Review: Taylor Swift ends record-breaking Eras Tour with electric Vancouver show

‘Vancouver, I want to thank every single one of you for being part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date,’ Swift told the crowd

After nearly 150 concerts spanning five continents and more than 10 million fans attending, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour came to a close in Vancouver Sunday night at B.C. Place.

Opening her three-night stint with a spectacular opening show on Friday, Swift staged a concert that will surely live on in fans’ minds — and relived through countless highlight reels and social media posts — for a very long time.

“Can you believe this is the last night of the Eras Tour? I can’t,” opening act Gracie Abrams said to the crowd, adding: “Have all of you been crying all day like me?”

The singer joined Swift on 49 of the Eras Tour dates, including Toronto and Vancouver, and clearly wasn’t quite ready to say goodbye.

It’s a sentiment that was most certainly shared by fans.

Swift selected Vancouver to close out her record-breaking tour — the Eras Tour went down as the first tour to gross $1 billion way back in December 2023 and final ticket sales after the three B.C. Place dates total more than $2 billion, according to The New York Times — because of the dedicated fan response she receives here.

“We spent the entire year of 2024 travelling the world,” the superstar singer-songwriter said in concert on Friday. “And we thought to ourselves: ‘Where have the crowds been so generous, so welcoming, so warm-hearted — where they know every single word, they not only sing them, but they scream them? Oh, we’ve got to go back to Canada.’ And so now here we are in beautiful Vancouver.”

And those fans certainly must have met — if not exceeded — Swift’s expectations on Sunday night.

What was the set list?

Rumours abounded before the final night that the already-lengthy set list would go even longer.

The rumours, it turns out, were false. In true Eras fashion, the show started punctually and ran with a familiar set list, save for the “surprise songs,” which featured five song mash-ups instead of four.
