-studded stroll in London, photographed with celebrity friends Este and Danielle Haim, Cara Delevingne, Lena Dunham, Kate Moss and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

The night on the town also came as Swift’s ex, Matty Healy of The 1975, confirmed his engagement to model Gabbriette Bechtel. Swift and Healy were briefly linked in May 2023 on the heels of the “Love Story” singer’s six-year relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn. Swift is now coupled with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who has supported the singer by attending several Eras Tour concerts since they started dating last summer.

Following three nights in Liverpool, Swift will jet off to Cardiff, Wales, for her next Eras Tour date.
