The Eras Tour may be over, but Taylor Swift’s management team is reminding fans to “hold on to the memories.”
The Taylor Swift management team expressed their appreciation for the fans who took part in the #TSTheErasTour, a two-year-long event. The message was shared via the Taylor Nation X account on December 8, right after Swift’s final performance in Vancouver. They commended the fans for their dedication, including creating costumes, exchanging friendship bracelets, singing, dancing, and energetically embracing the whole setlist. The management also praised the fans for spreading positivity, love, and making each city a part of their shared experiences.
Even though the tour has concluded, the memories of the fans’ smiles, tears, and friendships will endure forever. The tribute ended with a reminder to cherish these memories as they will stay with you for a lifetime. 🫶
Swift wrapped up her record-breaking Eras Tour, which kicked off in March 2023, at BC Place in Vancouver on Sunday. The tour included 149 shows across five continents and featured many surprise songs.
Closing out the show, Swift, 34, thanked fans for “being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my life to date — my beloved Eras Tour,” per footage shared via social media.
During Sunday’s show, the pop star performed a mash-up of “Long Live,” “New Year’s Day” and “The Manuscript” as her final surprise song on the tour. While singing “Long Live,” she changed the lyrics, “It was the end of a decade,” to, “It was the end of an era / But the start of an age.”
The “Fortnight” singer also gave one last shout-out to her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, with whom she famously got together while on tour. During the last song, “Karma,” she sang, “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs,” referring to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
As well as generating billions of dollars, Swift’s Eras Tour brought her together with Kelce, 35, who attended one of Swift’s concerts at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City in July 2023 and later said he was upset he didn’t get to meet the singer.
“Well, I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” Kelce said on a July 2023 episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “So I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.” He added that he had hoped to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it.
The stars connected later that summer and were official by September 2023 when Swift attended her first Chiefs game.
In December 2023, Swift opened up to TIME about the genesis of her relationship with Kelce.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said.
“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she continued. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”
