After almost 2 years of touring, over 150 shows worldwide, 2 rerecordings, a double album and 8 broken records the Eras Tour will come to an end. For 21 months Taylor Swift performed 44 songs on the setlist and 2 surprise songs came rain, shine, or snow. Over 10 million people saw this show live, while countless others sat over livestreams streaming in for surprise songs and their favorite eras.
Alexa LaMalfa describes the Eras Tour as “the most magical, sentimental, and community-oriented place on earth.”zztz
She is not the only one who thinks so either. The final show will have a total of 160,000 people travelling from near and far to watch this three and half hour performance.
“Traveled 2800 miles for this” quoted Isabella Zarate on her says story a while posing in front of the Arena.
During every show Taylor Swift has a “surprise song section”this is when she picks any two songs from her discography and plays them acoustically; she has also been known to play songs she has written and not performed, like This Is What You Came For pool pop and Crazier, she also has brought out guests, like Gracie Abrams and Sabrina Carpenter, and played songs from their discography as well. Before surprise songs she gives a speech and then grabs the guitar and starts playing. Starting in the Argentina show she added the possibility of mash-ups to the mix. At the final show she played A Place In This World (debut) and New Romantics (1989) on the guitar and Long LIve (Speak Now), New Years Day (Reputation) and The Manuscript (Tortured Poets Department) on the piano. These songs were played around 2 am est and the final show ended at 3.
Taylor claims she started the acoustic set “to create a guessing game every night and think about what you might want to hear.” Swifities took this literally and made an app dedicated to guessing the songs and outfits she plays every night.
As the Eras tour comes to an end swifties are distraught over no longer being able to play this game and watch live streams provided by Tess, Tess livestreamed almost every tour no matter what and made the Eras tour something to watch from wherever you are.
Everyone who went loved the eras tour and tarebear120 described the show by saying “this was the most magical night of my life just to be a part of the final night of the eras tour.”
