Taylor Swift wraps up $2B Eras Tour with emotional send-off: Here’s what she said
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour was something out of her wildest dreams.
The pop star closed her record-breaking chapter with a Vancouver show on Sunday night, ending the concert by singing “Karma” — and shouting out her fans.
“I want to thank every single one of you for being a part of the most thrilling chapter of my entire life to date — my beloved Eras Tour,” the singer, 34, said before launching into the 2022 hit, according to an X video.

Another concertgoer posted social media footage of Swift gushing about the “adventures” she’s had “touring the entire world” in more than 150 shows across five continents.
“It has been the most exciting, powerful, electrifying, intense, most challenging thing I’ve ever done in my entire life,” she gushed ahead of her “Lover” performance.
The Grammy winner added, “We’ve gotten to perform for over 10 million people on this tour.”
The New York Times reported Monday that the Eras Tour raked in $2,077,618,725 in ticket sales, which is “double the gross ticket sales of any other concert tour in history.”
Coldplay’s Spheres World Tour is next, running from March 2022 to September of next year and reportedly making $1 billion.
Swift’s tour started in March 2023 and catapulted her into billionaire status as of October of that year.
At the time, Forbes named Swift the richest female musician worth $1.6 billion, with most of her profits coming from her lives shows.
As her Eras Tour made stops at dozens of cities’ stadiums, Swift also released a concert movie, published a tour book and surprised fans with her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
Adding a “TTPD” set to the show was an “exciting challenge,” the American Music Award winner wrote in her retrospective, out in November.
