Taylor Swift "never wanted" her 'Eras tour to end.
The 34-year-old pop megastar will wrap up her global jaunt in Canada on Sunday night after 20 months on the road and on the penultimate performance of the three-and-a-half hour show, she told fans that it is the "most fun, joyful, exciting" tour she has ever undertaken.
Speaking to the crowd at BC Place in Vancouver on Saturday (07.12.24) night, she said: "This is the most fun, joyful, exciting, intense, powerful and wonderful tour I have ever done, and that’s all because of the way that you have treated it. There’s a reason why this is my longest tour I’ve ever done. I’ve never played this many shows on a tour before, and it’s just cause I really never wanted it to end, because you guys have made it into such a wonderful experience for all of us on stage."
The 'Anti-Hero'[ songstress - who will have played a total of 149 shows to nearly more than four and a half million fans since she opened in Arizona in March 2023 - is also honoured that the Swifties have created friendship bracelets a worldwide phenomenon after she wrote them into a single line in her 2022 track 'You're On Your Own Kid'.
She said: "I wrote one line in a song that mentions ‘make the friendship bracelets,’ and I show up to the first show of the Eras Tour, and you guys made friendship bracelets, you’re trading friendship bracelets, you’re making friends, and now I feel like, friendship bracelets, you’ve kinda made that idea synonymous with the 'Eras' tour.
"That’s a pretty wild thing you can do — and that’s just one of the things.”
