Is it over now?

For Vancouver and Taylor Swift fans around the world basking in the afterglow of the final performance of the pop megastar香蕉视频直播檚 record-smashing Eras Tour, the answer is yes, it香蕉视频直播檚 over.

The 香蕉视频直播淐ruel Summer香蕉视频直播 star took to the Eras runway stage for the last time on Sunday night in a sold-out BC Place stadium, telling fans she was getting to 香蕉视频直播渟pend the last night of the Eras Tour with 60,000 people in Vancouver,香蕉视频直播 after performing the three-hour-plus show for more than 10 million fans globally.

The last performance was also watched by millions on livestreams around the world.

香蕉视频直播淰ancouver, I want to thank every single one of you for being part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date, my beloved Eras Tour,香蕉视频直播 Swift said near the end of the night.

Over the course of its 149-show, 20-month run, the Eras Tour became nothing short of a glittery global cultural phenomenon.

It generated revenue estimated by music industry publication Pollstar at more than US$2 billion, a concert movie that took US$261 million at the box office, and even a book that was the biggest publishing launch of 2024.

There has never, ever, ever been a concert tour like this, and along the way, Swift became the first entertainer named Time香蕉视频直播檚 person of the year.

Swift told the audience on Sunday that the legacy of the Eras Tour 香蕉视频直播渋s that you have created such a space of joy and togetherness and love. I couldn香蕉视频直播檛 be more proud of you.香蕉视频直播

Cities in 19 countries around the world fell under the Eras spell. Tourism officials say six shows in Toronto last month brought $282 million in economic activity, and an estimated $157 million to Vancouver, where landmarks were draped with giant friendship bracelets and the iconic Gastown steam clock was retuned to play 香蕉视频直播淪hake It Off.香蕉视频直播

But for fans, the tour was about more than numbers 香蕉视频直播 it was about the connection to each other and Swift, who had made her entrance from under the Eras stage for the last time to the chords of 香蕉视频直播淢iss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince香蕉视频直播 dressed in a shimmering blue and gold body suit.

As snowlike confetti fell during Swift香蕉视频直播檚 10-minute version of 香蕉视频直播淎ll Too Well,香蕉视频直播 many fans were in tears as they sang along.

Throughout Sunday香蕉视频直播檚 performance, there were nods to the sense of closure.

During her acoustic set, Swift changed the lyrics of 香蕉视频直播淟ong Live香蕉视频直播 from 香蕉视频直播渆nd of a decade香蕉视频直播 to 香蕉视频直播渆nd of an era.香蕉视频直播

Dancer Kam Saunders had earlier told Swift 香蕉视频直播渇or the last time, no香蕉视频直播 in response to the familiar refrain of 香蕉视频直播淲e Are Never Ever Getting Back Together香蕉视频直播.

Among the overwhelmingly female crowd on Sunday was Cindy San, who cut short a holiday in Hawaii and flew back to her hometown of Vancouver on the morning of the performance after her father won show tickets in a contest.

香蕉视频直播淚 may just cry,香蕉视频直播 said San before the show, draped in giant homemade friendship bracelets, a sparkly blue dress and white cowboy boots. 香蕉视频直播淚 just peaked. Nothing gets better than this.香蕉视频直播

Dominic Cielak from Chicago, Il., had started the tour with Swift at her first show in Glendale, Ariz., in March 2023, and was there on Sunday at the end.

In between, the 23-year-old saw another 16 Eras shows, including performances in Japan and Australia.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 at a loss of words,香蕉视频直播 Cielak after the show, his arms wrapped in 300 friendship bracelets collected on his epic Eras journey. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 happy. I think it香蕉视频直播檚 come to a good conclusion, (but I香蕉视频直播檓) very emotional.香蕉视频直播

Outside the stadium, which was surrounded by barricades, crowds had gathered near the Terry Fox memorial to listen and sing along for free, under the watch of a heavy police presence.

Stadium officials warned ticketless fans to stay away, but on all three nights crowds had gathered, part of a global phenomenon known as 香蕉视频直播淭aylgating.香蕉视频直播

Also singing along were fans watching the numerous unofficial livestreams of the performance; one on YouTube was watched by about 300,000 people.

Swifties who descended on downtown Vancouver included celebrities like rapper Flavor Flav. The Public Enemy hype-man said on social media he was on his way from Los Angeles to 香蕉视频直播淭aycouver香蕉视频直播 on a 香蕉视频直播渇light full of Swifties香蕉视频直播 ahead of Sunday香蕉视频直播檚 show.

B.C. singer Michael Bubl茅 was handing out friendship bracelets on night one, also attended by Swift香蕉视频直播檚 parents, while Canuck Jake DeBrusk was at Saturday香蕉视频直播檚 show according to a social media post and photo by his girlfriend.

Bubl茅 said on Instagram that he and his family 香蕉视频直播渨itnessed something last night that we香蕉视频直播檝e never experienced before and frankly, may never experience again. Taylor is truly an incredible entertainer.香蕉视频直播

He said his daughters 香蕉视频直播渨ere in awe of Taylor 香蕉视频直播 We are grateful to have seen the Eras Tour and in our very own hometown.香蕉视频直播

Swift has reciprocated fans香蕉视频直播 feelings, telling the audience on Friday night that she chose Canada and Vancouver to close out the tour because the fans not only know the lyrics, they 香蕉视频直播渟cream them.香蕉视频直播

Swifties had been planning something special to end the tour, and during the three-minute standing ovation for 香蕉视频直播淐hampagne Problems香蕉视频直播 there were chants of 香蕉视频直播渉appy birthday香蕉视频直播 for Swift, who turns 35 on Dec. 13.

Fan projects like this have been a big part of the Eras Tour, with chants and patterned clapping breaking out during various songs.

University of Kansas sociology professor and 香蕉视频直播淪wiftologist香蕉视频直播 Brian Donovan says such moments of joyous social solidarity are known as 香蕉视频直播渃ollective effervescence.香蕉视频直播

香蕉视频直播淲hat is interesting about the Eras Tour is that it also brought about unique cultural things like the trading of friendship bracelets,香蕉视频直播 he said, noting such practices were fan-driven and were not organized by Swift or her team.

A fashion focus has also been central to the tour experience, with devotees dressed in outfits reflecting their favourite eras by Swift, who would make about 16 costume changes per show.

Langley, B.C., resident Vivian Strujenco, attending her second Eras Tour show, looked around the arena on Sunday and gestured to the hundreds of other fans dressed in glittering costumes. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 such girlhood to see everyone so dressed up.香蕉视频直播

The 17-year-old wore a silver suit dress, paired with sparkly boots and inspired by Swift香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淭he Man香蕉视频直播 set.

Canada was announced as a late addition to the tour last year. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had previously pleaded with the star on social media to visit Canada, telling her 香蕉视频直播渄on香蕉视频直播檛 make it another 香蕉视频直播楥ruel Summer.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈

Trudeau and family members were among Swifties at the Toronto shows, as were former U.S. president Bill Clinton and his wife former U.S. secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Many fans had been expecting a big announcement at Sunday香蕉视频直播檚 final show 香蕉视频直播 perhaps another album re-release 香蕉视频直播 but in the end there were none.

During 香蕉视频直播淢idnight Rain,香蕉视频直播 when Swift had lately been counting down the shows, she lowered her last finger and waved to the crowd, signalling the end was nigh.

After 香蕉视频直播淜arma,香蕉视频直播 fireworks and confetti erupted from the stage. There was a group hug with her backup performers before she took her final bow, then ran offstage laughing.

The Eras Tour may be over, but there may be another way to relive it in the works 香蕉视频直播 a camera crew was seen recording Swift香蕉视频直播檚 three performances in Vancouver, raising fan hopes of another concert movie.
